Because Fiction is a celebration of fiction, but when I had the chance to chat with Felicia Hurd, I couldn't resist. Listen in and see why Count It All Joy is the first (and possibly only) nonfiction book we'll feature here.

People often ask why we go through hard things, but hearing others' stories often helps us learn and grow.
Count It All Joy by Felicia Hurd
Count it all joy! Have you heard these words before? Is that even
possible? How can you count it all joy when life’s challenges are
coming at you, often one right after another, before you have time
to recover from the challenge before? You may have heard the
saying, “count it all joy,” in church for many years. While the
phrase can be difficult to grasp the concept, it is possible in
God’s timing and strength.
In Count It All
Joy, you will see how first-time author Felicia A. Hurd
reveals her account of trials and challenges that shook and
eventually strengthened Felicia’s faith. On this faith journey,
from not trusting God to trusting God and studying His Word,
Felicia has learned to count it all joy, even during trials, while
learning to thank God in advance of the outcome, even if Felicia
disagree with the outcome. God is a good Father, and Felicia has
come to trust and believe that God knows what is needed and
when.
Welcome to the journey of Count It
All Joy ~ Including the Broken Pieces
