To Any Athlete: A Collection of Motivational Quotes, Slogans, and Poems for Athletes and Coaches!

This collection of motivational quotes, slogans, and poems for athletes and coaches was compiled over the course of a 35-year career in education and coaching. It is hoped that this material will help to motivate, and inspire both male and female athletes and coaches of all ages. While the cover image may suggest the book focuses on the sport of basketball, this book is appropriate for all sports and athletic endeavors. In addition, while many of the quotes and slogans that appear in the book incorporate the words “he” and “his”, the words “she” and “hers” could just as easily be substituted in many cases without altering the meaning of each item.

Poems of Faith & Inspiration

Frogs, family and lots of fun combine to make this book of poetry a must-read by everyone who loves the funny and teachable moments we all run into.   There are poems of inspiration, musings about life in general, instruction on kindness and treating others with love, understanding and respect.

Never one to take credit for her own work, Joyce Folsom Johnson has written hundreds of poems over the years.  Lots of them are written in tandem with our loving God who inspires her to keep getting up in the middle of the night to jot down the ideas (or full poems) He has suggested to her. 

These poems started out as gifts to friends and family on special occasions and to recall fun times of bygone days. Spending some time in this world brings back memories of joy and sorrow, and reminds us all to live out Jesus’ love.

Marcia Lee Johnson Newell

“You take words and weave them into beautiful poetry which touch people deeply. I have admired you, and I think you are wise beyond your years.”

Wilma Rollins, Former School Teacher, written in 1989

“Divinely inspired, encouraging, thought-provoking and at times, funny. Ever showing God’s great love for us, this book is a keeper! One to refer to for many of life’s situations.”

Christine Ann Johnson Morrison

What Is the Bible?: How an Ancient Library of Poems, Letters and Stories Can Transform the Way You Think and Feel About Everything

New York Times best-selling author Rob Bell, using his inspired and inquisitive approach, focuses on the most widely read book of all time. He provides surprising insights and answers about how the Bible actually works as a source of faith and guidance, showing a brand-new way of interpreting this sacred text.

Rob Bell, the beloved author of Love Wins and What We Talk About When We Talk About God, goes deep into the Bible to show how it is more revelatory, revolutionary, and relevant than we ever imagined – and offers a cogent argument for why we need to look at it in a fresh, new way.

In Love Wins, Rob Bell confronted the troubling questions that many people of faith were afraid to ask about heaven, hell, fate, and faith. Using the same inspired, inquisitive approach, he now turns to our most sacred book, the Bible. What Is the Bible? provides insights and answers that make clear why the Bible is so revered and what makes it truly inspiring and essential to our lives.

Rob takes us deep into actual passages to reveal the humanity behind the Scriptures. You cannot get to the holy without going through the human, Rob tells us. When considering a passage, we shouldn’t ask, ‘Why did God say…?’ To get to the heart of the Bible’s meaning, we should be asking, ‘What’s the story that’s unfolding here, and why did people find it important to tell it? What was it that moved them to record these words? What was happening in the world at that time? What does this passage/story/poem/verse/book tell us about how people understood who they were and who God was at that time?’ In asking these questions, Rob goes beyond the one-dimensional question of ‘is it true?’ to reveal the Bible’s authentic transformative power.

Rob addresses the concerns of all those who see the Bible as God’s word but are troubled by the ethical dilemmas, errors, and inconsistencies in Scripture. With What Is the Bible?, he recaptures the good book’s magic and reaffirms its power and inspiration to shape and inspire our lives today.
