LORIE HARTSHORN

HOST, THE 700 CLUB CANADA

"In a culture that is facing a joy crisis, Joy Like a Mountain is a must read! In it, Talasi shares with honesty her own experience of finding joy, after years of living without it. Her rich biblical insight engages readers to go with her on a journey of finding intentional joy. Life is like a mountain and joy is the only way to the other side."

BARRY HELM

"Capturing the heart of John Bunyan’s classic, Pilgrim’s Progress, Talasi offers the heartfelt wisdom gleaned from her own journey to those incapacitated and discouraged by a world rife with chaos and uncertainty. Joy Like a Mountain will inspire readers to courageously embrace life’s journey with a joy-filled hope. It is a must-read for this anxiety-ridden generation."

BONNIE Szakacs

"Talasi exposes the lie that joy is based on circumstances and shows practical ways for choosing joy in the journey. She has given me the ability to peer into my own heart and see areas where I have closed myself off from receiving grace and forfeited joy. I will no longer allow perfection and fear to dictate the measure of joy I operate in on a daily basis."
