Oh Susanna!

See, I've got you singing another song! Oh Susana, Oh don't you cry for me. For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. This makes me think... when I was little my parents used to sing every song under the sun. I think they really do know the words to all songs prior to the '60's, maybe even the '60's. Us kids would just look at each other like, here they go again. Then to really get us, my mom would be in the kitchen and start singing. She'd grab anyone's hand near her and start dancing and singing with them. I personally just stood there while she held on and twirled about! Funny. I now do such embarrassing things to my kids. It's great.

Ok, back to why I called this Oh Susanna! A few years ago one of my favorite pastors, Dick Foth, was all excited about his daughter Susanna's book. This was her first book and with pride he gave me a signed copy, thanks Uncle Foth!! Here is a photo of it, and the book that followed:

Both books are great and so well written. She makes you laugh, she makes you look at yourself, and then she really challenges you... Ok, God really challenges you. I even did a book study with friends using the questions at the back of the book. I have the honor of reading her next book and blogging about it next week. Here is the cover:



 

I hope you'll come back and see what I have to say, it is really good and again, so challenging! What you can't read on the book is the portion in white, which reads:  Freedom from Perfectionism, Control Issues, and the Tendency to Listen to Talking Snakes  Classic!
