Overview
Disappointments, loss, rejection, betrayal, sickness... Every hardship intended to destroy me and keep me from the fullness of God's intentions for my life, has in time been used to deepen my love for Jesus and expand my at times wavering faith. As a result I've experienced a level of love and faith I would not have known had I not walked through the dark places that would ultimately make His light shine most brightly in my life.
It would be here, in my darkest hours, that I would find His most beautiful treasures. Riches I will forever hold close in my heart. It is with this belief, that I have chosen to write this devotional book. It is my hope that as I share my own personal stories and endeavor to uncover and expose the enemy's lies, that the love and faithfulness of Jesus will be revealed and that God's story will be displayed in mine.
I've included 40 devotionals. I selected this number because "40 days" in the Bible often referred to a time of challenge that led to spiritual growth. As you begin your 40-day journey, you will see there are five parts to every devotion: A story with scripture; a place for you to journal reflections, a prayer of submission and trust, a commitment to obedience and action; and an invitation to worship and hear God in a way you may not have before.
Full color photos from my travels throughout the States and abroad can also be found between each chapter, giving the reader the delight of a coffee table book experience.
It is my hope that my journey to the highest mountaintops and through the deepest of valleys would remind you that, "Yes! You CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens you!"

About the Author
Born and raised in Texas, Joani's love for the Arts began at the age of 3 when she took her first dance class. Leading roles in school musicals, vocal ensembles, and dance team activities were merely steps to pursuing a degree in dance and theatre education from Stephen F. Austin State University.
Joani moved to Arizona in 1987 where she had a "Damascus Road" encounter with Jesus that radically changed her life. In 1992 Joani joined the staff at Word of Grace Church (a 4000+ member congregation), where she became a licensed/ordained Pastor and Director of the departments of Creative Service Programming and Theatrical Arts. While serving at Word of Grace, Joani launched a Theatrical Arts Department and Creative Arts School which eventually supported an attendance in excess of 250 students per semester; produced, directed, wrote and co-wrote multiple stage productions; toured multiple productions internationally (including Turkey, Argentina, Brazil...), and led hundreds of artistic expressions for public worship services.
Joani is a writer, author, editor, vocalist, and actress, playing a major role in the movie, "Forevermore, the Karla Faye Tucker story." Joani has addressed a wide range of people at conferences, seminars, retreats, weekend services, schools, as well as taught at Saddleback Purpose Driven Church Worship Conference in California, the National Gathering Worship Conference held in Phoenix, Arizona, as well as women's gatherings and out-of-state retreats.
During her 30 years of ministry, Joani functioned not only as a Pastor for Word of Grace, but also as the Worship and Arts Pastor for City of Grace Church. She also served on the Executive Team as Pastor of Central Ministries which included oversight of the Hillsong Ministry School, interns, children and youth ministries for three different campuses. When City of Grace became Hillsong Phoenix, Joani continued her Pastoral duties for two more years utilizing her unique abilities to develop and empowering leaders and volunteer teams.
In 2017 Joani was diagnosed with breast cancer. but also her stepping away from her staff position to launch an Arts School on multiple church campuses. Throughout this journey her faith and trust in Jesus never wavered and as of 2018 Joani has been declared cancer free!
It is Joani's passionate desire that God would use her every trial and hardship, her every battle and victory to inspire others to realize their potential in Christ.
