The Stained-Glass Pickup: Glimpses of God’s Uncommon Wisdom
By Cathy Messecar
(Leafwood Publishers 2006)
Newspaper columnist Cathy Messecar shares a collection of stories that will deepen the faith of every woman. The title comes from the first devotional in the book, about a rancher who prays aloud for his high school age daughter while he drives her to school in his truck. I can certainly relate to praying in extremely humble places.
The book contains an eclectic mix of uncommon wisdom gleaned from the Bible and the author’s daily life as a grandmother in Texas. Each devotional begins with a short scripture and concludes with a heart-felt prayer. This would make a wonderful gift to help someone start the new year with an inspiring mentor to lead the way.
