Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book, developed by the president of CLASServices, is a light yet powerful affirmation of those lessons learned in difficult places. After all, some of the most laughable things now are those we once cried about.


From the Back Cover

Wisdom, experience, and scripture all agree—tough times give us personal endurance and depth of character

But given the option, we would probably join the authors in saying, “But Lord, I was happy shallow!”

This book is the heartening response to that voice inside. It’s much more than a simple collection of encouraging stories. It’s a powerful reminder of the lessons you’ve survived, grown through, and used to sink your spiritual roots deeper into the faith that sustains and nourishes you. It’s your life preserver when circumstances are about to overwhelm you.

“Dailiness is often the chisel that carves within us greater resiliency—so the next time you’re frustrated with the cotton pickin’ flow of your life reach for But Lord, I Was Happy Shallow. You’ll feel understood and encouraged.”

—Patsy Clairmont
Speaker, Women of Faith
Author of I Grew Up Little . . . Finding Hope in a Big God

“But, Lord, I Was Happy Shallow is a wonderful collection of ‘ah-ha!’ moments. . . . these moving, embarrassing, or humorous stories will enrich everyone who reads them.”

—Gayle Roper
Author of Winter Winds, Autumn Dreams, and Spring Rain

For the past twenty years, Marita Littauer has been training up-and-coming speakers and authors through CLASSeminars. She speaks regularly across the nation, and is a regular contributor to Marriage Partnership, Christian Communicator, Christian Bride, Godly Business Woman, and Writer’s Digest.

4.0 out of 5 stars As good as the title, July 13, 2005
This book was an excellent read! While the author makes the reader think about the principles presented, the ideas are understandable for persons who are not necessarily bible scholars.

The title But Lord, I was Happy Shallow is sure to attract attention and the stories included in this book are well worth the read! How often do we think how happy we were until God changed the situation ... seemingly for the worse? When life does not go our way, we normally turn into whiners and complainers just like the children of Israel in the wilderness. Despite our grumbling, God leads us to our promised land, a place of increased depth in our growth process.

The editor Marita Littauer has compiled over 100 real life stories of struggles and the lessons "learned in the deep places." The writers share from their souls often times with a bit of humor and a whole lot of humilty! The personal experiences cover a variety of topics including marriage, parenting, moving, health issues, church, holidays, friendships, road trips and much more.

This is a great book to give someone in need of encouragement. Often times we think we are alone in our troubles, but that is definitely not the case as one will find out when reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anything But Shallow, November 30, 2004
This book was a welcomed respite in a very busy season of life. Each story turned an ordinary experience into an extraordinary life lesson that is easy to relate to. The stories are funny, tender, inspiring, and thought provoking, touching the heart as if being told by a dear friend. With excellence, Marita Littauer has compiled the experiences of many authors, providing encouragement at any season of life. It will make an excellent gift for those needing a boost in the "dailiness" of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deerp Joy, August 23, 2004
By Lynn D. Morrissey "Lynn D. Morrissey" (St. Louis, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
In her creative compilation But Lord, I Was Happy Shallow, gifted author-editor Marita Littauer has gathered an amazing array of true stories which demonstrates that it's the
difficulties of our lives that produce the depth of our characters. The best things in life really aren't free. Spiritual growth costs us something. But oh the rewards! With wit, wisdom, and sometimes a little whimsy, these talented authors prove that God is bigger than any challenge they have faced. He has been there to stretch, shape, and sanctify them through the ups and downs of life, while always drawing them into closer relationship with Him. If you want to laugh, to cry, to rise higher and leave your "shallow-lands" in the dust beneath your feet, this book is your ticket to soaring. You may be happy shallow, but after reading Littauer's book,you'll realize that you can be joyful deep!
-Lynn D. Morrissey, author of Love Letters to God and AWSA/CLASS speaker
