About the Book
The alarm rings. You hit snooze, roll over, and mentally try to shut down the pop-up, to-do list. Another week begins.
"How do I reboot the daily grind? How can I refresh not only my body but also my inner self? Maybe there's more to it than occasional yoga or steeper treadmill inclines?"
Granted, no matter how full your life is, sometimes its purpose stagnates. There's an inner void often neglected. Why not try God? Who is this mysterious being that some people worship while others curse?
Bring your doubts, assumptions, and questions. Consider evidence for God in nature, history, and experience through Trinity. With vivid transparency Joyce Long shares personal observations, stories, and biblical examples that address struggles we sometimes wonder if God sees and cares about.
Discover how God's triune nature--Creator-Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit--can work in your life so that you can transcend the shallow and mature in love, forgiveness, and peace.

Review :
As I read Trinity, I felt as though I were taking a walk with God. He is holding my hand, arms around me, guiding my steps, forgiving my missteps, always with me. His loving embrace is evident in the deeply felt words from Joyce's heart. Well-written and easily read!--John Matthew Walker, author of Tiny Blush of Sunlight
Filled with rich, thoughtful prose, Trinity is a must-have for any nonfiction book collection. Joyce's first-hand experience in the Holy Land heightens each heartfelt chapter, and I am pleased to have read it.--Michele Israel Harper, author of Wisdom & Folly: Sisters
In her book, Trinity: Walk in Love, Forgiveness and Peace, Joyce does a masterful job of weaving together scripture, theology, research and her own personal stories and reflections. It is a book that stirs both the heart and mind in its refreshing light on the beautiful relationship of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.--Nathan Cecil, Executive Director, Center for Global Impact
In reverence of God's divine love for us, Joyce opens the door for readers to ask the tough heart and faith questions. With beautifully written adventures of her overseas missions to everyday relationships, Trinity is an expression of a servant's heart.--Mrs. J. Young, children's author and teen novelist: Tea for You and Me; The Blue Diamond Box
Joyce's writing always shows her love for God's grace and mercy, and her desire to share it with her readers. She weaves personal stories with God's Word to emphasize Biblical truths. These stories and the searching questions at the end of each chapter will make a great Bible Study for anyone who opens the cover.--Jane Bowman, author, painter, poet
No other book introduces people to the triune God as personally as Trinity: Walk in Love, Forgiveness, and Peace. A perfect book for small groups, Trinity's discussion questions invite reflection that help readers explore faith in its rawest form.--Janet Hommel Mangas, weekly columnist for the Daily Journal
One of the greatest challenges facing anyone who undertakes the task of communicating the truth about God, is to take the complexities of an infinite God, in this case the reality of His triune nature, and make it something that is understandable and clear. But Joyce Long, in a casual, conversational and comforting style does exactly that in her excellent book, Trinity: Walk in love, Forgiveness and Peace. Through the use of personal and conventional illustrations, combined with clear biblical truth, she is able to help her readers understand the reality of one God existing in three persons: Father, Son and Spirit. Not as a theological concept but as a comforting certainty that provides depth, security and joy to the Christian life. In the foreword of the book, Joyce makes the statement that she is not a theologian. I would beg to differ. If the definition of a theologian is "a person versed in theology," then Joyce fits that description. Not in the stereotype of a professor in the classroom, but in the reality of someone who knows and walks with God in a personal, intimate and practical way. Perhaps the best thing that I can say about this book is that reading it made me feel a closer and more personal connection to God as well as a deeper appreciation of His presence and work in my life.--Chris Philbeck, Senior Pastor, Mount Pleasant Christian Church, Greenwood, IN
