Wow! What a great time I had reading Groovy Chicks Road Trip to Peace with Laurie Copeland and Dena Dyer. I was afraid that the book would prove to be a tad lame because of the funny title, but I was pleasantly surprised. I found it packed with personal stories by some great--or should I say "groovy?"--writers: Nancy C. Anderson, Tonya Ruiz, Lilly Allison, Tracy Rasmussen, Susan Myers, Joanne Brokaw, Heather Enright, Shae Cook, Kathy Carlton Willis, Sandra Felton, Kay Flowers, Martha Bolton, Allison Bottke, Ellie Kay and many more.

The stories in this book are personal accounts of how the women found peace with God, peace with others, and peace with themselves. They are a wonderful potpourri of funny, tear-jerking, and heart-touching stories.

At the end of each story the reader finds smile markers (quotations worth remembering); GPS's God's Positioning System (Bible verses); How's Your Inner State? (thought-provoking study questions); Off Ramps (groovy places to visit across the USA); and Pit Stops (activities to entertain and to grow by).

I recommend this book to women who enjoy a good laugh while learning and growing. If you want to read true stories about how women journeyed to find peace in Jesus, this is a book you should not miss. - Elece Hollis, Christian Book Previews.com

Whether you're hitting the road for a long summer vacation, have a few hours to spend at the beach, or just need a great summer read, The Groovy Chick's Road Trip to Peace is a must pack. With a quirky, fun, flirty 70's flair you'll discover what it takes to be a Groovy Girl- filled with joy and peace. This book will make a great gift for that fun-filled girlfriend.

As someone who came into young adulthood in the Flower Power years, I heard all the slogans about peace. But that's when I also discovered what real peace involved. Dena and Laurie have reminded us of real, lasting peace in a spiritual sense through this fun yet serious book about life's journeys. You'll end the book with new friends as the experiences of its contributors intersect with yours. The authors have "glued" together the essays with thoughtful and fun signposts--from things to think about to off-the-path places to visit.

Bad writing by people who simplify life to the point of absurdity. You are not groovy, but ignorant and illiterate.

I just wanted to say that I finished the book about a month ago and it was awsome! In the chapter called "My New Best Friend", there was a story about two women who went to the theatre, that was hillarious!! I was reading in bed, while my husband was asleep, and I was trying not to laugh so loud to wake him! You ladies did an awsome job and I can't wait to read the next one!

Dena Dyer and Laurie Barker Copeland have created a laugh-out-loud (and sometimes cry-me-a-river) compilation of groovy stories from a variety of women in varying stages of life. It's the kind of book you can digest in small sittings, but may want to keep reading well into the night. I was especially happy to see my friend Leslie Wilson's piece entitled "No Place Like Home." If you're looking for a lighthearted, funny, and touching gift this Christmas, The Groovy Chicks' Road Trip To Peace may be what you're looking for.

Join the two grooviest chicks Dena and Laurie as they share with you their road to peace and groovi-ness. Every woman will relate to the stories in this book and will feel inspired and motivated. They combine humor and true life adventures that you will relate to and laugh at, and will guide you to find peace in your life, amid all the hectic-ness. If you feel like you need something in your life, or your feeling down, pick up this book and feel better immediately. This book is a great gift for the women in your life, sisters, mothers, or friends.

The Groovy Chicks' Road Trip to Peace by Dena Dyer and Laurie Baker Copeland is one of those books I keep on the top of my pile so I can reach for it whenever I have a minute or two and need a little boost. The stories are written by real women in real circumstances whom I can relate to. Whenever I have read a passage, I've come away with something encouraging. The content is often amusing, sometimes poignant, but always thought-provoking. Maybe it's because I grew up in the "Flower Power" era, or maybe it's just because I am a woman, like the writers, who is seeking to know more of God's peace and sometimes has a hard time finding the way. Whatever the reason, I have found that this book touches my heart and gives me insights that are truly "groovy" to me!

Hop on board for a joyfilled ride! This book brims with sister chicks' personal experiences -- stories that show the ups and downs and detours of real-life, and the ultimate secret to peace and joy in the midst of them.

An easy, practical read. Its short stories are perfect for busy women. Surprise tidbits stuffed between chapters offer wisdom and encouragement.

A great gift for friends!

I devoured this book. It's encouraging, practical and honest. Read it if you need to be reminded that God is with you for the journey. It's also a good book to pass along. I can think of about 5 friends that I will give this book to.

It really boosted my spirit and it will yours too!
