Title: Want More? Joy Author: Jeanette Hanscome Publsiher: Focus on the Family ISBN 10: 1-58997-231-7 Genre: Young Adult/Devotional Have you ever wondered if you could really have joy? Is there a difference between joy and happiness? Jeanette didn’t have much cause for joy. Born with achromatopsia, a rare vision affliction, she had trouble learning colors, as well as other visual problems. Teachers and doctors only offered discouraging comments about her prospects of a normal life. But God isn’t limited by our limitations. With God’s help, Jeanette graduated from high school, finished college, and enjoys a full, rich life. Want More? Joy, takes an honest look at the things that prevent us from experiencing real joy. Jeanette uses anecdotes, humor, and questions to lead the reader to a greater understanding of the joy busters we face daily. She writes about difficult subjects like forgiveness, hurting others, dealing with handicaps, and worry. Perhaps you think you could be more joyful if you had money, better relationships, or be more successful. Jeanette Hanscome knows that true joy comes from being close to God, trusting Him with your problems. Jeanette even has added room for journaling and a daily prayer page. Want More, Joy is an excellent devotional book for your Need to Read List.
