What does joy mean to you?In this anthology, more than thirty Christian writers tackle this question in poems, allegories, and short stories. Is joy a feeling? A state of the heart? A person? Can it coexist with heartache? Can it be found in a new baby? In having the best possessions money can buy? In finding the right relationships?Come with us and get to know a wide array of characters who encounter joy in their lives and learn to find it in unexpected places. What lessons might we learn from a packet of sunflower seeds? Can an unloved, lost dog find a home? Is there any joy in the loss of a loved one? Does it shine in the midst of a war? Can an overworked family on vacation locate joy in daily life? Can an unappreciated relative discover a place to belong? Can a crippled girl be seen as more than a pair of crutches? More than anything, however, this collection recognizes the real source of joy that can be found on earth: in our Lord and Savior Jesus and in His mercies to those He loves. Join us on this exploration--and perhaps you'll discover a deeper and richer reality of joy in your own journey.

Everything was falling apart.In everything give thanks.Everything works together for good.Jesus is my everything. In this heartwarming collection, twenty-one Christian authors weave tales both historical and contemporary in a variety of imaginative settings. Everything features lovable characters: a homeless orphan, a reminiscing mother, an agent juggling fatherhood, a wary teenager and his dog, a terrified housebound woman, and a pair of Sherlock Holmes-obsessed orphan twins on a mission. Learn the spiritual lessons of an old car, a mission trip tragedy, a lonely grandmother's box of Christmas ornaments, and a graphic designer's work worries. Smile and weep with a wife bereaved by war, a taxi driver and his ministry, a sweet child with a terminal diagnosis, and chronic illness warrior who learns to bless others. Catch the vision of hope in everything captured in two inspiring poems. Rejoice with a faithful, trusting relative with an uncertain future, sympathize with a health-challenged gardener-wannabe, cry with a family separated by war, and decide who struggles more with birthday party planning: two loyal pixies or a young mother and her mischievous dog. Warmth, hope, and encouragement pervade the pages, echoing the theme of "everything" from a refreshing plethora of angles that are insightfully entertaining, spiritually profound, and eternally valuable. These short pieces will delight and encourage the whole family. Featuring stories and poetry by Rebekah A. Morris, Erika Mathews, Angie Thompson, P.D. Atkerson, Katja H.
