My thoughts: The title of  this  book  grabbed my attention, since being joyful through whatever life throws at one has been on my mind a lot lately. This book was just what I  needed! With her winsome way of writing, Margaret Feinberg presents readers with the challenge of leading a life filled with joy. As she weaves in her own story of battling  cancer, she encouraes readers through personal stories and scripture to embrace a life that is full and rich, one that is filled with joy.
One of my favorite parts of the book, things to say to those dealing with hard situations,  can be found here 

In no way is this just a book for those struggling with cancer. It's a great book for anyone seeking to be joyful through life and trials.
I received a copy of this book from First Look in exchange  for my honest review.
