Nicole Johnson – författare

Are you working harder than ever but feel like you’re accomplishing less?

Does your morning routine make chickens running around headless look sane?

Is your deepest sense of calm found in the bathroom with the door locked?

Do you check social media more than five times per day? Per hour?

Author, speaker, and actor Nicole Johnson knows what it’s like to feel as if you’re drowning in crazy. When she couldn’t catch her breath or stay awake long enough to talk with her husband, let alone God, she sought to find new ways of “being” in her life. Creating Calm in the Center of Crazy is a voice of possibility and peace for women seeking to find a calm spiritual center in a crazy, runaway world. As a wife and mom of young children herself, Nicole recognized that life had become out of control. And, with the help of a crisis, she started her journey to create the very calm she was craving.

Nicole’s voice is authentic, humorous, and practical, and at the same time deeply spiritual and real. She brings rich storytelling together with her desire to find calm, and in the process discovers a deeper faith. Her personal story grounds the book as she abandons mere tips and tricks (and the empty promises of time saving apps), to explore new practices — like creating a room of her own, setting technology boundaries, rediscovering the spiritual disciplines of quiet and still (they’re not bad words) — and then extending those practices to provide a safer, stronger refuge for calm to dwell.

Nicole’s journey is shared with relatable stories, insightful help, and practical ideas that explore the inner life of a recovering crazy busy woman finding her way to calm and a deeper relationship with God.

La invisibilidad se encuentra infligida en las madres. Debido a la clase de trabajo que hacen, sus rostros desaparecen y su labor es anónima. Ellas se convierten en manos que construyen, forman y moldean. Pero, ¿Qué sucedería si las madres pudieran ver su función tan claramente como cuando se le observa a un constructor trabajar en una de las grandes catedrales?

Un día un hombre llegó a una construcción de una de las catedrales más grandes que existían y vio a un constructor esculpiendo un pajarito en una de las vigas que eventualmente iba a ser cubierta por el techo. Confundido, el hombre le preguntó  al trabajador, «¿Por qué haces tanto esfuerzo en algo que nadie nunca va a ver?» Se dice que el constructor le respondió: «Porque Dios si lo verá».

La mujer invisible es una historia conmovedora que se afirma a las mujeres por el trabajo casi nunca observado en su diario quehacer para sus familias. El libro incluye una dedicatoria con la inscripción: «Con admiración por la grandeza de lo que estás edificando, cuando solamente Dios lo ve». Con seguridad, este libro se convertirá  en un regalo atesorado para madres y abuelas en todo el mundo.

Do you need hope for the daily grind?

Are your responsibilities and commitments robbing your life of joy?

Are you sleepwalking through your days?

Are you on the sidelines of your life as a spectator instead of fully participating?

This is your wake-up call to a Fresh-Brewed Life.

Nicole Johnson invites us to wake up to a richer, fuller, more flavorful life than we ever imagined.  In a robust blend of relationship, ritual, and hope, we are summoned on a journey of discovery that awakens us to God to ourselves, and to others.  And- like lingering over a cup of coffee- this is a process to be savored.

Since first published ten years ago, Fresh-Brewed Life has helped more than 100,000 women wake up their souls.  Now revised and expanded with additional chapters, more journaling ideas and fresh-brewed adventures, and a brand new discussion guide, Fresh-Brewed Life will help start brewing your own, richer, more meaningful life.

With tender words and touching photos, Nicole Johnson guides us toward the "flat thud of grace" that can change our lives when we drop our rocks and choose to love instead.

“When your son tells you he’s homosexual, your best friend confesses in agony she’s having an affair, or your sister tearfully describes her abortion, you have a choice to leave mere theory behind and enter the gritty reality of relationship. Love is giving you a chance to choose.”

Rock-throwing is one way to settle hostilities or to exchange accusations. You can knock Goliath flat if your rock hits him in the right spot. Not bad, if your goal is to kill your enemy. You can express your moral outrage by joining the angry mob howling for a sinner to be stoned. But what if that sinner is your friend, and you would rather change their heart than shed their blood? We don''t have to hurl the rocks we clutch in our judgmental hands.

This offering in the Faith/Hope/Love Trilogy by Nicole continues to be requested by audiences that saw her perform the dramatic sketch on the 2001 tour.

With wit and wisdom, Nicole Johnson leads readers in a journey of awakenings—first, to God as they respond to His tender, passionate love for them; second to readers as they embrace their identities as women, their gifts, and their dreams; and finally to others as  readers learn to love and communicate in ways that bring joy and closeness.

There is nothing like the pain of feeling invisible to those around you. It especially hurts when you are serving, giving, and loving, and no one seems to notice or even care.

In creating The Invisible Woman, Nicole Johnson shows how much she understands the difficulty of living with great responsibility without receiving any recognition. Nicole puts us inside the mind and heart of Charlotte Fisher.

And as we walk through Charlotte''s story of feeling invisible, we experience the comedy and loneliness of her life. The invisibility that at first feels inflicted ultimately brings her real significance and meaning.

Drawing her strength from the invisible builders of the great cathedrals, Charlotte realizes she is not invisible to God, and this simple truth changes everything for her. Faith is rekindled in her heart as she seeks to love her family in ways that only invisibility makes possible.
