“After your class, I posted the handout that gave guidelines for sharing information with children on my refrigerator. That way my husband was likely to read it and we can use the same approach when deciding what is appropriate for our children.”
Portland, Oregon

"Thanks for the inspiration that gets shared via your book! I Came From Joy! is a great book for children and adults and a wonderful resource for teaching values and character."

"I Came From Joy! is such an incredibly empowering book for children! What I like about the book is that it's timeless. I have access to many resources, and after about five years, most of them fade into the sunset, but not I Came From Joy! The concepts are simple for children to understand and practice.”      Burbank, California

"I do love I Came From Joy! and appreciate all the love and work that has gone in to making it such a "joyful" resource for parents, teachers, child-lovers, even those who want to re-educate themselves from a spiritual perspective. I especially love the inclusion of storybooks that support the different qualities and values being addressed. I work at a private religious library and I think it would be wonderful to have a children's section where the books are arranged according to the spiritual qualities they support.”

"As a Child Development Specialist, parents and teachers often ask me how much their children and students should be told about certain tragedies headlining the news. It's a complicated question, but Lorna's book is full of fresh, practical ideas to help guide us. During the Tsunami event, a Kindergarten teacher at my school struggled with how much information to discuss with her class of 5-years olds. I gave her my copy of Scary News, and after reading it she declared it to be "wonderful", and asked that our school purchase more copies for our staff and parents. Scary News is a resource book that should be in every parent's library."
