Abundant Joy Juice

When a book is used by God to be a part of your rescue, you never forget it or the author. This happened after losing a parent to suicide. I bought No Mountain Too High and read it fully without putting it down. God used three authors during that time in addition to His WordDr. David Jeremiah, Dr. Ike Reighard, and Pam Mann! Pam told her story and because she made it to the other side of grief upon grief, I knew that I could too. Having the privilege of then getting to know her personally, I can say that her writing is genuine and authentic to who she is and that she is a living testimonynot just a written one. I am beyond excited to continue reading with the release of this new book. I am a life that was changed. ~Leigh~

"When you hear Joyce speak, it's as if each word is about to burst forth in a melody of joy. You feel that melody as you read her book, too. Joy Juice will encourage you and make you want the contagious joyful spirit she has because of Jesus." B J Funk, author of The Dance of Life "It's no wonder that Joyce would write on the subject of biblical joy. It exudes from her life, and she has put her journey into words so that we can also discover and maintain a life of joy." Micca Campbell, author of An Untroubled Heart Joyce Ashley is a retired teacher/school counselor who felt led by God to pursue a ministry that would spread a double portion of His joy into the lives of others. JoyJoy Ministries reaches out to women of all ages who are seeking peace and joy. An expansion of her ministry is a daily radio program called "JOY JUICE." The program was so well received that God touched Joyce's heart to put some of the devotional messages into book form...thus Joy Juice, the book was birthed.

When you hear the words “you only have two years to live,” you are made to pay attention. Facing this brevity of life, Claire realized how much of it had been experienced with Jesus by her side. He took her from a quiet, sheltered upbringing in England to a life that has spanned three continents. Simultaneously, Claire has seen his hand in her roles as wife, mum, and pediatric nurse. Her career specialized in palliative care nursing, focusing on making the best quality of life possible whilst living with a life-limiting illness. Little did Claire know that she, too, would be in the same boat. Claire has been made to contemplate what is important and why relationships are at the core of her existence. She recognized how each member of her immediate family has been through their own harrowing escapes from death. Twice Claire found herself in the same situation. Entwined with these stories are lessons learned from the very patients Claire helped to care for and lessons of love, brightness, hope, and a future. Claire finds herself daily contemplating the same existence in hopes of mimicking even a little of what she has learned. Claire couldn’t but write it down and bring you Joy, Juice, and Jesus.

• Shows how to relate to and receive help from the elements, reconnect with nature to access abundance and joy, connect with plants, animals, water, air, and fire • Explores don Alberto’s upbringing in a family of yachaks, his initiation, and his personal work to fulfill the Andean prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor • Includes reflections and essays from several of don Alberto’s students and others who have worked with him, including Itzhak Beery and John Perkins Recognized as a master yachak, don Alberto Taxo was a celebrated spiritual elder, shaman, and healer of the pre-Inca Atik (Kichwa) people from the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. He shared ancient Andean shamanic wisdom and practices in the United States for more than 20 years--his personal quest to fulfill the Andean prophecy that the Eagle and the Condor will fly together in the same sky in harmony. Written with don Alberto’s permission and as further fulfillment of the Eagle-Condor prophecy, this book shares don Alberto’s teachings and his simple approaches for building a reciprocal relationship with nature, centered on Sumak Kausay, the way of joy and abundance. As a yachak, a shaman of the elements, don Alberto showed how to relate to and receive help from nature. When we are connected with nature on an emotional and spiritual level it creates joy that is deeply healing and can be accessed during life’s difficulties. The book discusses traditional Ecuadorian shamanic beliefs and practices, including Andean Inca cosmology; how to connect with plants, animals, air, fire, and water in sacred springs, the ocean, or your shower; and Inca concepts like Pacha, the space-time era in which we live that is now transitioning to a new one of connection and love after 500 years. The book explores don Alberto’s upbringing in a family of yachaks, his initiation, and his assumption of the role of shaman for his community. It also includes reflections and essays from don Alberto’s students and others who have worked with him, including shamanic teachers Itzhak Beery and John Perkins, showing how he influenced their lives and awakened them to the path of Sumak Kausay, Abundant Life.
