The negative ones:
*That makes you question your faith
*That keeps you from enjoying the fullness of God’s peace, hope, and joy,
*That depletes the spiritual pantry of all the good things God has in store for you
You work hard. You do your best to live by faith and care for those around you. But when you’re living in the “in-between times”—when the natural order of life becomes stressful and wears you down—it can be a challenge to maintain an optimistic outlook each day.
If you’ve felt this way, you’re not alone. God’s people today—and in Jesus’ time—grappled with negative thoughts and circumstances, but faith-inspired answers helped them overcome such thinking.
You, too, can overcome negative thinking and turn your “negatives” into “positives.” Join the author’s journey as she takes you through personal experience stories—hers and others (including scenarios of Biblical characters)—and how each found optimism through God’s goodness and Word.
Just One Good Thing (A Faith-Inspired Recipe for Optimism) will guide you on a 28 day, three-step “recipe” to defeat negativity and face each day with a renewed outlook and faith. Questions for study and self-reflection and a journal application are included.
Be prepared to sit at God’s table of optimism, where you will feast on abundant servings of His peace, hope, and joy!

Notă biografică
Nancy grew up in the mountains of Colorado. She became a desert dweller when she met her husband, a native Arizonan. After retiring as an RN for a skilled nursing facility, Nancy earned a certification to play therapeutic harp music for patients at the bedside. She has a degree in "commercial" Spanish for business and spent a summer in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
She wrote her first poem, "Ode to a Telephone Pole, at age nine. A call to puppet ministry ignited her desire to study ventriloquism and co-write skits with a fellow puppeteer. Later, she became the author of "95 Animals of the Bible" and "44 Animals of the Bible." She has had other stories and devotionals published in Christian periodicals.
Their lives revolve around faith, church, family, friends, her husband's gourmet cooking, perusing the latest recipes for iced coffee, and seeking God's splendor in nature.
They have two daughters (an RN and a professor) and are "Nona" and "Pa" to five grandchildren.

What if you could change your thoughts?
The negative ones:
*That makes you question your faith
*That keeps you from enjoying the fullness of God’s peace, hope, and joy,
*That depletes the spiritual pantry of all the good things God has in store for you
You work hard. You do your best to live by faith and care for those around you. But when you’re living in the “in-between times”—when the natural order of life becomes stressful and wears you down—it can be a challenge to maintain an optimistic outlook each day.
If you’ve felt this way, you’re not alone. God’s people today—and in Jesus’ time—grappled with negative thoughts and circumstances, but faith-inspired answers helped them overcome such thinking.
You, too, can overcome negative thinking and turn your “negatives” into “positives.” Join the author’s journey as she takes you through personal experience stories—hers and others (including scenarios of Biblical characters)—and how each found optimism through God’s goodness and Word.
Just One Good Thing (A Faith-Inspired Recipe for Optimism) will guide you on a 28-day, three-step “recipe” to defeat negativity and face each day with a renewed outlook and faith. Questions for study and self-reflection and a journal application are included.
Be prepared to sit at God’s table of optimism, where you will feast on abundant servings of His peace, hope, and joy!
