Book Review - "The Edge of the Divine" by: Sandi Patty

I've watched Sandi Patty for years go through ups and downs.  Catharsis after catharsis.  I have always appreciated her frankness and honesty in all of it.  Her book, "The Edge of the Divine", is another such catharsis for her.  She reveals her struggles with weight and her desire to be master over it.  She also reveals her realization that she cannot master it and talks intimately about her coming to terms with who she is and how God made her.  This is not a deep theological book, but it does encourage the reader to come to terms with who we are in Christ and submit to His vision and view of who we are.  It's a beautiful story of love and restoration and a return to joy.  I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

Taste of Tropical Texas...

This is my friend, Tammy's blog.  She's somewhat of an "expert" on what kind of tropical plants will grow in Texas.  It's a fun blog to read...not just for the info, but she's a great writer, too.  Hope you enjoy it!
