A MUST read!
[...]Such a beautiful, heartbreaking and inspiring story! One that is full of hope as Joy walks into her “yes” her calling! To be able to read about the impact of her yes and how it lead to rescues of young girls, empowerment and healing for women. It makes me wonder what the world would look like if we said yes to the things we are called to and if we were quick to say yes and to act even when we feel like resources aren’t there.Already looking forward to read again and share with my friends! <3

SO inspiring!
[...]“Never look back. Praise me and pray.”Wow! I loved this.I’ve heard Joy speak at various conferences and events since she founded New Hope Girls in 2011, and have held a deep curiosity about the work she has done in the Dominican Republic for the last 20 years.Her debut book not only answers questions I’ve had, but also includes beautiful encouragements and words of wisdom that call people to action within their own lives.I would recommend this book, and could see it making a great gift as it was a quick read and would pair so well with one of New Hope’s beautiful bags!!

Life is not fair and justice is doubtful
[...]Had to read in 4 different time slots, just too much to process in one shot.I worked with Joy in the beginnings, i relived the good the bad and the ugly. The girls are precious jewels in the rough as they say. Joy is a gem being polished daily. Tough work tough gal. Only by the Grace of God is survival possible. Each person that has been there to help, thank you. Each sister/friend that works alongside Joy (near and fa) and the girls, may God bless you. For Vidal and the kids – thanks for being you and for sacrificing your Mom time to NHG. You will be rewarded. Praying until you wrestle with God over each girl’s life, is the only way to bring healing – thank you for joining me in this challenge. Thank you Joy for the reminder and for your obedience to God, seeking His wisdom and believing that all things are possible with Him. 🤗
