About Joy & Company
Growing up in southern Louisiana, Mother often reminded me to “be mindful” of the company I kept. When Mother dropped a dish towel, it was major house cleaning going on because we were going to have company. If we asked who was coming she replied, “I don’t know but I dropped the dish towel and surely someone will visit soon”. By the week’s end we’d have company.
The Joy & Company story is a simple one. In effort to pay homage to God for His sustaining powers operating vividly in my life, I stepped away from a secular book club to temporarily host a book club dedicated to the reading of Christian literature. This was nineteen years ago.
The morning after I decided to host the temporary book club; I dropped the dish towel. Soon afterward, I hosted the first Review with Joy (the initial name) book club meeting and several friends joined me. When the last guest left, I smiled with endearing thoughts of Mother because I had lots of company that afternoon and it was mighty fine company indeed. The Review with Joy & Company has grown from book club to former television show and radio show which currently streams live on the Fishbowl Radio Network (www.fbrn.us). I find myself in the midst of mighty fine company as I sit weekly with Rosemary Legrand, Rose Lewis and a host of authors who have graced our platform.
The Christian Literary Awards (CLA’s) were birthed after I attended a writer’s conference and the Christian authors were placed in the rear corner of a huge room with over 300 authors exhibiting their books. I felt disappointed and grieved in my spirit when I discovered the key note speaker and the highly praised author of the event was one whose writings were easily rated X.
I could not get the few Christian authors stuffed in the rear corner out of my mind. I was destined to create a platform that would promote and support authors of faith based literature. Authors who write to glorify God and enhance both Believers and Non-Believers.
