~Excerpt from the Foreword by David Craddock
Review from THE ONLINE BOOK
"I was pleased by the unexpected character development in UPLIFTED. As works of non-fiction, many self-help books can be a dry read. This author brings characters into the narrative that add zest and caring. They are profoundly touching at times and cause a reader to reflect on the deeper meaning of the scenes hours after putting the book down. This book is exceptionally well edited and without errors. I found nothing negative to list about it. It is well written and thoughtfully created. For these reasons, it has achieved a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend it to readers who need a more positive focus in life."

“Uplifted” is a book one can come back to again and again and each time find “nuggets of gold” to help us grow in godly virtues. Susan Smith Jones, uses illustrations and stories to remind and encourage us to be: kind, thankful, grateful, and forgiving. Why? Because it is is important for our well-being and results in us being a blessing to those around us.
“Uplifted” helps me to focus on virtues that set us free, bring us heartfelt joy, and, ultimately, cause us to be a blessing to others. Positive words, thoughts, and self-talk is important for our well-being and to those around us. I am reminded of scripture telling us to “Love one another as we love ourselves.” In other words, we must love ourselves in order to properly love others.
Susan’s teaching on maintaining a grateful, thankful heart brings us joy and peace reminding me of another scripture “In everything give thanks.” When we are thanking God, we place ourselves in a position of trusting Him in both good and bad circumstances.
Chapter 5, “The Path to Forgiveness and Courage” is a wonderful lifetime reminder to walk in forgiveness. I again think of scripture teaching, “forgive others because God forgave us through Jesus.”
This book will inspire you to cultivate healthy self-talk, kind words, thankful hearts, prayers and meditation. Read this book and be encouraged to be all that God created you to be—a blessing to yourself and to others.

This book is a spiritual gem
Uplifted: 12 Minutes to More Joy, Faith, Peace, Kindness & Vitality by Susan Smith Jones is the best book I have read so far this year, thanks to its powerful message and the path the author proposes for readers to transform and enrich their lives. The book basically helps readers to focus on what gives them a sense of purpose. In a world that is running faster than most of us can cope with, this book gives insights on zooming in on what is essential — discovering the health benefits of love and kindness, harnessing the power of gratitude while cultivating the tenderness of heart, and more.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part shows readers how to live "a halcyon life while experiencing the benefits of kindness. Part one is centered on living with vitality, focus, and joy. You'll discover secrets to a peaceful life, and find tools to unlock the wellsprings of joy in your life. The author provides tools that can be used to enrich the reader's life for only 12 minutes every day. This book is a spiritual gem, one that you read and pass on to others.
