Look through the lens of God’s perspective and love the life you see.
We all walk through seasons when joy plays an unwelcome game of Hide and Seek. Disappointment, worry, and adversity blur our lens on life, sabotaging our ability to develop the meaningful relationships we long for and realize our worth in Christ.
Finding Joy When Life is Out of Focus will help you choose contentment regardless of circumstance, transform faulty thought patterns through the truth of God’s Word, and persevere when life is unraveling.
Experienced individually or in small groups, this Study of Philippians for Joy-Thirsty Women includes dynamic teaching, inspiring personal stories, opportunities for life-growth, and a guide for leaders.
Joy-thirsty women, are you ready to pull your joy out of hiding? Start looking through the grace-crafted lens of God’s perspective – you’ll love the life you see!
Is it possible to have true joy in the midst of tough times? I’ve personally wrestled with this question and Angela has too. It’s from that place of struggle turned strength that Angela beautifully points us to our ultimate Source of lasting joy no matter what circumstance we might face.

When we pray, the Lord may change our circumstances or change us in the circumstances. Angela Donadio’s powerful and insightful walk through Paul’s letter to the Philippians focuses on the latter. The Apostle wrote from prison where his circumstances weren’t changing—yet his letter to the Philippians shares the joy of who he is, who he is with and the place he’s in. Finding Joy When Life is Out of Focus will help you to do the same as the Apostle. I highly recommend this book.

Angela Donadio shows us that joy isn’t a treasure lying on the surface to be lightly picked up and pocketed. Instead, she takes us deep into the truths of Philippians, mining sparkling nuggets of joy as we go.

I absolutely LOVED this Bible study. Angela has a powerful way of unpacking the Word and thoughtfully asking the hard questions that ultimately help bring our lives back into focus. She constantly challenged me to go deeper into the understanding and truths of Philippians and how I, too, can find fullness of joy in the midst of my own disappointments, hurts, failures and struggles AND keep it. This was a life-transforming study for me and I am certain it will do the same for you as your lens and perspectives change.
