Have you ever been devastated by a traumatic experience and wondered, Where is God in all of this? Whatever joy you may have had seems long gone and shows no hope of returning.

You’re not alone. 

In Take Back Your Joy, Nicole Jacobsmeyer tells how she felt defeated and ill-prepared for a decade of relentless trials, from assault and depression to miscarriage and cancer.

Nicole began to doubt with a heart full of questions about the God she was raised to love. Had God given her more than she could handle? But there is always more to the story with Christ.

Take Back Your Joy gives readers renewed hope and reassurance that we’re not alone in our sufferings, doubts, and questions. We can discover a clear sense of purpose even in hard times.
