Fight Back With Joy: Celebrate More. Regret Less. Stare Down Your Greatest Fears.
“When we fight back with joy, we awaken to the deepest reality of our identity as beloved, delightful children of God.” —Margaret Feinberg
Great Joy Waits in Life’s Greatest Battles
Joy is stamped on coffee mugs, sewn onto decorative pillows—even displayed on dish soap. But what if there’s a deeper power and purpose to this mighty virtue?
Through vulnerable storytelling, a difficult diagnosis, and a good dose of humor, Margaret Feinberg reveals how joy is more than whimsy. It’s the weapon you can use to fight life’s battles. Fight Back With Joy will help you:
- Expand your joy threshold by awakening to God’s fierce love for you
- Escape fear and regret by applying biblical strategies to whatever crisis you’re facing
- Overcome depression as you reignite your imagination for laughter and celebration
- Discover freedom from the past by learning how to turn mourning into joy
- Rise above endless demands and become more winsome, cheerful, and thankful
No matter what your circumstances, you can practice defiant joy. When you do, you will embrace a life that’s richer and fuller than you’ve ever known before—a life radiant with joy.

My thoughts:
I am such a huge fan of Margaret Feinberg! She is such an awesomely talented and anointed author. I had the privilege of reading the first 3 chapters of her new book before it’s release and WOW! I cannot wait to read the rest of the book! Margaret’s beautiful spirit is felt when reading this book. Her courage, strength, and joy through a cancer diagnosis is very inspiring. I know this book will transform lives. This book teaches us that no matter what we’re facing – no matter how hard the battle – that we must fight back with joy. Margaret tells us just how powerful joy is during difficulties. I love this quote from the book: “Joy is your heritage, your purpose, your destiny.”

Heartfelt Thoughts & Writings 
Thank you, sweet Angie. So thrilled it’s resonating with you.
So looking forward to reading this book. Thanks for the chance to win a copy. Having been searching for the small group study in my area. Sounds like the kind of study we can all use in facing the trials of life.
Joy is a powerful weapon we often overlook. I should know. I hope to always remember that joy is freely given to us every day for us to live better lives. 🙂
This looks like a great read. I must put it on my reading list.
Thanks for the great book suggestion! I love the term “defiant joy.” In order to truly be joyful, you really do have to go against the grain and act in a way that’s much different than our culture tells us too. 🙂
Hi Angie, Margaret’s book sounds interesting, thanks for introducing it to us.
