Von der hinteren Coverseite

"The vulnerability and beauty found in these pages will leave you breathless."--Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author of The Broken Way and One Thousand Gifts

As a girl, Alia Joy came face-to-face with weakness, poverty, and loss in ways that made her doubt God was good. There were times when she felt as if God had abandoned her. What she didn't realize then was that God was always there, calling her to abandon herself.

In this deeply personal exploration of what it means to be "poor in spirit," Joy challenges us to embrace true vulnerability and authenticity with God and with one another, showing how weakness does not disqualify us from inclusion in the kingdom of God--instead, it is our very invitation to enter in.


"In a culture that craves presence, and with hearts longing for hope in our darkest hours, Alia Joy is a voice in the wilderness that leads us back home. Her voice is one our generation needs. Her words offer an invitation we can't afford to miss."--Renee Swope, author of the international bestseller A Confident Heart; former radio cohost of Everyday Life with Lysa & Renee, Proverbs 31 Ministries

"Alia Joy writes straight from the heart, holding nothing back. You will quickly think of ten friends who need to read this book. Then you will realize the one who needs it most is you."--Liz Curtis Higgs, bestselling author of Bad Girls of the Bible
