I'm so glad to learn of this site!!! I've been "fussing" at Barbara for years to get more visible online (I mean that in an affectionate tone ). I love her, believe in her and have been helped tremendously by her endless joy that just won't quit.

You have no idea how you have touched my life. A friend at church is having issues with her son and I opened up about my son and she said she had just bought your book "Stick a Geranium in Your Hat and Be Happy". She said she wasn't a reader, but couldn't sit this one down! I found a VHS on-line and watched it the day I got it, then we swapped the video and book.

Thank you so much for sharing your life story. I will keep you in prayer.

I am praying for you and for your recovery. I have just finished reading Plant a Geranium in Your Cranium, and I do understand the new vocabulary that you have to develop when you have cancer. So many words you never expected to have associated with your being. Thank you for chronicling your journey through your disease--it has blessed me more than you know.

Dear Barbara,

I can't describe how much you touched my life through your book "Stick a Geranium in Your Hat and Be Happy".

I am Venezuelan so the version I found at the bookstore was the Spanish version. But with this book I proved to myself that when it comes to the touch of the Holy Spirit there is no language boundary that could keep me apart from the blessing.

I love to write, and you have inspired me a lot to become the writer I am now. I learned from you that if we follow God's instructions and hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit, our testimony could be put on words that can transform completely somebody else’s life.

I hope to be your neighbor in heaven (in many, many, many, many, many, many, years…not yet ok!) so we can laugh and laugh with Jesus and the angels all day long.

Thank you for sharing your pain and joys…I hope someday you can read one of my books too, it will be an honor.

My husband and I will be praying for you, your son David and your ministry…

I love you in Jesus… Majely

We met you in the 80's when you spoke at Sugar Creek Baptist Church in Sugar Land, TX. Thank you for your visit and the wonderful, inspiring humor in your books. We like to give out your books to those hurting (which is almost everyone).

Dear Barbra,

I have just finished reading "He's Going to Toot and I'm Going to Scoot." I enjoyed it very much.

Thank you.

Dear Barbara & David,

Yesterday on my 1st visit to the local library, I asked GOD to lead me to the book HE would have me read for encouragement. WOW! There was your book, "Plant a Geranium in your Cranium". I am so blessed & encouraged.

LORD JESUS, encircle your beloved Barbara in your tender care.

Love ya, Barbara!

I am a worry wart, and GOD now guides me to just pick up your book and let him handle it all. Thanks!

GOD, keep Barbara strong so she can continue to keep some of us sane through this crazy life...

In JESUS Name I pray Amen...

Dear Barbara,

Thank you so much for being such a blessing to so many people! Many people are praying for you! Be encouraged!

Barbara,

I saw you in person at the very first WOF conference that I attended. Your story was so inspiring and uplifting. Since then I have read several of your book. Right now, I have "Daily Splashes on Joy" sitting on my table so that I can read it daily. Thank you so much for writing and motivating us to experience HIS JOY!!
