Something About Me and My Book:
My husband George and I are ordained and serve as Christian Counselors who are passionate about helping hurting seekers and believers recover emotionally. We were inspired to develop a truly unique and effective counseling tool that we use in our sessions that can also be used privately in self help situations. It's an emotional recovery workbook called Encouraging Words for Christian Emotional Recovery. It's easy to follow, it's simply written, and it's transformed many lives. We pray it ministers to you and those you care about.

We distribute the book, so email us for ordering details. pastor@encouragingwordsministries.org

Warmly, with all love and blessings

    Hi Sharon,

    Great to hear from you! I would love to read your book, and I would like for you to read mine. Given the feedback I have received, I believe both books can serve the same audience, but in different ways. Would you be willing to do a book exchange? Let me know.

    Blessings,

    Thanks for the idea, Nicole. No, these chapters were inspired writing and had really nothing to do with planning, believe it or not. This has been God's ministry and work, and we've been His skilled, willing instruments! Actually, in our practice we use the serenity prayer as an emotional recovery tool that has helped so very many. Regarding press releases and marketing, we're getting re-started and welcome input big time! Thanks!

    Hi Sharon,

    Bless you for encouraging others through the Word. Having witnessed God's miracle working power firsthand, the Holy Spirit prompted me to write my first book, a testimonial to the greatness and healing power of our God. http://lifealteringwords.com/with-wings-as-eagles

    My ezine: Embracing All the Promises of God aims at encouraging others to stand and grow in their faith to tap into His power and blessings. http://lifealteringwords.com

    Bless you and look forward to networking together,

    Ann Stewart

    Hi Ann!
    Just posted on your page, but couldn't let this go unanswered! I look forward to sharing and encouraging you in your ministry just as you have committed to do the same for us. God is amazing! I, too, have experienced first hand the awesome power of His healing love, since the medical people say I shouldn't be here to write this!

    In His love,
    Sharon

    Hi Sharon....I read your description above my link which you added to your site (thank you for that)...you mentioned it does not have God anywhere, but in my book I do mention "your creator" a number of times...just thought I would let you know...thanks again.

    Aug 15, 2007

  • Cindy Jost

    thanks again Sharon....the best of luck with your endeavours....

    Aug 15, 2007

  • Cindy Jost

    Hi sharon....I just thought about it and perhaps my mention of "your creator" does not exactly refer to God himself...I apologize for making you think you had made an error...again I thank you for adding my link to your site. God Bless

    Aug 15, 2007

  • Cindy Jost

    Hi Sharon....thank you very much...and again I apologize for making you think you had made an error...in fact you did what you thought was right and it was not my intention to question your thoughts...

    Wow, Sharon, I love what you do for others. Every single one of your posts looks inviting and intriguing. When I get just the right blog entry for my book blog
    (shesgotcharacter.blogspot.com) I'll add a link to you or one of your articles. (I didn't include the link for promotion, but to show you that it isn't related to my regency romance writing!) Your stuff will fit right in on new book's blog, since it's about Women's Issues.
    Thanks for finding me and inviting me as a friend.
    Keep up the good work!

    Thanks, Sharon.
    As I attempt to ride out this storm, i relize there is more strength in numbers [2 can put 10,000 to flight].
    I will contact you at the assigned designation, in the AM. OK?
    Thanks, and God bless.

  • GLOVER WASHINGTON

    Good morning, Sharon. I am thanking God for you and your family ministry.
    I am going through major changes in my life, and need prayer to encourage me and my family to see through the trials.
    Will you remember me and my family this day, as you pray, a brother in Christ on a mission to help his fellow man? A new job, a bipolar daughter who may rejoin our household, and a teenage daughter who is confused about her future.
    Sometimes I just feel overwhelmed by it all.

    Sep 24, 2007

  • GLOVER WASHINGTON

    Thank you for taking the time to labor before the Lord on my behalf. I will never forget it. You have my sincere gratitude.
    There IS a Friend who is closer than a brother.
    Thanks for being a friend in need.

  • GLOVER WASHINGTON

    Thanks, Sharon! How are you, today? Still going through, but I know for sure:
    HE IS ABLE!
    What you read is an excerpt from Shame's Anatomy"
    [chapter 24,p.296]
    It was inspired by my mother, who always reminded me:
    "Boy, don't let nobody see your shame!"
    She told me this repeatedly, before I went to college.
    Some things stay with you for life.
    Be blessed, always. And thanks for taking time out to pray for a soul in a moment of weakness.
    I will always treasure that, as well.

    Sep 27, 2007

  • GLOVER WASHINGTON

    Thank you, Sister!
    We are on the brink of a divine revelation, and God is calling all the saints together for prayer, fasting and unity for what he has planned for us. You are in my prayers as well.I thank God for you always,as you are indeed a friend that is closer than a brother.
    When you mentioned your own trial, I was assured of one thing:
    "Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some strange thing happened to you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's suffering; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye shall be glad also with exceeding joy.
    Stay blessed and secure in the faith.
    Your brother always

    Sharon,
    It was the sixth anniversary of my daughter's death the twenty-first of September, and every year it takes so much out of me just thinking about how much I miss her.
    I am so greatful that she left me her son, for he is my salvation.
    God Bless,
    Donna
