A Fun but Meaningful Read!

Margot Starbuck is back with as much passion and energy as ever. In thirty brief chapters, she invites you to choose the adventure that fits who you are in authentically loving those around you. Yes, she knows: just the thought of adding something more to your life sounds exhausting. But here's the fantastic truth she's discovered in her own journey: "We don't have to add lots more overwhelming activity to what we've already got going. The regular stuff of our lives--the commute to work and the potlucks and home improvement projects and errands and play dates--are the exact places in which we express and experience God's love for a world in need." With a list of resources, a study guide and a six-week "Adventure Challenge," as well as plenty of stories and hilarity from Margot's own life, Small Things with Great Love will open your eyes to the people around you and the huge impact you can have on them through small acts of love. "Small things happen when I learn the name of my daughter's school bus driver," Margot writes. "Small things happen when I listen to the dreams of a woman who lives in a group home on my block. Small things happen when I risk crossing a language barrier even though I look really stupid doing it." And small things add up to big adventures and surprises, for you and others. The biggest surprise of all might be how powerfully God can use you, right in the midst of your walking-the-dog, paying-the-bills, doing-laundry life, when you're living out his love. Do the first small thing by opening these pages--and let the adventure begin!

Stop Squeezing Me!!!

I love this lady! She's so...REAL! And she understands that we don't have to get our nails done and floss first before leading someone to Jesus. Whew! What a relief!!! Because if that were the case, I'd be in serious trouble in the evangelism department. (I had my nails done once because I was getting ready for a TV tour and my sweet husband thought it would be nice to actually have fingernails--or the facsimile--while being interviewed. Couldn't wait to get them off when the tour was finished! How in the world do people type or do dishes with them on???)

Yeah, I know. There's nothing wrong with them, and frilly chicks enjoy them. Good. Go for it! But for those of us who would rather watch a football game than go shopping (SERIOUSLY!), it's refreshing to have someone like Margot (rhymes with Fargo) Starbuck come along and tell us we don't have to be squeezed into that mold. (And with the extra pounds I've put on since I officially left middle-age behind and moved into those so-called "golden years," that's really good news because I'm having trouble squeezing into anything these days!)

If you'd like to spring free from "skinny jeans, nose jobs, highlights, and stilettos"...in other words, if you have thighs and are actually considering plastic surgery in order to finally feel good about who you are--SAVE YOURSELF A BUNCH OF MONEY AND GET THIS BOOK INSTEAD!

Unsqueezed by Margot Starbuck is available wherever fine books are sold, particularly at www.MargotStarbuck.com, so hop on over there and escape that suffocating mold!
