Customer Reviews

Laughter Is Life!

I think it is so neat the way the Lord works, and so comforting to know He truly is aware of all we are going through. The day I received some books from Harvest House for review was not a good day for me. You know, one of those days where you're kind of down and wonder if the Lord has taken a small vacation and can't be reached. Yeah, I was having one of those days. I opened the box and immediately was drawn to Ms. O'Connor's book, "Walkin With God Ain't for Wimps," and I had to smile; I knew God had sent it my way. I settled down in my comfortable chair, grabbed a cup of coffee and began to feed my Spirit on the encouragement this book brought to me. Inside I found tales of real people and circumstances they had encountered, and how the Spirit of the Lord, in one way or another was with them. Whether it was a time when they needed to talk with someone, and asked God if He had a minute , (I loved that one), or "You turns," which really puts our priorities in order. There are just so many wonderful stories of God encounters shared in everyday life in this book, it would be impossible to tell each one, but know this, there are tiny treasures tucked inside each story that will touch your heart, refresh your joy, and renew your hope. I walked away from this book smiling, knowing God definitely was not on vacation, and if He was going, He'd take me with Him. Truly this book will revive your soul, feed your spirit, and give you encouragement to carry on. As an added bonus, at the ending of each nugget you will read a corresponding Scripture and a gentle prayer. Great job! Very highly recommended, don't miss this one.

Fun Gray Power

Karen O'Connor has done it again, showing that "gray power" can also be humor power. She spins fun stories with gentle spiritual reminders. My fav chapters were "Frazzled" and "Tea-Totaler." If you need encouragement that growin' old isn't all about the negatives, get this book. Consider buying it for a birthday gift, too, for another person who could use some golden cheer.
