Legacy of a Pack Rat

Rating:
Summary: die-hard pack rat shares her stuff
Review: like the proverbial pack rat -- filling his lair with bits & pieces of this & that -- ruth bell graham has rummaged around in her mental attic & come up with 132 bits & pieces of this & that to share with her readers. each tiny chapter is filled with vignettes, anecdotes, poems & quotes that somehow join together to give an intimate portrait of the life & times of this inspiring woman of faith. you could easily use this book like a devotional & just read one tiny section a day, or you could sit down & read the whole thing in one sitting (as i did!) the bits & pieces range the entire gamut: from the deeply profound (like the one about the chinese executioner who discovered that God could forgive even murder), to the merely amusing (like the one about the time the grahams served a bowl of "tadpole soup" to a family friend) &, like a day spent digging through the attic looking for secret treasure, it's well worth the effort spent -- once you find IT! :)
