Summary: This is the book I wish I had written!
Review: If you can only read one book this year, you might want to consider the bible. But if you can read two, pick up Conversations at the Girlville Diner. What a fun book! What I love about this book is it's honest. Chris and Kim are just two people with husbands and kids and the routines of their lives. Isn't that where God does His best work? In their wonderfully fun and and fresh style, Chris and Kim manage to teach us God's incredible lessons in such a subtle ways we don't realize we've actually been in class the whole time we're reading. I am always looking for books I can share with non Christians without being embarrassed. So many books are so preachy and filled with church lingo that people are put off. This book is a wonderful book for your friends who don't know the Lord, but also for those who do. When I'm in the diner, I am able to look at my own life and see how God is working. I know first hand how much work it is to first of all write a book, but secondly to keep the book lively and fun from the first page to the last. Chris and Kim have succeeded. Get out that credit card now and buy Conversations at the Girlville Diner. You will be so glad you did.

Summary: Women's humor at its best
Review: This book is even better than its title. The authors deliver a series of short essays on topics every woman can relate to, and they do it in styles uniquely their own. On one page, I was laughing; on the next page, crying. This is Anne Lamott you can bring home to your mother. God is at the center of the lives of both women, and, we discover in these delightful vignettes, that he is also the one in the details. Another kudo to the authors: hardly a fat joke to be found!

Summary: Oooooooh! I love this book!
Review: This is a winner! Need a good laugh? Need a good cry! With great wit and warmth these gals share stories from their lives that will entertain you, encourage you and challenge you. I enjoyed this book so much that I am arming myself with several copies to pass to other women. Women of all ages will be inspired as they see how our everyday obstacles and bumps can bring us closer to a very BIG God. Give me more Chris Wave and Kim Bolton!

Summary: A chuckle a minute
Review: With keen insights, Bolton and Wave write about the realities and emotions of the ordinary woman's life. They weave a delightful mix of anecdotes into biblical applications that women can personally relate to. Bits of humor scattered throughout the book increase the impact of the book's spiritual lessons. I still chuckle about their self-described waistline after having babies: "a line between 2 rolls of flab that sat on top of each other (picture bagel dough with a crease in the middle and you've got the idea)." Written in conversational style, the book has sections relating to the everyday Blue Plate Special of unconditional love; God's menu of soul growth; comparison of contentment with hash browns; and the Child's Plate of character development.
