Renderings Of Encouragement & Inspiration - Hardcover

by Serena M. Johnson (Author)

Renderings of Encouragement & Inspirations is a smorgasbord of various stories, poetry, insights during various stages of my life. The book is broken up into four segments. The first segment is called "Life's experiences" which are true stories about the death of my child, growing up, accepting Jesus, deliverance from smoking, macular degeneration, breast cancer, heart surgery, and how I become a Minister.

The next segment "Through Prose" are poems, written throughout my life. The segment titled "Articles of Inspiration" are short stories and articles written mostly during the time I was editor of our church newsletters. In the last segment are Words from the Lord which I share with others of inspiration and encouragement. May my experiences help comfort you.

We are the parents of three wonderful children, Shawn, Jodi and Cindy and the proud grandparents of Cassidy, Kyran and Mackenzie.While growing up in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Mom and Dad owned two variety stores where I enjoyed working and being a part of the lives of the people who would stop by.
