Shamgar (the Shining Star)

Children bring much joy to author, Joyce
Ashley. For many years she taught
school and served as School Counselor to primary and elementary school
students. She and her husband of
43 years, Patrick, have three adult children, two daughters-in-love and six
grandjoys (with whom she especially loves reading)! The completion of this book
brings Joyce a personal joy of seeing a life-long dream come to fruition. Her
love for God and passion for children are the motivation for this first book in
the Shamgar
series.
Joyce is the founder of JoyJoy Ministries.
She has a daily radio program called Joy
Juice and has authored three books about joy. As a speaker, writer and a
grandmother (Gigi), her heart's desire is to share with others the
"inexpressible, glorious joy" (1 Peter 1:8 NIV) which comes from a personal
relationship with Christ.
