Step into a journey of transformation, purpose, and lasting joy through the chapters of 3 Habits for a Joyful Life: Serve, Grow, Share. Author Luz Marino’s book is a Christian personal growth guide that helps readers cultivate purposeful living. It is a heartfelt invitation to rediscover the natural patterns that bring meaning to our lives—serving others, embracing growth, and sharing generously.
At its core lies a simple truth: when we intentionally choose to serve, grow, and share every day, we unlock our true purpose and build a life filled with fulfillment and joy.
“Hello, I am Luz Marino, author of 3 Habits for a Joyful Life: Serve, Grow, Share. Now, you might be wondering: How can just three habits lead to joyful living? The answer lies in the fact that each of us practices habits—sometimes intentionally, sometimes unconsciously. These habits shape who we are and the results we experience.
My book is designed to help both young people and adults rekindle their Christian faith and reconsider what’s truly possible for a happier life.
For young readers, it offers a fresh perspective—one that is not often discussed, but is worth exploring.
For adults, it provides guidance to rediscover and utilize their forgotten gifts and talents with purpose.
In this book, I share my personal journey of faith, transformation, and growth. I show how living with intention and purpose, combined with these three habits, leads to fulfillment and genuine joy. These habits—Serve, Grow, Share—are practiced by everyone, every day. The difference comes when we become conscious of their potential. By practicing them with intention, we open ourselves to new opportunities and a life filled with meaning and happiness.
I believe these faith-based habits are more than routines. They are patterns of behavior designed by our Creator, woven into the fabric of every human life. When we practice them intentionally, they become effortless expressions of our faith. These habits, when practiced purposefully, are keys to personal growth, leadership, and lasting fulfillment. Then, it is vital to understand their potential.
3 Habits for a Joyful Life: Serve, Grow, Share proposes that:
- When we serve—at home, at work, at school, or in our communities—we create opportunities to grow and develop as leaders, especially when we act with intention.
- As we grow—physically, mentally, and spiritually from birth onward—the intention we bring to our growth enables us to use our gifts and talents purposefully, leading to accomplishments that satisfy our hearts, souls, and minds.
- Every day, we share—a smile, a kind gesture, our time, knowledge, resources, and even the air we breathe, a gift from the Creator. We share experiences and leave a legacy for those we love, impacting everyone around us and beyond. Its impact multiplies when we add intention and purpose to this natural habit of sharing.
In Summary,
3 Habits for a Joyful Life: Serve, Grow, Share is more than a book—it is an invitation to live with intention and purpose.
By embracing these three habits, we unlock the potential for true joy and fulfillment. Both in our own lives and in the lives of those around us. Whether you are young and searching for direction or an adult seeking to rediscover your gifts, these habits offer a path to personal growth, leadership, and lasting happiness.
When we serve, grow, and share with purpose, we reflect the Creator’s design. Therefore, we can experience the abundant life we are meant to live. I hope that my book inspires you to practice these habits consciously. They will be opening doors to new opportunities and a deeper sense of meaning every day.”

Meet the Author
Luz Marino is a Christian author, speaker, and faith-based mentor who is passionate about helping others find joy by serving with their God-given talents, growing through challenges, and sharing with purpose. Her writing blends personal experience with biblical truth to inspire transformation and healing.
Luz is also a lifelong Bible student and storyteller whose life has been shaped by faith, service, and a calling to witness. Her journey as an author began with a heartfelt decision to share the transformative power of the word of God in her own life. That calling came to fruition in 2024 with the publication of her debut book, 3 Habits for a Joyful Life: Serve, Grow, Share—a practical and spiritual guide rooted in personal testimony and biblical truth.
For over a decade, Luz faithfully served as a church member and volunteer with The Salvation Army in Kearny, New Jersey, where she cultivated a deep commitment to community and ministry.
Furthermore, in December 2018, during a Christmas service at the Salvation Army Chapel in Evanston, Illinois, a pivotal moment came to her as she listened to a sermon drawn from 1 John 1: 1–4. Luz had experienced a divine response and an unmistakable affirmation of the message and structure for her book.
Moreover, that spiritual revelation reignited a promise she had made years earlier: to witness for the Lord through her words and life.
