Fresh Elastic for Stretched-Out Moms

Best-selling author Barbara Johnson shows how to live with heartaches and find joy in the midst of pain. Through personal anecdotes, poems, jokes, Scripture, and letters from others, the author teaches lessons of life that we may have missed the first time around.

Put some snap back into your stretched out life-with a new band of hope. Sometimes it's tough to let go of the past, live in today, and have hope for tomorrow. Especially when it comes to a lost or rebellious child. Fresh Elastic for Stretched Out Moms is for all parents whose hearts have been broken by their children. Humorist Barbara Johnson writes from experience-and from her heart. In this new edition of her first-ever book, Barbara shows how you can live with the heartaches and find the joy, even in the midst of pain. She shares how God's healing love, coupled with supportive friends and a healthy dose of self-care, are the emotional spatulas that scrape battered and bruised hearts off the ceiling to see another day. Barbara's stories, prayers, letters, jokes, and favorite Scriptures will bring you through the trials and restore your hope, laughter-and elasticity.
