If you could spend a day swapping stories with Patsy Clairmont, Mary Graham, Lisa Harper, Mandisa, Marilyn Meberg, Luci Swindoll, Sheila Walsh, and Lisa Whelchel, these are the stories you would hear. They’re stories of hope . . . redemption . . . and God’s unfathomable love.

And since these women love to laugh, you’ll also find hilarious true-life tales of things that didn’t go exactly as planned—at least, not the way they planned. (God may have planned it that way all along!)

Whenever you need an “encouragement break,” dip into this collection of inspirational and heartwarming stories. Because any time is a good Time to Rejoice.
