Some Folks Feel the Rain Others Just Get Wet

by James W. Moore

Book Overview

15 sessions. This is another way of saying that some people smell the roses, while others just complain about the thorns. In his warm, conversational style, popular author James W. Moore explores the reasons why some people are able to see our time on earth as a gracious gift from God rather than as an agonizing endurance test, and, simply put, why some people have the ability to celebrate life with an abundance of gratitude. Each chapter in this book includes a reference to an important passage of Scripture, powerful stories and examples from the lives of others, and practical suggestions for better daily living. Also included is a sixteen-page study guide for both individual and group use with questions related to each chapter.

Feeling the rain!

I picked up this book because of the title. And the introduction was so inspirational that I called up two friends and read it to them. In the most simple language James W. Moore explains how to love and enjoy walking this Christian path. Through Biblical examples and the most common sense explanations SOME FOLKS FEEL THE RAIN OTHERS JUST GET WET makes you want to cheer to be alive. Moore's words are both humorist and tearful, I found myself laughing while tears of joy fell down my face. This is definitely a book that will make you feel stupid for looking down so long, dumb for not stopping to smell more roses, and overjoyed and blessed to have sense enough to pick up this book to read!
