As a young girl, author Joy Buerkle didn’t have a magical upbringing or a lot of happy childhood memories. She didn’t fully know God or God’s character and was often confused, angry, or upset with God. At age twenty-eight, she experienced the deep grief of losing a loved one, and then she suffered pregnancy losses in her thirties. Through these tribulations, Joy grew spiritually and now has a loving relationship with our heavenly Father. In A Journey to Joy, she shares her journey to finding joy and relays her testimony of God’s goodness, grace, and love for mankind. Joy encourages you to see divine intervention through any heartache or tribulations you may be enduring. She prays the Lord provides you with peace, comfort, and strength and surrounds you with an endless amount of love.
What is joy? Is it a fleeting moment of happiness? Is it a gurgle of laughter or an exciting event? No, because those feelings are temporary and while wonderful, don't last.

For the next 30 days, you'll walk on a daily journey that will empower you to create that life of joy you've always desired. It is the perfect companion that provides you, the 3 AM woman, with the tools, support, and prayer that you need to help you become the woman God designed you to be.

It’s 1939, and all across Europe the Nazis are coming for Jews and anti-fascists. The only way to avoid being imprisoned or murdered is to assume a new identity. For that, people are desperate for papers. And for that, the underground needs forgers. In Paris, Sarah, a young Jewish artist originally from Berlin, along with her music teacher and father figure, Mr. Lieb, meet Cesar, a Spanish Republican who knows well the brutality of fleeing fascism. He soon recognizes Sarah’s gift. She will become the underground’s new forger. When the war reaches Paris, the trio joins thousands of other refugees in a chaotic exodus south. In Marseille, they’re received by friends, but they’re also now part of a resistance the government is actively hunting. Sarah, now Simone, continues her forgery work in the shadows, expertly creating false papers that will mean the difference between life and a horrifying death for many. When Mr. Lieb is arrested and imprisoned in Les Milles internment camp, Simone, Cesar, and their friends vow to rescue him, enlisting the help of American journalist Varian Fry, known for plotting the escapes of high- profile people like Andre Breton and Marc Chagall. In this enlightening and thrilling story of war, love, and courage, author Linda Joy Myers explores identity, ingenuity, and the power of art to save lives.
