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.

This year, I feel the Lord leading me on a journey, a pathway of sorts, a focus on prayer. Of course, as a believer in God and a follower of Jesus, it should seem natural that prayer would be the … Continue reading →

It is a Fallen World

Posted on September 7, 2012 by Jill English Johnston

Recently, my in-laws house was robbed.  My daughter, who was staying with them, almost walked in on the thieves in the midst of the robbery.  I am so thankful she did not.  But she did interrupt them, she also saw … Continue reading →
