GRANNY'S GIFT


HEARTWARMING NEW CHRISTIAN FICTION 
by
DIANE LANDRY!


Granny's Gift", is a heartwarming modern Christian fiction, rich in traditional values.  Leslie chooses to take time out of her career to care for her ailing Granny.  In turn she receives so much more than she gives.   This inspiring story offers a powerful message of redemption.  Of course, every good fiction, needs a romance.  Therefore, one is included.  

We write about what we know, or what inspires us.  Jesus taught people and touched the hearts of people through the stories He told.  He told stories that people could relate to.  I hope to write stories that will inspire and touch hearts, while sharing the redemption that He came to give.

Some readers comments:
"I loved the book!  Can't wait for the sequel!"  Sandra G., Covington, LA
"I loved the book. It made me cry, but what a message!"  Karen F.,Kennesaw, GA
"You are one of my favorite easy read writers."  Susan P. Springdale, AR
"The book helped me to put things into perspective in my own life."  Cheri M. Baja, CA
                  
"Granny's Gift" is now available for purchase: 


Barnes and Noble Nook Book,  Amazon in paperback or Kindle, Yawn's Books and More, located in 
downtown Canton.  It can also be ordered from any bookstore.

The sequel to "Granny's Gift,"is currently in the works.  The story will feature a family that is radically changed by the gospel, through the ministry outreach started in "Granny's Gift."  A Papa's persistent prayers for his daughter's family entangled in domestic violence will be the heart of the story line.  More information will follow...

Passionately writing for the Glory of God, that others may know the redemption that is available in His Son, Jesus.  Sharing the Good News in Writing...

MORE CHRISTMAS INSPIRATION from DIANE M. LANDRY


Giving of thanks can help psychological well-being


Christmas can be a very depressing time for a considerable amount of people, and for many different reasons. It seems the most joyful time of year, can become a time of great sadness for some. Could it be that a change in focus, an attitude of gratitude could help?
Recent studies indicate that an attitude of gratitude helps the emotional well-being of human beings. For some time now, psychologists rarely delved into the science of giving thanks.
The University of Miami psychology professor, Michael McCullough studied people who were asked to be regularly thankful, stated, “"When you are stopping and counting your blessings, you are sort of hijacking your emotional system."
He noted that some psychologists underestimate the power of simple gratitude. “It does make people happier….It’s that incredible feeling.” The Bible exhorts in many places that it is a good thing to give thanks.
Some psychologists are encouraging their patients to keep a journal writing three things they are thankful for, or that went well during the day. The benefits are evident and long lasting.
“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High.” Psalms 92:1 (KJV)
Previously, science found what the Bible stated many years ago, that a merry heart has healing properties, while harboring bitterness, anger or resentment can cause problems in the body. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Proverbs 17:22
