Estamos llamados a “estar siempre gozosos” (1 Ts. 5.16). ¿Qué significa esto, y cómo puede ser posible?Todos gastamos mucha energía buscando la felicidad, pero no somos capaces de aferrarnos a ella. Cosas suceden en la vida real, y nuestras circunstancias nos llevan por un viaje de altas y bajas. Entonces, el llamado que nos hace la Biblia a "estar siempre gozosos" parece una locura, y fuera de alcance. Pero no tiene que ser así.Debemos tener gozo, un gozo tan grande que desafíe a este mundo caído. Este gozo no es simplemente felicidad con esteroides; es la seguridad inquebrantable de que el dolor y la pérdida no tienen la última palabra. Es la firme determinación que se manifiesta en cualquier situación para interpretar tanto la bondad como el dolor a la luz de las Escrituras.En Gozo desafiante, Stasi Eldredge, con valentía, sinceridad y vulnerabilidad nos invita a un lugar más allá de la tristeza o la felicidad. Nos muestra cómo mantener una postura desafiante que no niega ni resta importancia a nuestro dolor, sino que se atreve a vivir con una esperanza inquebrantable.

Many women long for a deeper, more experiential relationship with Jesus. They go to church, read their Bible, and pray yet still feel like they know God more in their heads than in their hearts. Shouldn't there be more? In her new book, New York Times bestselling author Stasi Eldredge reveals that Scripture offers a beautiful, intentional progression of intimacy with God. These familiar metaphors—clay, sheep, servant, child, sibling, friend, bride—aren't random images. They're rungs on a spiritual ladder that leads us closer to God's heart. As we understand them, we begin to understand how He invites us to relate to Him. With her signature warmth, biblical depth, and guided prayers, Stasi helps readers: address the heartaches that keep them from drawing closer to God and remove the roadblocks that prevent healing; learn to take prayerful pauses that allow Christ to minister directly to their deepest needs; recognize the difference between knowing about God and experiencing Him personally; identify where they have "learned God wrong" and gently step into learning Him rightly; and discover how spiritual disciplines guide them on the journey of drawing near. For every woman desiring closeness with Jesus or longing to rediscover it, this book offers a path of healing, transformation, and the breathtaking joy of truly knowing God and being deeply loved by Him.
