Customer Reviews

Enjoyable!

I loved this book. It has short stories followed by a bible verse. Great for daily devotions. I have given out 2 of these.

Absolutely Excellent!

If you are having a bad day, this is definitely the book to read. There's no way that you can read it and not laugh!! These women are incredible. Just reading one chapter a day gives you enough encouragement to tackle any obstacle you may have going on in your life. If you want something inspirational, light-hearted, and loving, this is the book for you.

It's okay to have fun!

"Joy Breaks", by Patsy Clairmont, Barbara Johnson, Luci Swindoll and Marilyn Meberg dramatically changed my outlook on life! I was going through a season of depression. I couldn't escape the torment I was living in day after day. After attending the first Women of Faith conference, I picked up a copy of "Joy Breaks". These four wonderful and zainy ladies (to whom I am forever indebted) taught me how to find humor in every day experiences and encouraged me to find reasons to laugh. My entire perspective on life has changed. I now understand and know that the Lord truly is the joy of my strength! If you are ready to start living life--and enjoying it--consider taking "Joy Breaks" for a spin!

Makes a wonderful gift

I really enjoyed the way this book was laid out. The authors have unique writing styles, but very friendly, as if they were speaking directly to you. Each devotion is short enough to squeeze into a corner of your day. However, I found myself reading two or three at a time. I liked it so much I bought another copy as a Secret Sister gift!

Delightful stories to enrich every woman's life.

The stories in Joy Breaks are expecially applicable to everyday life in 1999. All women can relate to the wonderfully written short stories that the authors present. They obviously have a terrific sense of humor as well as deep rooted faith in God. The best part is that the stories are short enough to read one quickly with a cup of coffee or a soda, then pick up again the next day.
