He was her knight in shining armor. At least until they married. Joy McClain dated her husband Mark for five years and thought she would have the fairy tale life she dreamed of once the ring was on her finger. But his drinking and anger increased as their family did, and Joy found herself feeling more desperate and alone than ever.
Through song writing, publishing (over 150 short stories, Bible studies and articles), teaching, counseling and public speaking Joy passionately helps women understand their redemptive position in Christ. Joy has a unique call, marrying what women desire to express to words that give them a voice in which to do so. Married for 26 years, 20 of which involved a battle against her husband Mark's alcoholism, she and Mark have four children and live in Greenwood, Indiana.
