Beverly Black Johnson joins us on Wine About Books

Taken from Gumbo For The Soul Publications website

Beverly Black Johnson conceived Gumbo for the Soul Publications in November 2003. She originally wanted to produce strictly inspirational anthologies but the concept lacked depth and originality. "I needed something that addressed the concerns of the community", commented Ms. Johnson. "I remembered how some of our church youth struggled to read, and the child held back a grade that used to come over after school with my kids to study at our kitchen table. When I looked into the literacy problems that plaqued our youth, I found an alarming 50% high school drop-out rate!" Beverly redirected her plans aiming the vision's focus on literacy. It didn't take long to realize Gumbo's first of a series of anthologies that would speak to the concerns of the community. Focusing on humanitarian issues like education, health and spiritual wellness, Gumbo for the Soul Publications is paving its own path having released three books with several more underway. Enlightening the community is one of Beverly's many passions shared through informative and interactive community 

workshops.

Author CJ Domino, The Games People Play

If a reality T.V. show could be created with one book, this book would win hands down.  The Games People Play hosts characters that pull you in from page 1 and keep you wanting more with each page. Let me give you the synopsis "When people look Mercedes' life this is what they see: a picture-perfect couple living fabulously. But behind closed doors, it's another story as she struggles to maintain the status quo glory. With bitches on her left and ho's on her right, it's a constant fight trying to remain a glamorous trophy wife. Sex, lies and alibis keep them together, but what's done in the dark will never last forever. "

Day 5, Belief, The Journey Continues, Garth Voisin

"To believe in ourselves is powerful. To doubt what we are capable of renders us powerless"

Day 5, Belief

Belief, in my opinion, is the first step in achieving any goal in life.  It gives your inspiration, it gives you hope, if  gives you strength, it gives you power. Belief is what it takes to move to the next level. Belief is the eyes of the vehicle that drives you to your goals.


Garth's The Journey Continues inspires us to use the many thoughts and inspirational tools to get us to that next level.
