About the book
I would like to reference letters from Rev. India Marable of Brooklyn who
stated: "I could not put down Joy Cometh In The Morning after I started
reading it." Also, Rev. Lenox Luncheon of Arverne, new York, stated: "I
found Joy Cometh In The Morning to be a source of inspiration and an encouragement
to me, as it pertains to my own endeavors as an author."
Excerpts:
The Bible reminds us that the symbols of the cross and resurrection
testify to the faith and hope that suffering can issue new life. (pp 26)
Even in the dark edges of human existence when God's very presence seems
profoundly hidden from us and we rail at Him for not apparing to be on
top of things, we could still discover His immanent, tender presence, operative
in our midst. (pp 27)
Even though we might at times be rendered powerless to change the way
our world spins, it is entirely within our power to change the direction
we are facing - regardless of the way this unwilling world may turn. The
decision to look to the Source from which our help comes will change the
world for us, because it changes our relationship with the world. (pp 48)
No matter how dark days might appear, the redemptive impulse of God
remains present and operative in human life. (pp 114)
