Nicole Zasowski
Author and marriage and family therapist Nicole Zasowski knows that it’s difficult to trust joy and find the courage to celebrate when you have endured seasons of disappointment and despair. When God has been your faithful anchor in the storm, does joy then leave you unmoored? Nicole reminds us that we can stay tethered to the hope of Christ in seasons of celebration, because even joyful days hold the learning, growth, and intimate encounters with Jesus that our hearts crave.
“I was sure that celebration always came with a catch, so I
became practiced in praying for the miracle while preparing to
mourn and dreaming while rehearsing disaster,” says Zasowski
in her Bible study, Daring Joy.
Yet, she discovered that her method of self-protection came at a
cost.
“I realized that much of the loss I had experienced in my life was
not only the grief and disappointment itself, but also the joy I
overlooked because I was too afraid to embrace it,” she writes.
Daring Joy takes a fresh approach to studying six familiar
women in the Bible—Eve, Sarah, Miriam, Mary the mother
of Jesus, Elizabeth and Mary Magdalene—understanding
their stories in relationship to the human experience and
God’s heart for our joy.
Readers will find that God’s Word shows us time and again
that the joy of the Lord has nothing to do with current
circumstances and everything to do with who He is and who we are in Him. And that joy can never be taken away.
