Stick a Geranium in Your Hat and Be Happy: Pain is Inevitable but Misery is Optional

That's what Barbara Johnson calls the encouraging feedback she has received over the years from readers whose lives have been impacted by the message of this million-copy bestseller. If you need a fresh breath of joy in your life, this book is just the prescription for you.

With the wit of an Erma Bombeck, Barbara Johnson helps you to look for "life's little sparkles," even in the midst of your most crippling sorrows. No stranger to suffering herself, Barbara's experiences have equipped her with the credentials to help others work through their own suffering. In spite of her difficulties, Barbara has learned that while pain is inevitable to us all, we can choose to pick the flowers instead of the weeds.

Barbara will teach you how to release that bubble of joy within you—to claim God's promise to "fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy." —Job 8:21 (TLB)
