"Through the twists and turns of life, more than anyone else I know, Matt has been able to face challenges with an undaunted spirit, an eternal optimism, and a wholehearted trust in his Heavenly Father." -- Jordan Skiff, Director of Public Works - City Administrator of Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin "Despite facing ongoing health battles, Matt has one of the most positive outlooks on life that I know." -- Steve Long, Elder, Elim Mission Church When we are stunned by the suddenness of trials and storms we are often met with a flood of questions. Our questions at first reflect the depth of the hurt, grief, the degree of the confusion and disorientation. Far too often we let the questions lie dormant. We do not reflect on them. We avoid wrestling with them. The result is we neglect an avenue of growth in our inner world. In "Joy for the Journey," Pastor Matthew Miklasz, with his wife Cyndy, offer a rare and honest glimpse into the fears and doubts that can derail faith in God. From nearly losing a child to battling cancer, Matt and Cyndy share their own personal trials, and give readers insights on how to maintain inner joy and peace even in the midst of life's worst circumstances.
