5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous stories with faith, candor and heart July 18, 2012

By ArtMuseLit

I love this book so much I have not only read it multiple times, I've come back and purchased several more to give as gifts, and have had the best response from each recipient. The assortment of stories and essays is just right...some laugh-out-loud, a few tear-jerkers, and all of them faith-affirming without ever sounding preachy. To read it is like hanging out, having the conversation of your life with a great group of trusted friends. Highly recommended.

During one chapter you'll be laughing so hard you can't breathe and the next, you'll have tears running down your cheeks. All of the stories are 'relatable'. They are our own stories told by someone else. Great to give as a gift!
