Sue Buchanan charms audiences wherever she goes, revealing the terrible truth about herself: "I may as well tell you because you'll figure it out anyway: I'm not that deep. I'm shallow. But I'm deep for a shallow person. What I've found out about God is that he is totally trustworthy, and I can relax in his plans. And besides that, all he wants is -- Are you ready for this? -- for me to be his person. Just be his person, for heaven's sake! All I can say to that is, Duh! Who knows? Next I may be writing a six-volume Bible commentary!" Sue offers a merry and witty look at life from the "shallow" end of the gene pool in sixty fun devotions, sure to leave you laughing and pondering some of life's most important lessons. This very funny lady shows us all that we don't have to be "deep" to hear God's voice. All we have to do is listen and we'll find his message about love and redemption in even the smallest details of everyday life.
I love Sue Buchanan. She's written one of my most treasured devotional books, and I keep it nearby whenever I'm starting to take life too seriously. Her personality absolutely sparkles through the pages of her book, drawing readers into a more intimate walk with God. Sue came and spoke to our women's group at church, and within minutes, she had a whole room full of ladies howling in laughter. She proudly displayed her rhinestone-covered Bible and admitted that she was "deep for a shallow person." But Sue's faith is grounded in an intimate understanding of the God who heals. A breast cancer survivor, Sue is no stranger to the agony of a doctor's grim prognosis, or the loss of identity a woman feels when she suffers through surgery and chemotheraphy. Sue has a deep empathy for all women undergoing cancer treatment. And since a cheerful heart is the best medicine, Sue wants you to laugh with her through such chapters as, "You'll Find the Fruit of the Spirit in Plastic Bags Hanging from the Luggage Cart," You Can't Put M & Ms in Alphabetical Order, Can You?" and "I Could Lose Myself in Thought, but Then Again, It's Such Unfamiliar Territory." Sue's essays appear in other compilations, and she's a well-loved speaker and retreat leader. Her book makes a great gift for anyone who needs a pat on the back from a friend. It would also be perfect to keep on a night table in a guest room or at a retreat center (along with a cup of tea and some chocolate!)
SOOOOOO GOOD!
