 Reading The Facts of Life was like a contemporary version of Psalm 23. Lisa takes us through her green pastures and leads us by the still waters of her life. Anyone who longs for the Good Shepherd to make a psalm out of their own lives will be as encouraged and inspired by this book as I was. One moment you think you're reading Erma Bombeck -- the next, St. Theresa of Avila! My friend Lisa invites you to join her on an inspirational and often humorous journey -- from child actress to wife and mother of three. You'll enjoy every minute of the ride! I've been Lisa's pastor for nearly twenty years, and the facts are these: She is a solid believer in Christ, in God's Word, and in family priorities. I've seen her grow from a good girl to a godly woman, a faithful wife to Steve, and a loving mom to her kids. This delightful book is loaded with pearls of truth laced with humor and the kind of stark honesty that is both refreshing and disarming. Lisa's personal story also gives readers significant insight into the character and ways of God. I've known Lisa as a prayer partner and a friend for over fifteen years, and she is the real thing. What she shares in this book are real life lessons, laced with her wonderful humor and insight. They're easy to read because she illustrates them through just plain good writing. As you read about her life, it will inspire you in living yours. I know it has done that for me.
As Blair Warner on The Facts of Life, Lisa Whelchel matured from a snobby prep schooler to a responsible adult. Now the actress recounts the journey she's made in real life, from a shy, small-town girl in Texas to the glamorous life of fame and fortune in Hollywood -- and finally to suburban life as a pastor's wife and homeschooling mother of three. Poignant autobiographical stories reveal the developing trust in God that has enabled Lisa to grow in grace through seasons of pressure, pain, and prosperity.

I have no idea where this book has been hiding and I had actually forgotten about it, but it suddenly appeared on the top of a stack of books I have sitting on a cabinet. It was obvious to me that I was meant to read it now and I am glad I did. I encourage anyone who is interested in living a Christian life to pick up a copy and read Lisa Whelchel’s story (
