Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing — Update 2
Welcome to my latest published work! It is the culmination of almost two decades of writing, beginning with compilations of poetry that morphed into aired radio spots, that grew into audio devotions pod-casted abroad and online and the beginning of the Joy in Verse Ministry to praise God, promote Christian poetry, and point to Jesus.
From the book:
“Prologue
Welcome to a different style of devotional, based on insights from my poetry with related scriptural context. It is a compilation of prose, poetry, and prayer designed to draw the reader closer to the Lord. Each devotion includes a personalized description with the associated spiritual application, a poem, and a prayer. I encourage you to write your personal prayer at the end of each one. Cherish your time in Scripture as you read the passages and ask the Holy Spirit how He would have you pray.
“As you go through the devotions, your prayer life and your love for the Lord will deepen. When you finish the book, you will have a legacy of prayers.
“As you read the poetry, you will gain insight into my testimony and how the ashes of my missteps are the material from which God created beauty and nurtured healing in my life. You will see God at work to heal and restore. I pray the prayers you create will do the same for you. Onward and upward on your journey! – Joy S. Taylor, Author” (Taylor, Joy S., Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing, 2026, Lily of the Valley Publishing Services, Indiana, Introduction Section.)
Come and join me on this journey of God’s healing. May a piece of my past lead you to a better future through God’s intervention.
