March unleashed a torrent of rainfall after an abnormally dry winter. A cold front out of Canada then descended and was held in place by a swirling wind that roared down the George from eastern Oregon. Although spring was surely just around the corner, the god of winter was not about to relinquish its hard-won dominion without a tussle. There was a blanket of new snow in the Cascades, and a rain was now freezing on impact with the frigid ground outside the house; enough reason for Mack to snuggle up with a book and a hot cider and wrap up in the warmth of a crackling fire.
At first I was so shocked by the beginning I almost put the book down! Thankfully I read on!!! For me the greatest gift was seeing the wonderful way God meets us were we are...How loving! To see how judgemental I am so often without EVEN understanding or having any way of knowing the details of each precious life. I am blessed, humbled and so encouraged by this book. I bought 5 copies to give out immediately and it is really interesting the feed back so far. Great discussion topic!

I've heard nothing but great things about this book. It's near the top of my TBR pile.
