As a public school teacher, I always look forward to a more leisurely lifestyle during summer. Early mornings find me tending my rose garden before the sun is high. When the heat of the day appears, I enjoy sitting on a shady deck, sipping iced tea and reading favorite books.
Summer reading is different from wintertime.
During the warm months I often read shorter selections, books of poems, inspira tional and humorous texts. Perhaps I save those long novels and deeper works for those long winter nights that begin early. Ms. Johnson, in her original style, offers readers encouragement when life is difficult. This writer helps us learn from life and to endure its problems. Sharing favorite scripture, they tell about the role the Bible has played in bringing them closer to God.
