Product Description

Just like life, The Groovy Chicks’ Roadtrip™ to Peace is full of humor, inspiration and real-life ups and downs. Delving into this brand-new "Chick Lit" compilation, you'll find stories about motherhood, bad hair days, body image, depression, churchiness versus godliness, gossip, and much, much more! And as if the trip weren’t unpredictable enough, Dena and Laurie's 60's alter-egos, Starshine and Pepper, provide wacky, wise, and sometimes-poignant tips and quotes along the way.

From the Author

Welcome! Our names are Dena Dyer and Laurie Barker Copeland (aka Starshine and Pepper), and we’re the co-authors--along with a lot of our friends--of The Groovy Chicks’ Roadtrip™ to Peace. We’re so glad you’ve joined us on our journey! The reason for the journey? To remind women in this chaotic world that Jesus is the only REAL roadmap to peace, and that with God, we can ALL be groovy! And like The Message says in Psalm 18:30: "What a God! His road stretches straight and smooth. Every God-direction is road-tested. Everyone who runs toward him makes it."

5.0 out of 5 stars Good laugh while learning and growing, January 9, 2006

By	Christian Book Previews.com "Christian Book P... - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

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

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy trip, June 7, 2005

By	Jeanne Zornes (Wenatchee, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
