Turning Guilt Trips into Joy Rides
Enter the Turning Guilt Trips into Joy Ride Giveaway!
Guilt! She pokes you as you write about your quaint, eccentric aunt. She grabs you as you wander from e-mail to Facebook to laundry instead of focusing on your work. She kicks you as you complain about your husband to a friend.
Have you noticed? Women seem riddled with guilt. And it’s hard to know if guilt is legitimate or simply a product of our imaginations. After all, should we really feel guilty about things over which we have no control?
We are not perfect. We have no control over some things, so it's no use feeling guilty. We can't do it all.

About Turning
Guilt Trips into Joy Rides:
Women today are busy,
stressed, and guilt-ridden, yet they long to develop their spiritual sides.
Turning Guilt Trips into Joy Rides offers inspirational thoughts based on
scripture--brief enough to be read during a television commercial, yet
insightful enough to open your eyes to the grace of God on days you change
diapers and/or lead corporate meetings. Each reading suggests a "Guilt
Trip to Avoid" and ends with a way to "Take the Joy Ride." The
book includes six months of daily readings so that you may establish a habit of
connecting with God. Readings are listed under the letters G-R-A-C-E,
representing God, Relationships, Acceptance, Challenges and Emotions.
The coauthors hope these
meaningful readings will help you deal with guilt--both real and imagined. By
applying the insights shared in Turning Guilt Trips into Joy Rides, you may
develop a calmer, less guilt-ridden life-style and become better equipped to
function as wives, mothers and friends. Younger women often develop patterns of
thinking and experience feelings of guilt that carry over into their mature
years, so women of all ages will find this book helpful.
About
the authors:
Kim Messinger, Janine
Boyer and Shirley Brosius had a common bond of Christian service when Christ
drew them together for their first small group meeting in January, 1998.
Since then they have
drawn closer through life’s joys and struggles and found God to be sufficient
for their every need. They call themselves “Friends of the Heart” because
their passion is to help women open their hearts and find joy in
Christ.

Kim and Janine supported
Shirley in writing Sisterhood
of Faith: 365 Life-Changing Stories About Women Who Made a Difference,
which was released by Howard Publishing, a division of Simon & Schuster, in
2006. More recently the three women worked together to write another
devotional book, Turning
Guilt Trips into Joy Rides. They have spoken at women’s retreats
and events in five states. All three women live in Millersburg, Pennsylvania.
