Making room for joy

Nicole Zasowski connects anxiety about future hopes with questions of faith, happiness, and celebration. Drawing on her experience as a marriage and family therapist and on her Christian perspective, she considers how fear of disappointment can shape the way people approach joy. The book presents celebration not as a denial of hardship, but as part of spiritual growth, and explores trust in God’s good gifts alongside the struggles life brings. Its guidance centers on challenging assumptions that make happiness feel unsafe and cultivating a more expectant outlook.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians reflecting on how joy and celebration relate to faith
  • Readers interested in personal growth around anxiety, hope, and fear of disappointment
  • Those seeking a spiritually grounded perspective from an author who is also a marriage and family therapist

Book overview

Family therapist Nicole Zasowski challenges you to let go of dwelling in your anxieties and fears and instead ask yourself the question: What if it's wonderful?

These questions haunt many of us, leaving us sick with anxiety and frozen into inaction: what if my hope only leads to disappointment? What if I embrace joy only to have it ripped from my hands? What if my celebration is the cause of others' sadness? What if my joy takes me away from the God I knew so well in my pain? But these fears don't have to control your life.

Author and marriage and family therapist Nicole Zasowski knows what it's like to suffer a blow that makes it difficult to look to the future. Despite the struggle, she found the courage to celebrate, and discovered that God is as present in our joy as He is in our pain.

Yes, God's purpose for us is worked out in our struggles. But what if it is also worked out in our dreams and our delighted joy? In What If it's Wonderful? Nicole helps you:

  • Overcome the fears that keep you from looking toward the future with joy
  • Let go of the lies you've believed about happiness and embrace celebration as a part of spiritual growth
  • Approach life with an expectant heart and courage to trust God's good gifts

With a psychological and spiritual case for celebrating, Nicole challenges you to let go of the habit of practicing disappointment and fully embrace joy, beckoning you to ask yourself a new question: What if it's wonderful?
