Joy Full

Today's teenage girl needs to understand and embrace the difference between a life controlled by joy and one driven by happiness. Well-loved author and speaker Chandra Peele in her new release Joy[Full], helps teen girls learn how to trade temporary material happiness for an everlasting eternal joy. Through this six-week study of Philippians, the myths and pressures of today's culture are replaced with scriptural truths that help girls learn how to truly embrace Christ. Using personal stories and contemporary language, this study will also help shape girls as the future spiritual leaders God intends them to be. Through this study, today's teenager and college-bound girls will learn how to live, give, and light up the world around them through their personal relationship with God.

She has been endorsed by pastor and author Max Lucado; nationally known youth speaker David Nasser; Stan Lee, founder of Dare 2 Run Ministries; and many other ministers of youth who have invited Chandra to minister to their youth.Using a high-energy, zany approach, she motivates, encourages, and equips teens to live a lifestyle of holiness.
