"Sara's story only grew louder, braver, bolder with her death. It's a story that we all need to keep hearing." -- Lisa-Jo Baker, bestselling author of Surprised by Motherhood Sara Frankl knew she had a terminal disease, but she didn't let it stop her from living. In the face of immeasurable pain, Sara chose joy -- again and again. Her unforgettable message of hope and purpose lives on, even after her death, in her words. Choose Joy is a compilation of the lessons Sara learned while she was dying, written in her own words and sewn together by her close friend Mary Carver. It is a reminder to see the beauty in life, even when it looks nothing like you hoped or planned. In a world full of tragedy, choosing joy is no small task -- but, as Sara knew, the importance lies in the choosing. Once you learn to make that choice, every day, no matter what happens, joy will come.

What is joy? Ask ten different people and you'll get ten different answers. Yet if you asked: a man who grew up fatherless and destitute in the slums of Atlanta a young widow who decided to bring a neglected garden back to life in spite of agonizing physical pain and a deeply wounded spirit or author Dan Lord himself, ex-frontman for a popular indie rock band each would point to the one source of their joy: Jesus. They made the choice for joy, against all odds, and so can you, though the obstacles might seem insurmountable. Worry and anxiety, pain and suffering, the daily grind -- all these and more can block your path. When faced with such challenges, is it possible to get past the barriers, let go, and experience God's joy? When you look around, you might wonder -- although joy is a fruit of the Spirit, it doesn't seem to be hanging visibly from many Christian boughs. Choosing Joy aims to change that -- and change your life in the process -- as it helps you discover the key to this most attractive but seemingly elusive gift. Choosing Joy will help you overcome the obstacles and focus your heart, mind and strength on God so that you can receive the happiness and peace that the world cannot give.

I love the Bible verses that are full of God's promises. They're easy to embrace. Then I stumble on a verse like this and it stops me in my tracks: "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him" (Psalm 37:7).Hard. Harder. Hardest. Be still. Wait. Patiently. I'm not good at any of those. But maybe, just maybe, there's something good here for us. God is inviting us to pause in His presence. To trust in His plan. And to wait for Him. Either to move the mountain-or to move in our hearts.That's why CHOOSE JOY features 100 Scripture-based devotions, prayers, and journaling prompts to help you and me experience a joy-filled life. By being still. Listening. Lingering before the One who beckons us to come close so that our joy may be complete.Sandi Brown is the Founder and President of 99.1 JOY FM and BOOST Radio.
