If anyone had a reason to curl up into a corner and cry, it would be Marilyn Meberg. She has experienced things in her life that many of us will NEVER go through nor understand. Instead of hiding under the banner of "I have a right to my pity party", she chose to rise above it all and find laughter and joy in the most desparate of circumstances. Her anecdotes had me nearly rolling on the floor with laughter and tears in my eyes. Everyone needs to learn how to laugh. It is a necessary skill in life. The Lord provided this means for stress relief and we should embrace and learn to use it.

Marilyn's humor is wonderful. She gives day-to-day events a new look...like how her washing machine when on spin cycle threaten to march thru the laundry doors out into the neighborhood. A very fun, easy book to read. Inpiration as well, gives the lighter side of losing someone close.

This is one of her funniest books. I haven't yet found the 'gift' to enjoy everything about life, but the author sure has! In this book, she talks about how her husband also saw the fun in life - even when he was dying. The part about how he thinks up how to get people to feel sorry for her after his death is hilarious! She proves that God must love to laugh!

I saw a DVD of the Women of Faith and I was impressed with Marilyn Meberg and her message so that's why I have purchased some of her books. I was not disappointed - I will probably reread her books. Very good!!
