Author Hope Joy strikes again with her testimonial about moving from depression to joy and hope as a result of a life-threatening illness. But this time, the author includes anecdotes about blessings she experienced during her illness, as well as a workbook for readers to share their own testimony.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 25, 2006 -- Everyone has a story to tell. The question is whether they will tell it. In "Dying to Live: A Call to Joy -- The Power of a Testimony," Author Hope Joy provides her own testimonial about moving from depression and hopelessness to a life of joy and hope. But it took a life-threatening illness for the author to realize that she wanted to live even though she had been praying to die.

The author also includes anecdotes in an addendum to the book that shares some of the blessings she received during her illness. In "Dying to Live: A Call to Joy -- The Power of a Testimony, the author's goal is to show how one can find a blessing in most trying circumstances depending on how they choose to view the situation. Finally, the book challenges and probes the reader with questions that require an honest assessment of their own circumstances and their desire to share their own testimony.

"Dying to Live: A Call to Joy -- The Power of a Testimony is a testament to the power of God to heal and provide hope and joy in the midst of difficult circumstances, and a challenge to the reader to choose joy rather than give in to difficult circumstances and then to share how God used those difficult circumstances to provide healing.
