 | This book is unique. I love unique. Cheri Gamble has a fun parable style. She tells a little story from her life and ties it to the spiritual. These aren't a cheesy, “Praise God for helping me tie my shoes today” type of stories. Not that some of us don't need help with some of the simplest things sometimes, like when I was expecting and couldn't even see my feet much less reach them to tie shoes. Thank the Lord for slip-ons! If you've read very many of my reviews, you know I like thought provoking books. I like things to stimulate my mind and help me consider different perspectives. |
I love the way Cheri gives a scripture for you to look up and then gives a story from her life and weaves the two together. This isn't just applying to personal growth, but also in how to relate to and reach out to others who are hurting in our world. I love this quote in her book:
"Isn't it incredible how God can take something so ordinary, such as duct tape, and turn it into something extraordinary for the Kingdom? In His hands, even the most ordinary household object can become a tool that can be used to advace the kingdom if there is someone willing to do the work."
I recommend this book to everyone! There isn't a person in this world who couldn't relate to some of the adventures of Banana Bread & Mismatched Socks!
