Turn Your Valley Upside Down And Take A Peak

I went to jail for a crime I did not commit. Instead of playing the victim and becoming angry I started a jail house ministry of helping those who could not read or write and began prayer groups in the morning and the evening as well as daily Bible studies.The size of the group grew from 5 men to 25 men and remained active for the four months I was there. I was refused an attorney for four months, but continued to be faithful helping others. Suddenly my charges were dropped, I received an attorney and was released from jail. As I am putting my life back together I realize the great impact this has made on my wife and my children as well as extended family. Gradually we are rebuilding our family and other relationships to be stronger and more loving than ever before. I thank God for this book and Spencer. Also for my precious wife who gave it to me for Christmas. Together we are turning our valley into a peak!

God uses everything evil or bad for our good ..........God knows how to turn things around - He can turn your sorrow into joy- just let him in Psalm 41-22 Jeremiah 31-13 Good on you the book is truly inspiring a gift for people from all walks of life it speaks to such a wide audience. It has certainly lifted my spirits from a very low mood to a joyous person once again. I now celebrate my valleys as I know I will always gain something it is no longer a wasted space.... Lexia

As I blog for my readers on SunnyDawn.com, a website that supports people facing the challenges of divorce, I have quoted from "Peaks and Valleys" on more than one occasion. Divorce definitely represents a valley for anyone who experiences it, but during this period of one's life, embracing the understanding that bright days can come again represents the first step toward making them happen. "Peaks and Valley's" teaches how to move forward into a brighter, sunnier day! Thank you, Spencer Johnson!
