A Legacy of Joy Joyce J. Ashley

Is it possible to be joyful always as the Bible instructs? Joyce Ashley gives an honest, transparent glimpse into the life of a busy wife, mom, and now, over-joyed grandmother as she shares some of the joy-lessons she has learned through her personal experiences. She reminds us that happiness is not the same as joy. Happiness depends on our circumstances; joy is the confident assurance that God is with us in all situations. This book was lovingly written with the author's family in mind. However, the insight she shares should encourage every reader to pray for, strive toward and accept the abundant joy that is freely ours through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Journey with Joyce and catch her vision for leaving "A Legacy of Joy" which can be passed down from generation to generation. Joyce and husband, Patrick, live in Wray, GA. In their 41 years of marriage, they have raised three children and are immensely enjoying their roles as Gigi and Papa to six blessings she likes to call grandjoys. Joyce is the founder of JoyJoy Ministries. Her vision and passion is to share a double portion of God's joy through her writing, radio programs, ladies' events, as well as the daily opportunities of life! Joyce enjoys ministering with Team RADIATE as they encourage women of every age and stage of life to "shine like stars in the universe". (Philippians 2:15) "Joyce Ashley's A Legacy of Joy is a beautiful reminder of what true joy is and how it can be a treasured legacy for your family and friends. It is also page after page of Holy Spirit conviction of Jesus' desire for us to live the abundant life." Kimberly Hutchens, Women's Speaker, Personal assistant to Babbie Mason
