100 Words of Encouragement By. Tenita Johnson


In the midst of a trying economy and the failing housing and employment industry, one local author seeks to offer hope for the future. Tenita Johnson, author of 100 Words of Encouragement: Tidbits of Inspiration, knows first-hand the effects an economic downturn can have on any family. But after being unemployed for nearly two years, she decided to get up and do something about her current situation.
Johnson began sending words of encouragement as daily emails to five close friends. The positive feedback she received prompted her to compile 100 of the words of encouragement into an inspirational book. Biblically based, 100 Words of Encouragement not only offers hope to make it through the current state of this economy, but to persevere through any trying situation one may encounter in life. For example, author Kimberly Brooks describes the piece as “a must-have resource for encouragement regardless of the season you are experiencing in your life!” The written compilation also emphasizes the belief that if you can condition your mind to think positively, eventually your circumstances will follow.
