Could your past disappointment be the source of your present trouble? Many people are living aimless lives, suffering from depression, anxiety, doubt, cynicism, and fear because of disappointments they have experienced in the past. You may even be affected without realizing it - completely unaware that events that happened long ago are still simmering in the background. But you can find the strength to change the course. In The Art of Joy, Tracey Armstrong skillfully uses the biblical stories of Sarah, the wife of Abraham; and King David, who both defeated pain and disappointment to demonstrate not only how to cope with hurt but also overcome it. Now is the time to break the chains of disappointment and experience a shift in your perspective. Your eyes will open to:

• The fact that God has destined you to win in spite of difficult circumstances
• The telltale signs of unrecognized disappointment and the steps necessary to walk in freedom and purpose
• God's eternal forces of faith, hope, and love and how they are available to you now as a part of his promise
