“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” – Habakkuk 3:17-18

The Truth About Joy

Book 2 of the Fruit of the Spirit series!

Pursuing joy, or discovering joy in pursuit of Jesus?

Forget about the girl-boss shtick. All Renata Ramos wants is marriage and a brood of kids, a longing stirred by emails from her cousins in Brazil. Routinely marrying, having babies, and generally joyful, they leave Renata feeling life is passing her by. The bright spot is her job at the elephant sanctuary, where the arrival of an orphaned calf sparks a sweet connection that reminds her how much love she has to give.

So when realtor Colby enters her life—charming, successful, liked by everyone—the answer to her prayers looks right on time.

But as their relationship deepens, Renata senses unease she pushes aside, convinced God brought them together.

As her small compromises add up, and Colby’s narcissism grows harder to ignore, she must confront a painful question: Is she holding onto him because he’s God’s will… or because she’s afraid to let go?
