Fight Back with Joy - Margaret Feinberg

In Fight Back with Joy, Margaret Feinberg teaches us that no matter what your circumstances are, you can practice joy and when you practice defiant joy in the face of adversity you will embrace a life that is much richer and fuller than you have ever imagined. She explains in her book how you can expand your joy-threshold by awakening God’s fierce love for you; overcome anxiety as you reignite your imagination for laughter and celebration; escape fear by applying biblical principles to the crises you are facing; get past over the demands of life and become genuinely winsome and cheerful and; find freedom from the past by turning mourning into joy. Feinberg has some excellent advice on mourning and grief. She writes, “mourning is a river that carries us to joy.” No one is immune to sorrow, and only those who learn to grieve well can recapture the healing it brings. Just as light needs darkness, so joy needs grief and just as night precedes morning, joy comes in the mourning. Read this book!
