About Jill English Johnston

God writes His story on every heart, if we only pause to read it. My heart has lived in a fantasy world since early childhood and am delighted that God has finally brought me to the place where I can bring the fantasies to life through story. I am currently working on a fantasy trilogy (of course) but I also post thoughts, reflections and (hopefully) inspiration to my website: tabletsofhumanhearts.wordpress.com I am a follower of the Rabbi Jesus, married to my best friend and inspiration, and the mother of three incredible children, one daughter and two sons, a son-in-love, a daughter-in-love and two adorable granddaughters. When not writing, I passionately pursue prayer, reading (never enough time to read them all!), and the outdoors. My husband and I both served in the US Navy and have lived/travelled through many states and all over Asia. We both still enjoy travelling, but we really love our home in New Braunfels, located at the Texas Hill Country.

It amazes me to think, and I had to constantly remind myself as I read, that this book was written at the end of the 19th century, over 100 years ago. Even then, EM Bounds, in Power Through Prayer, cried … Continue reading →

Re: Restart

Posted on August 30, 2019 by Jill English Johnston

We all need a restart now and then. We began something that we wanted to keep doing. A healthy diet. An exercise plan. Further education. A garden. A reading plan. Writing a book. Why is it more difficult to stick … Continue reading →

Re: Remain

Posted on March 29, 2019 by Jill English Johnston

Remain. I’ve done my fair share of planting plants, killing plants, and actually growing plants. One thing I noticed, that if a part of a plant (a bough, a branch, a stem) becomes separated from the main plant, the separated … Continue reading →
