WHAT A JOY!

Pastor Johnson does a GREAT job of giving the reader an in depth and honest view of how the Lord turns weeping into great JOY! She is candid in the way in which she shares her faith journey and the process through which she's found Joy in Pastoring. What a blessing it is to find such honest and interesting conversations from within a Pastor's heart. What a blessing to the body of Christ this "Woman of God" truly is!

A Must Read!!!

This book is a must read especially for female ministers, pastors, and seminary students. Pastor Johnson peels back the layers and if I may, shows us the "let's be real" of ministering. Pastor Johnson shows us how to be an effective minister and leader. One learn to lead by serving and Pastor Johnson has a servant's heart. God is the joy and strength of Pastor Johnson's life. God gives to her and she gives to others!
