Wonderful collection of encouraging reflections on life

I first became familiar with the writings of Sandra Picklesimer Aldrich when I read her book "Bless Your Socks Off". What an upbeat and encouraging book that was! This dear lady lost her husband to brain cancer when her son and daughter were still quite young. I was amazed at how someone who has suffered such a loss can embrace life like she does and how she can really inspire others to look at life in a fresh new way.This book is a collection of 101 short chapters, grouped by theme. Each chapter starts with a brief Scripture passage and ends with a few questions to ponder. Theses chapters are like potato chips - I dare you to read just one! Even though it would be fun to just keep reading a whole bunch of these stories at one time, I encourage you to take the time and savor each chapter. For there are profound things to think about in each one.Sandra P. Aldrich (read the book to find out why she always includes her maiden name in her byline) is the type of woman that all younger women should have as a mentor. Two few young moms these days have a godly older women to turn to for encouragement and getting that all-important perspective of being able to look back and say what REALLY matters as we're raising small children.Sandra's book will make you laugh, and cry and will hopefully help you to look at life with a fresh enthusiasm and grateful spirit. The author points us to Jesus Christ, the author and perfecter of our faith.This book would make a WONDERFUL gift for women of all ages, but especially for young moms in the midst of raising their children.Please check out my reviews of other Christian books and music!
