Reviews of Joyful Faith’s studies

“In the vast sea of Bible studies, I’ve found Joyful Faith studies to stand in a class alone. Taught from scriptures’ wide-angle perspective, every word is knit together to clearly illuminate the truth that sets us free. It challenges and dismantles old thinking that would sabotage and hold us back from our new life in Christ, all motivated by a transcendent compassion that leaves one permanently rejoicing.”

“When I first encountered these studies, I sat bolt upright, heart pounding, mind racing, trying to keep up with the incredibly challenging things I was hearing. Then Joyful Faith’s other studies continued to shake my status quo, shock me out of my stupor, and air-lift me onto a pathway of actually believing God’s radical, life-transforming truth in Christ. That journey just about killed me (oh wait, I think there are scriptures about dying to my old self!). It’s not like its all-done-ding-perfect, but my relationships and my gut reactions to life are so much better I can’t even explain it. It continually blows my mind.”

“Simply stated, Joyful Faith’s studies are the most scripturally comprehensive, the most theologically accurate, and the most life-changing materials I have ever found.”

“Thousands of hours of careful study of the scripture over a period of many years, and hundreds of field tests with everyday people have led Marijo to truths which will bring healing to anyone who engages those truths. I invite you to wrestle with the concepts. Above all take your time, allow the cleansing, and enjoy the journey.” —Earl R. Melin, M.Div. Earl was a theologian, ordained pastor, former schoolteacher and school administrator, and served as a pastoral counselor.

“This blew my doors off. God’s truth was presented in a way my heart could grasp. With compassion, it exposed my strife and envy, the blockages that had prevented God’s grace from flowing through my life. Changing me from the inside out, this study is a real mind-bender and heart-healer.”

“This bold little book holds nothing back in revealing where I was stuck and defeated in my spiritual life. It isn’t for the faint of heart.

“When I first started reading this book it was ho-hum for me; it sounded like elementary scriptural truths I had known since childhood. A friend challenged me to do the study and I agreed thinking, ‘I have a lot to offer with my vast biblical knowledge.’ To my embarrassment and surprise I found that my knowledge was not a living reality in my life. When I started to apply these ‘elementary’ truths, my life began to change dramatically.”

“As a serious Bible student and the wife of a theologian/ pastor, I thought I had the “Christian thing” down pat. I ignored the fact that I didn’t forgive from my heart, or believe God’s promises for difficult people, or really love others as I loved myself. Then I encountered the Joyful Faith studies. These teachings startled me and woke me up to God’s truth that I had not applied in my own life.”

Comments about “The Journey: Steps Along the Way”

“You can count on this study to tenderly come along-side you like a dear and honest friend. Unlike any study before, this offered me a fresh and life-changing perspective on my relationship with other people and with God.”

“I knew this study was different because for the first time I was hearing truth in a language my heart could understand. I could hear hope!”

“These studies are way more in-depth than anything else I’ve encountered. They provide a comprehensive understanding of how to apply God’s truth and actually be set free.”

“These studies from Joyful Faith laid the Scriptural groundwork so clearly that big chunks of my old stinkin’ thinkin’ just washed away. Believing God’s truth is changing me in ways I never thought possible!”

“The audio teaching is unlike any other, drawing you in with sincere compassion and from-the-hip honesty. Directly addressing our heart-level problems, it delivers a clear understanding of God’s glorious answer. It unlocks and lays on the table the “how to” that has eluded us Christians for so long.”

“Having my marriage reconciled is nothing short of a miracle. This teaching was a catalyst that knocked me over and got me seeking, and finally finding the truth that is actually setting me free.”

“My husband and I will be celebrating our 62nd anniversary soon, so I feel somewhat qualified to attest to the truth in this teaching. This biblically-based study pulls together so much wisdom in a pertinent, cohesive, and powerful way. I’ve seen the power of this journey in the lives of women, young and not-so-young, in our study group. It is a powerful study, profoundly effective.”

“As a Bible student, I was amazed at how much I did not know. Far more than just adding knowledge, it showed me how I can be re-created and the active part I need to play in it. A truly life-changing study!”

“For years I wondered when the abundant life in Christ would intersect with my life. In this study I found the pathway into true transformation: healing of wounds, resolution of hidden issues, and joy in the abundance of God’s grace.”

Comments about “Becoming Love-Absorbed”

“For the first time I was able to hear the profound depths and heights of God’s love for us. I sat back with tears on my cheeks, amazed that God created me to share in this astonishing love. Then there were another kind of tears as I realized the ways I had kept God’s Love at a distance. This book started me on the path to saying ‘yes!” from my heart to the incredible love of our Father for all people. Imagine: we were created by Love to love others!”

“This book provided insight into how and why to love a difficult person. My old definition of love did not match God’s agape love and this explained why my relationships kept falling apart. I liked the stories of what love looks like when life is hard. The stories helped me understand how to let God’s love flow through me to others. My life is changing and I’m telling my friends to get this book!”
