Kaleidoscope

It has been too long since I posted a book review, but in my defense, when I set my 2010 goals I did not know that in May we'd make a very quick decision to move to a new town and in to a new home. And, clearly thought I'd have more time/energy! Nevertheless, still trying to read read read.

Thomas Nelson Publishers recently provided me with a copy of Patsy Clairmont's "Kaleidoscope" for review. While I was reading "Kaleidoscope", I had the opportunity to hear Patsy speak at Women of Faith, it was nice to tie the two together.

Here is a brief synopsis of the book, from the publisher:

Acclaimed author and Women of Faith speaker Patsy Clairmont causes womens' hearts to leap and their hopes to lift in this quirky, straight-to-the point look at the Proverbs.

Understanding the Christian life and the Bible can be a daunting task. But maybe God didn't mean it to be so hard. In Kaleidoscope of Proverbs, Patsy Clairmont pieces together some powerful messages from God and reveals new facets of beauty, inspiration, and instruction. Written for busy women, Patsy offers brief, powerful chapters that address the key aspects of their lives, hearts, and relationships.

 

In the Proverbs, God gives us small gems of hope and truth, and in Kaleidoscope of Proverbs, Patsy Clairmont unveils them for readers with her trademark humor and insightful teaching.

I truly enjoyed this book. It made me slow down and take some time to really understand what it means to be a Christian woman and take a deeper look in to my everyday tasks and actions. "Kaleidoscope" is not a quick read, in my opinion. Uplifting and insightful, yes, but to get the true value of the book, time and thought are necessary. Patsy poses challenging questions, and "Kaleidoscope" should be considered more of a Bible study than just a book.
