Intro to Joy

"These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full" (John 15:9-11).

"Though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and...you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory" (1 Peter 1:8).

In this collection of short meditations, Heather Torosyan explores the theme of joy in Scripture and discusses how it applies to our daily lives. This is not an academic treatise, but a study meant to encourage the reader-that you also may be filled with inexpressible, overflowing joy.

Heather Wilson Torosyan was known for her overflowing joy in the Lord and her love for the lost. Heather was born in post-World War II Japan to Bessie, a Canadian missionary, and Jim, a U.S. naval officer who resigned his commission to enter full-time Christian work. Heather, too, pursued missions, serving in Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey before marrying Ararat Torosyan in Istanbul. God blessed them with three children and four grandchildren before Heather was called to her heavenly home to be with her beloved Lord and Savior in 2020.
