I Get Joy When I Think About This JOY!

Victoria Christopher Murray has done it again! JOY, her second serving of "spiritual food for the hungry soul" has secured her spot as not only a top Christian novelist but as a mainstream author as well. Her writing style is smooth, believable, and engaging from start to finish.Anya Mitchell and Braxton Vance's relationship is flawed from the beginning, but--between the two of them--their love for each other and the Lord seems resilient enough to carry them through. However, during the course of their story, circumstances that could break even the strongest of Christians come their way. These fiery trials test their faith in God and each other. Anya fights to hold on to her fiance, her business, her integrity and, sometimes, even her sanity while striving to be an example to her newly divorced cousin Sasha who has only one use for men and no use for God. JOY will have you swiftly turning the pages to discover the outcome of Anya's latest battle. You will savor every morsel of this satisfying story that is filled with drama, intrigue, and emotions that are intense and realistic. En-JOY!

EXCEPTIONAL!!!!

If you read Temptation by Ms Murray, then you already know how well she can incorporate a message of christianity into fiction and not be preachy.In Joy, you will not be disappointed. From page one, you are captiviated by the plights, the trials and tribulations of Anya and Braxton. A Christian couple engaged to be married, but it appears they may be unequally yoked and that could affect their relationship.Throw in a little mystery (stalker) and a few distractions (handsome co-worker), some family issues (Madear and Sasha) and you have a great novel that will keep you turning the pages, neglecting everything else you need to do. Scriptures sprinkled throughout the book that Anya relied on, can help anyone overcome obstacles they find in their way during their walk with God. This book I highly recommend.

All things work for the good of those that love HIM!!!

Victoria has done it again! This is a phenominal book, written in true exellence!!!!! Once again,as with Temptation, I was up until the wee hours of the night unable to put this book down. This book tested my faith and encouraged my faith! This book reminds us that we never know how faithful we are until we have to be faithful. This book brings scripture to life and shows us, God can use any situation or circumstance for His Glory!

Absolutely Phenominal............

As if we didn't know Ms. Murray's level of talent with her first novel, Temptation...........JOY absolutely grabs you from page one, as it commands your attention front and center stage. Filled with such emotion and depth, JOY, is a story about Anya Mitchell and Braxton Vance, a young couple engaged to be married and walking by faith in God's hands. Soon, their faith is put to the test by something so imaginable, it leaves the reader wondering exactly what they would do given the same set of circumstances. As the story unfolds, both Anya and Braxton begin to see that perhaps they each have varying degrees of faith and belief in what's right versus what's best and each must make some decisions that will ultimately affect the rest of their lives.Breathtakingly suspenseful, bold yet heartfelt, Ms. Murray brings forth a story and characters so well developed and full of life, you'll always remember you've just read a work of art!This one's a drama filled page turner at it's best.............
