There is not a person in the world that does not have at least one crisis in their life. Infact, people many times have more than one. If you have or have not (yet) this is the book for you. The author thoughtfully provides insight, energy and compassion about how people can thrive and grow in any situation. She will show you that our lives can be more dynamic and full when adversity is turned and molded into beauty. There is a storie and thought for everyone. As you read this book you will think it was written just for you. It will speak to you like a friend. Great Job Gail Feldman. Thanks for your gift.

Most of us upon hearing the phrase "making lemonade out of lemons" have examples of painful experiences and events which are instantly called to mind. Chances are, some of those examples are too painful to imagine making anything good of them. In her latest book, From Crisis to Creativity: Taking Advantage of Adversity, Dr. Feldman gives us a recipe for utilizing the adverse ingredients in our lives to make delicious lives for ourselves. I encourage you to delve into this excellent book and try Gail Feldman's "recipes" for transforming your life through your own God-given creative abilities.
