Splashes of Joy in the Cesspools of Life

Barbara Johnson’s approach to life is positive, uplifting, therapeutic and fun. Barbara Johnson is far from being a cock-eyed optimist–blind to life’s grief and disappointment. In fact, her entire ministry of joy and encouragement began in the “slimy cesspool” of her own pain. She is a clear-eyed optimist. And that’s why her laughter is so infectious and her wisdom rings so true in this joy-giving book, which offers giggles and guidance to help you: shore up a sinking self-esteem; reach the other side of your grief; weather your stress and get rid of your guilt; restore the joys of motherhood; repair broken relationships with your children; learn to live with your illness; cultivate your patience–even when you just don’t think you can; wait; sustain an effective prayer life; make peace with aging–and go for healthy maturity.

“Almost everyone needs a splash of joy to get through the mess, to get cleaned off and get sweetened up–refreshed and ready to go again,” Barbara Johnson says.
