Every once in a while I like to ask my wife, Erin, to provide a bit of the ‘female’ perspective here at Faith Emergence. Once again, she’s been asked to review a new book that’s coming out, and this time it was a book that she’s been waiting for: Sisterchicks In Wooden Shoes.
Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes
A Sisterchick by definition is: a friend who laughs with you till you cry and cries with you till you laugh; a gift from God.
I am a sisterchicks fan to begin with, so when I was asked to review the new Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes by Robin Jones Gunn, I was excited. Robin does such a good job of taking you to different places around the world, which is nice because I don’t get to go there myself. In this book in the series, the best friends happen to be pen pals and Summer from the U.S. flys away to meet her never-before-seen pen pal Noelle in the Netherlands. Robin also does a good job of mixing silly girlie adventure with an appreciation for God and what He does in our lives. While Summer is busy making faux pas after faux pas and learning Dutch culture, she also slows down enough to enjoy the “sacredness of the everyday” and to give up some of her controlling nature and recognize God’s hand in her life.
A good, easy summer read and it even has discussion questions at the end of you are in a book club!
