Dear Friend,

I want to thank you personally for being a valued partner in the ministry of Living on the Edge. Your faithful generosity is doing more than you may realize—it’s transforming lives and bringing true, lasting joy to people around the world.

Every week, we hear powerful stories of impact: families reconciled, pastors strengthened, young people discovering their identity in Christ, and believers deepening their walk with God. Behind every story is someone like you who chose to invest in this mission. 

In a culture overwhelmed by anxiety, uncertainty, and spiritual confusion, your giving is shining the light of God’s truth into some very dark places. And something remarkable is happening: people aren’t just finding peace; they’re discovering joy in the midst of hardship.

That’s why I’m excited to share something special with you. Chip’s newest book, I Choose Joy,  is a message born out of years of pastoral experience and scriptural conviction. In it, he reminds us that joy isn’t the same as happiness. It’s not based on how we feel or what we’re going through; it’s rooted in God’s goodness, His sovereignty, and His promises. Your circumstances plus your perspective equals your experience. 

Often, our emotions drive our responses. When things are good, we’re good. But when life is hard, we spiral. Chip asks an important question: What if joy isn’t just possible during tough seasons—what if it’s essential? 

We want you, one of our most committed partners, to be among the first to preview this powerful new message. That’s why we’re sharing the first chapter with you today, free of charge and full of hope. Whether you’re in a challenging season or just in need of fresh encouragement, we believe it will speak to your heart.
