I Can See Myself in His Eyeballs: God Is Closer Than You Think

By Chonda Pierce

Book Overview

What would it be like to get so close to God that we could see ourselves in his eyeballs? Not because we want to look at ourselves, but because we want to be that close to him--to the mysterious, wonderful, invisible God who reveals himself even in temptations, trials, and dangers.

Can you see God when your husband gets a speeding ticket? What about when your daughter wrecks her grandfather's truck? Is he watching while you drive down the road in a Chevette held together by wire coat hangers?

With her usual sense of southern humor, Chonda Pierce invites us to open our eyes and our sense of humor as she teaches us how to catch God at work, especially in the most unlikely places. Like the time she got her ears pierced--contrary to the advice of her mother. She walked out of the jewelry store, saw two nuns, took them as a sign from God, and never wore pierced earrings again.

Chonda the comedian has touched thousands of women around the country, from stage or on video. "To see or hear her is to love her," is the unanimous response. But in her writing, Chonda brings a whole new depth of insight into her humor--humor that enables readers to dispel all gloom and experience the joy of the closeness of God in their everyday lives.

great book .. funny stuff

had my mom in TEARS as she called me every other day to read another passage to me.. it was just as fun if not MORE fun for me to hear how much it cracked my mom up as it was for my mom to read it!

I never read a book like this one...

I saw this book and it just jumped out at me and said, read me. The cover was funny and I really had no idea what it meant. I started to read the book at morning breakfast and continued almost finishing until lunch.I loved it! I cried when I read the very first story about the author's mother accompanying her daughter on a "road trip" and every town she went to and saw things, and talking to people, she said in every town...
