Count It All Joy!

by Debra Haggins

Overview

Some sermons are forged out of the crucible of a preacher’s spirit. This first literary offering by Debra Haggins is a powerful testimony of how God can take one’s life, shape it, mold it and anoint it with fire from on high. Offered as a collection of sermonic stories, this gift from the mind and the belly of this preacher is for everyone who has ever had to wrestle with disappointment and depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem and the burden of an unfulfilled life. Debra Haggins has written so that readers can find themselves within the context of one’s own personal lived experience. This book is written to inspire and encourage readers of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and genders to stay positive in the midst of life’s vicissitudes and to count it all joy!
