FINDING STRENGTH AND HUMOR IN EVERYDAY LIFE

As of writing my review, there is no cover image available for this book, so I'll describe it for you. A bright yellow row of jonquils blooms against a beautiful sage background. The name of the book, GUTSY LITTLE FLOWERS, is based on Cathy's admiration of these hardy plants, which burst into color even while the season of winter remains. Cathy writes, "Beneath the frozen ground the sleeping bulb stirs, bursts open, and a tiny green shoot fights its way toward the surface of the cold earth...This brave little flower stands as a precious reminder of spring amid a world weary of the gloom of winter." The book is composed of over two dozen stories that delight the soul. Cathy's gift of writing shows in her knack for discovering deep, spiritual truths in seemingly ordinary events. You'll laugh out loud reading "Attack of the Killer Flypaper" and "One Hairy Dog and Two Crispy Biscuits." And if you or anyone you know has been through a harrowing mammogram experience, you won't want to miss the author's descriptive account. I'd recommend this book as a wonderful gift to anyone on your list who loves good storytelling. I must add that Cathy Lee Phillips is also a warm and inspiring speaker. She spoke at our church, as well as my sister's, and gave completely different talks that had everybody laughing. She's so funny! Yet, she knows how to share truth that cuts right to the heart. You'll want to add her first book, SILVER IN THE SLOP, to your reading list as well. The author will give you insight into discovering both hilarity and strength in your own circumstances of life.
