Hope Joy – Hope Joy was raised by her grandparents. Went to college in Pennsylvania and then on to law school in Washington, D.C. She has practice law for 18 years. Even though she was raised as a Christian, she did not always follow the “straight and narrow path” until God got tired of her playing around and wanted her undivided attention. Her illness got her attention. She says it has been the best thing that happened to her because it taught her that JOY is an acronym for “Jumping Outside of Yourself”. Hope Joy is the author of Dying to Live: A Call to Joy which provides encouragement for those suffering through difficult, debilitating and life-altering circumstances that make them want to give up on life.
