Publisher's summary

Great Joy Waits in Life's Greatest Battles

Joy is stamped on coffee mugs, sewn onto decorative pillows, even displayed on dish soap bottles. But what if there is a deeper power and purpose to this mighty virtue? Through vulnerable storytelling, a difficult diagnosis, and a good dose of humor, Margaret Feinberg reveals how joy is more than whimsy. It's the weapon you can use to fight life's battles. Fight Back with Joy will help you:

• Expand your joy threshold by awakening to God's fierce love for you
• Escape fear and regret by applying biblical strategies to whatever crisis you re facing
• Overcome depression as you reignite your imagination for laughter and celebration
• Discover freedom from the past by learning how to turn mourning into joy
• Rise above endless demands and become more winsome, cheerful, and thankful

No matter what your circumstances, you can practice defiant joy. When you do, you will embrace a life that's richer and fuller than you've ever known before--a life radiant with joy.

Blessed!

As a Stage II Breast cancer survivor, I found the way I related with Marilyn's story was profound. So many details I personally experienced she formed into beautiful words. All would benefit by reading this book, whether a survivor, patient in treatment or loved one or friend walking alongside the forementioned.

Helpful, practical, not even slightly treacle

Feinberg shares her life experience living through cancer and fighting back with joy--small gestures and decisionns then and in her every day life that add joy to life. She understands the importance of the trivial.

The Balm of Gilead

God has used a number of things to get us through the last 5 years of fighting kidney failure, retinopathy, neuropathy, hyper tension and life threatening infections as a result of living a lifetime with diabetes. Caring for my husband has been as much of a blessing as it has been a painful challenge and self revealing. At this moment I MUST say this book has been to me like the BALM IN GILEAD! I listened intently repeating phrases and even chapters several times. I gave away my print copy and spoke to my women's group and explained how much they need to read even if they aren't "going through a crisis" at the moment. It has caused paradigm shifts, established a new paradox and changed my definition of joy! It's permission to go through this process and feel my emotions have given me freedom and its validations have healed spaces and places in my heart that were hurting! I cannot say enough, I cannot thank enough and I am overwhelmed with joy over the gift that this book has been to me and my husband...

Signed,
A refreshed caregiver fighting back with Joy!

centered in reality and perfection

this book addresses real life and as such offers practical counsel in coping with the inevitable disappointments life brings. grounded in biblical scriptures, this book also offers spiritual strength, one that is also practical and not mystical or dismissive of reality. even more, this book is told by a person who lived through bher story and so it's relatable. I enjoyed this very much.

Praying method

The Author’s humor and honesty and inspirational story were very uplifting and applicable. I will remember this book forever.

Wonderful

A truly educational, and uplifting book / audio book Beautifully written and read. …thank you Margaret!

Creative Greiving

Very practical, this is a journey of pain, but great resource for those who want to DO something to demonstrate caring. Margaret actually tore her clothes to express her grief. Joy is strength.

Awesome book!

This book is for anyone struggling to be joyful in any type of trial. Her writing is authentic and raw with practical applications as well as thought provoking concepts. Margaret shows us how to cling to God and find joy in the midst of any storm. Very good but graphic descriptions of cancer and chemo therapy. she doesn't sugarcoat anything. It challenged me and I loved it because it put my non-life-threatening problems into perspective.

Great read!

Definitely put such a sobering perspective on joy during hard times. Helps to understand those that are also experiencing similar walks of life.

I choose joy!

I loved this book. I only wish I understood how to choose joy in my own life.
