Already a popular role model to all ages, in 2009 she captured the national spotlight again when she won the widely popular Dancing with the Stars. Yet Shawn is no stranger to hard work and adversity. Her loss of the major gymnastics prize everyone expected her to win in Beijing, the all-around Olympic gold medal, was the loss of a dream she\u2019d worked for since childhood. And later, she suffered a potentially career-ending injury in a skiing accident that forced her life to a halt and made her rethink what was really important. She wasn\u2019t sure who she was anymore.<\/p>\n<p>She wasn\u2019t sure what her goals were. And she wasn\u2019t sure she was satisfied with where she was with her faith and God. Could she find the right kind of success in life\u2014the kind that doesn\u2019t involve medals or trophies, but peace, love, and lasting joy? This is the amazing true journey of how the young woman who won an Olympic gold medal on the balance beam became even more balanced.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0082CXO0Q\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kindle052-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0082CXO0Q\" target=\"_blank\">Winning Balance<\/a><br \/>\nShawn Johnson (Author)<br \/>\nISBN: 978-1414372105<\/p>\n<p>Where to buy: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0082CXO0Q\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kindle052-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0082CXO0Q\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/images\/amazonbutton\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"27\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005HXFVGS\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kindle052-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B005HXFVGS\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodbookstoday.com\/authorservices\" target=\"_blank\">AUTHORS<br \/>\n(Sign up to be our &#8220;Book of the Week&#8221;)<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"fcbk_share\"><div class=\"fcbk_button\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a name=\"fcbk_share\"\thref=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GBT-Kindle-Book-Club\/297949073623302\"\ttarget=\"blank\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"http:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-content\/plugins\/facebook-button-plugin\/img\/standart-facebook-ico.jpg\" alt=\"Fb-Button\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"fcbk_like\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#appId=224313110927811&amp;xfbml=1\"><\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<fb:like href=\"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/winning-balance-shawn-johnson\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"button_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"\"><\/fb:like>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of the Week: Winning Balance Shawn Johnson (Author) Twenty-year-old American gymnast Shawn Johnson is a four-time Olympic gold and silver medalist; a national- and world-champion athlete.
