Customer Reviews

I laughed until I was INSPIRED!!

My non-christian friend bought me this book for 2 reasons: 1) I'd just moved to the country ro simplify my life, and 2) I'd recently renewed my dedication to Christ. Little did I (or she) know how wonderfully inspiring it is! I hope there are no men reading this review, but, let's just say I read Chapter 6 - "Cocooning In A Cabin" during an extremely stressful time of the month. AND, I had no idea what was going on since I had miscalculated, as Becky had! Needless to say, I immediately took some steps to slow down and REALLY simplify my life. What a God send! THANK YOU BECKY!!!

Impacting

My husband purchased this book for me knowing I indulge in the "simple life". Becky's graciousness reminded me that certain things are not worth getting bent out of shape about. Our life is unique and we need to enjoy the quirky way things happen sometime.

What a refreshing change!

This book is such a nice change from the "get organized books" This is a feel good book about enjoying the important things in life and Becky Freeman just delivers it with such a great sense of humor and a great outlook. If you find that life becomes too hectice, just read this book - it's helped me decide that my family life is so much more important than job status. I'm now enjoying "The Best of Becky Freeman." She makes you want to be just like her (happily and haphazardly married with kids).

A terrific heartwarming and LAUGH OUT LOUD read

A View from the Porch Swing is a must read for anyone- especially those who need a lighthearted view of everyday life. She's honest, funny, and loves the Lord

A wonderful woman's point of view on life.

The Garden series gave me a great insight into the parallel of my life and the Bible.
