Publisher's Synopsis
Does God always do what is best for His children? Joy in Living is the life story of Joy K. Boerop. She was born in the beautiful Lushan Mountains in the interior of China. Growing up in China, Joy experienced the horrors of war during World War II and the Communist takeover in 1949. In 1950 Joy and her parents were expelled from China. Then while living in Europe, she struggled to fit into cultures she did not understand. She was lonely and felt forsaken, but as time went on, she found the answer to her biggest question: is God truly all-sufficient? The answer was a resounding "Yes"! Joy met her husband, Bill Boerop, at the European Bible Institute in Paris, France. Together they served with Youth for Christ International in Belgium. Joy and Bill then immigrated to the United States, where over and over again their faith was challenged and tested. Eventually doors were opened to them for worldwide ministry with World Thrust International, founded by Joy's husband. Laugh and cry with Joy as she shares the overwhelming faithfulness of her Savior, who has given her a life of great joy and fulfillment amidst suffering and adversity. "You will be encouraged and uplifted as you read about the many unusual miracles of God's daily provisions." -Dr. Charles Stanley, Atlanta, Georgia
