Synopsis
Women of Faith equals joy! Triumphant joy, exuberant joy . . . outrageous joy! And no wonder. Because as this sparkling, love-and-laugher-filled book reveals, we serve an outrageously joyful God. Dipping their pens in infectious good humor, authors and Women of Faith conference speakers Patsy Clairmont, Barbara Johnson, Marilyn Meberg, Luci Swindoll, Sheila Walsh, and Thelma Wells offer irresistible reasons for rejoicing in every circumstance of life. Using the metaphor of a circus, they encourage us to revel in the three rings of God's love. They join us in skipping across the high wire of his grace, falling back on his safety net of peace, celebrating his hope, and laughing aloud in the freedom that lets us live our lives with abandon. Outrageous Joy introduces one attraction after another--but there's never any competition among the acts! Because each chapter has its own important truth to reveal about joyous Christian living, as seen in: -The Ballyhoo at Bethlehem - Step Right Up! - Juggling, Spinning, and Smiling All the While - Flying Through the Air with the Greatest of Ease - Swallowing Swords - The Biggest Big Top . . . and other wise, merry-hearted reflections. Filled with whimsical illustrations and Barbara Johnson's 'sideshow' nuggets of wisdom and humor, Outrageous Joy will help women of all ages embrace God's outrageous plan for their lives.
