I found this book through Amazon while I was researching a blog note about cracked pots. The book is apparently out of print, but the copy I have was done by Focus on the Family. Communication with them indicates that the rights to the book reverted to Patsy, but her website does not list her older books. I am trying to get permission to quote from the book because she really does down to earth comments on trying to live a Godly life. If you haven't read this you should. I've always loved here insights ( )

This book is written by an American mother who's also a travelling speaker, and is described on the front cover as 'A Lighthearted Look at Life's Foibles & Fears'.

It's not a book to read straight through - it's a series of anecdotes about Patsy's family, or her life in general, dotting about the years and usually coming up with a serious point at the end - or a not-so-serious one. I found myself picking it up every so often when I had five minutes to wait for something, and reading a bit more - each section is only two sides long, so they're easy enough to read.

It's not a typical book at all due to the style; it's really more like a blog! It's friendly, informal, to the point, and gives a good picture of the author's family and life in a series of apparently random comments and anecdotes.

It's not hilariously funny, or particularly moving, but it's certainly light-hearted and enjoyable, and excellent for picking up to browse when you have a few minutes to spare.
