About Ruth
‘For years I thought, “Is this what I’m living for? Doesn’t God have a better plan for me?” My career looked marvellous, but I felt empty and unfulfilled. And always that nagging voice, “Am I doing well enough?” If anyone thought negatively, it was me. I frequently felt really low. When I started the day, I saw the mountain of things I had to do and I dreaded it. I worried about everything. It was really exhausting living like that, and unhealthy too. I experienced burnout.’
Ruth: ‘Over the course of years, I’ve learned to think and speak much more positively, and I’ve found a new perspective. I’ve discovered that God’s joy helps you achieve your destiny!’

This book really makes me glad! Written so honestly and vulnerably. Again I was given wonderful new insights. A deep awareness of the power of joy. A joy that’s not based on my circumstances, but on the riches that lie in being united with God.
