"When God Makes Lemonade" created by Don Jacobson

"When God Makes Lemonade" created by Don Jacobson is a compilation of true short stories which demonstrate the lemonade that God blesses us with when we experience the lemons of life. The stories range from happy to funny, and even sad, but all are inspirational.  There are a total of 68 stories most of which are but a couple of pages in length so even the busiest of readers can easily read one or two at a time. The book is 344 pages in length.

I have always enjoyed this type of book and this one reminds me of the very popular "Chicken Soup For The Soul" books. This, like the "Chicken Soup" books, is one you can pick up anytime you want an uplifting little story to read. While it is excellent for anytime of day, in my opinion, it is ideal for reading at bedtime. One nice added feature I appreciated was the addition of the author's own story.  It's always nice to learn something about an author beyond the usual  "About The Author" portion of a book.

I highly recommend "When God Makes Lemonade" to everyone. Even older children would find the stories of interest and the brevity would attract them as well.

I received a free copy of this book from Booksneeze a review program of Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for my honest opinion. The words are my own.
