Sisterchicks

Book: Sisterchicks In Wooden Shoes

Summary: When a mammogram result comes back abnormal, midlife mama Summer Finley makes a snap decision to relegate fear to the back burner and fulfill a lifelong dream. Summer heads for Holland where she meets up with tulips, wooden shoes, and her best friend, Noelle.

Pen pals since fourth grade, Summer and Noelle have never met face-to-face. Through decades of heart-level correspondence, they have sustained a deep friendship. A week of adventure helps both women trade anxiety for a renewed and deeper trust in God. When Summer confides in Noelle about the abnormal medical report, Noelle finds the freedom to share a long-held heartache, and both women discover they needed each other more than they realized.

Jesus Calling

Missionary Sarah Young has written a wonderful devotional taken from her own prayer journal. It is full of Scripture references and gives you the feeling Jesus is speaking directly to you. Reading this book truly makes you enjoy "Peace in His Presence". This easy-to-read, comforting little book is a true treasure, just the right size to carry in your purse. One day I was feeling very isolated and alone and I opened to"when you are with other people, you often lose sight of My Presence. Your fear of displeasing people puts you in bondage to them, and they become your primary focus." On another page"No set of circumstances could ever isolate you from My loving Presence." This book will remind you every day how much He loves and cares about you. You will be richly blessed!
