Joyful in Hope tells the stories of eight inspirational women who have faced the harsh reality of life and proved the sufficiency of God's power in many different situations. A young mother proves what can be done when she determines to help her autistic son achieve his full potential. A mother works through the meaning of 'unconditional love' when she learns of her son's homosexuality. A wife finds the best ways to help her husband as his brilliant mind begins to give way to dementia These, and the others in the book, are women who are facing life with courage and faith, sometimes doubting but desperately holding on to God and trusting even when they do not understand what is happening. These women reassure us that we are not alone in our situation - that God reaches out to us in our struggles and that he can bring us through.
