Whether you're facing the ordinary, daily pressures of squaring away today's to-do list or an unexpected season of suffering that seems to have no end, sometimes it feels like Jesus's promise of "overflowing joy" is simply not within reach for your real life. But it doesn't have to be that way. By journeying with you through Jesus's words in John 15, author and Bible teacher Tara Dew reveals three surprising paths to a truly joy-filled life. If you're willing to take Jesus up on His teaching, you'll find that God's pruning, God's presence, and God's commands have the power to deliver not just a taste of joy as a fruit God is developing in your life, but an overflowing bushel of it! The question is, are you willing? If so, prepare to experience a truly, fully, and genuinely joy-filled life-no matter the season or circumstance! Tara Dew has loved Jesus for as long as she can remember. She was saved as a child at a Billy Graham crusade and was then called into ministry as a teenager. A few years later, she married her high school sweetheart, Dr. Jamie Dew (current president of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary). Together, they have two sets of twins: Natalie & Nathan and Samuel & Samantha. Tara loves spending time with her family, trying out new restaurants in New Orleans, and teaching women to know and love the Word of God. She is the director of Thrive: A Ministry Wives Certificate Program as well as an adjunct professor of Ministry to Women at NOBTS. Tara is also a contributing author to the book The Whole Woman (B&H Publishing).
