Book Description

A scrapbook from a journey into the heart of wisdom, The Upside Down World ~ A Book of Wisdom in Progress is a collection of essays, a spiritual memoir sharing the roots of a faith life like few others, poetry written out of love, stories and quotes of encouragement and notes with crazy ideas that will change the way you view the world. And beautiful pictures to set the whole thing off.

But please don't think the book is your usual Christian scrum. This is not a book for the certain, complacent and comfortable. It is written for the struggling, the needy, the faltering and the wondering:

"Thanks for the book! I downloaded a copy in spite of not generally being attracted to the 'Christian' genre. I'm enjoying the pictures and when I read your first part about the 'Yoke of Jesus' I knew this one would be okay to read. It's so nice to hear from someone that doesn't think you are a sinner if you are poor! (Okay, maybe I went to a bad church once...)" - Karen

And at its heart, The Upside Down World ~ A Book of Wisdom in Progress is unexpected yet accessible. Enlightening but not preachy. An easy read but one that will stick with you long after you're done. It's cliché, but quite literally it will make you laugh and it will make you cry. And will almost certainly have you saying, "huh - I guess I never thought of it like that before" as well.

Come and join in the upside down world. Where an adolescent girl finds God in a shoe, families write poetry together, momhood means breastfeeding on the toilet and a man with many lovers meets his match.

Part memoir, part meditation, part poetry, part storytelling and art and essay all mixed together. The Upside Down World ~ A Book of Wisdom in Progress is a deceptively easy read that will stick with you long after you're done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jesus is my headlamp September 1, 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This author sends the reader spelunking through the subterranean veins of Christian introspection. The author strives to reach beyond her own uniqueness to impart universal truths worthy of the masses. A quick read that will stay with this reader for days, months, and perhaps years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Enlightening July 29, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author strives to impart age old wisdom in a unique way. I personally enjoyed this because I'm a Christian. Sadly, most may think it's too "preachy."
