Barbara Johnson continues to share her life with us. Despite major family crises through the years, or maybe because of them, she has learned how to face serious life events with humor and faith. If you haven't read Barbara before, you can start with this book. It isn't a theologic treatment, but when you are in the midst of either tradgey or life, this book contains the gas to keep you going in the right direction.

I have breast cancer with metastatic brain mets, so I can identify with Barbara Johnsons's brain tumor experiences. I loved the book, it made me laugh and was a real pick up. I found it lighthearted and motivational. I recommend it for any cancer survivor.

This is a wonderful "pick me up" book. Barbara Johnson focuses on the problems of life but also gives you solutions for them. She makes the biggest problems have a silver lining. This is a must have book.

I laughed out loud SO many times and would tell anyone to buy this book!!!! I have suffered a brain tumor also and can say she makes me feel so hopeful and light-hearted I wish it didn't have an ending!!!!!!!!

In this book, Barbara Johnson describes her experience with brain cancer. Sprinkled throughout are her traditional humorous observations, cartoons, and anecdotes collected along the way. It all helps us to not take ourselves too seriously, even in the midst of a life-threatening illness, as we "let go" and commit ourselves to God's care, confident of ultimate victory whether we live or whether we die.

This book is good light reading for someone who may not be feeling well and can only read a page or two at a time, the entries are all short and easily read. This book will almost certainly cheer up someone who is in a hospital bed.

The book is wonderful. I am still reading it and it keeps me laughing. In this book Barbara tells all about her brain surgery and I am a brain surgery survivor and it has been wonderful hearing how she weathered the storm. The book is excellent and I highly recommend it. If you are feeling down and need a lift then read this book. She will cheer you up.

I have never had cancer, but I have a chronic illness and I really got a lot out of this book. You will LOVE the joke about the pastor's kitten at the end of I believe the next-to-the-last chapter--TOO CUTE!!

delivered quickly and in great condition
Was for a gift - recipient very pleased

Barbara has extended her helpful explanations of her diabetes and brain tumor with those who suffer from them. Anyone having these health problems will benefit greatly from what she tells of having them herself. Just knowing that someone has gone through these successfully is a benefit to those having the same ones. She takes you step by step through her diagnoses and treatments and recovery. She is a blessing to all of us, young or old.
