An extra large blessing

I've owned this book for many months, but had to wait my turn as various males in my house read it. It was worth the wait. I read a chapter or two--really a column or two--at a time. Sometimes one can see what is coming in Kirkland's writing, but then again sometimes one is surprised. Regardless, he is clearly an admirable man; someone to be desired as a neighbor if not, as Lynn Johnston jibes, a spouse. I recommend this book whole-heartedly to anyone who finds life challenging. We are not alone.

Kept the laughs rolling on a long trip!!

Gordon Kirkland saved my life with his latest book. I threw it in the car and on our long trip read the chapters out loud to my husband and two kids. The traffic jams melted away as we literally laughed until we cried. I had to stop several times mid-sentence to catch my breath and read the rest with tears in my eyes. No kidding! It is a hilarious look at everyday life that anyone can relate to. I intend to leave it on the coffee table. The cover is attention grabbing and anyone can pick it up and read a chapter and get a smile. I liked the first chapter the best! A great read and one worth owning!!!!!
