In her first book, RISING FROM THE ASHES, E. Jean Johnson
delicately and transparently unfolds the story of a young woman
searching for herself and for who God created her to be. Along
the way she found as much pain, disappointment, despair and
rejection as any forgotten woman would. Yet, she also found her
divine purpose and the essence of the woman God formed her to
be. RISING FROM THE ASHES is the victory cry you have
been waiting for


"Jean ... seemed to always have a glow of hope. It's one of the things
I've admired about her. "She was always smiling regardless of what
was going on in her life. She never looked like what she had been
through or what she was going through. She was then and still is
today the embodiment of grace. In order to rise from the ashes,
the way she has, one must be committed to keep showing up for
love. No matter what life brings your way keep showing up. As you
read her words you will see this pattern. As you journey through
her riveting story of trouble, tragedy, trauma and triumph, you too
will come to admire the way Jean keeps showing up for love." Dr.
