LONGWOOD, FL-Irish-born author Joyce Donovan has seen her share of setbacks. From surviving a shipwreck during World War II, to fighting with a willful obstinacy against life-threatening health issues, to setting up home 16 times in six different countries, her life was full of tragic and chaotic happenings. Through it all, Donovan lived to see miracles in her own life as well as the lives of others, documented in her book Grasping the Nettle: A Story of Courage, Joy and Victory (paperback, 978-1-60034-870-9).
Included in the narrative are heartwarming anecdotes that will make you laugh and cry at Donovan's frank accounts of life with her husband and their three children as well as her touching determination to survive and believe against all odds. Donovan believes her book will provide tools for inspiration, hope, encouragement for the journey of life, a stronger prayer life, and trust in God.
Gifted spiritually with a wealth of Christian experience from a very young age, Donovan became a minister of healing and deliverance for many years with her husband, Ted. Grasping the Nettle demonstrates the same kind of real, relevant faith she displays to churchgoers in her ministry one that challenges the complacency and darkness of our world. Reading through her struggles and victories will inspire readers to build a relationship with God.
Joyce Donovan graduated from the "university of life." She was used in the healing and deliverance ministry together with her husband, Ted, for many years. They are the parents of three children.
