Synopsis

Do you know someone who could use some encouragement? Perhaps that someone is you. When God Makes Lemonade comes from the lives of everyday folk — a collection of stories about people like you who have discovered unexpected sweetness in the midst of sour circumstances. Some of these real-life stories are laugh-out-loud funny, others are sobering, and more than a few will have you reaching for a tissue. But these true stories all have one thing in common: hope. There is no question; life will sometimes give you lemons: out-of-your-control issues of health, employment, and relationships, circumstances that are truly sour — you wouldn’t wish them on anyone. But when those lemons become lemonade, it is as refreshing as an ice-cold drink on a hot summer day. When in life “stuff happens,” know that Lemonade Happens™ too! Be encouraged and inspired . . . When God Makes Lemonade.

When hard times strike, and they always do, it helps to share them with friends and family. Sometimes it provides wisdom when the answers we seek fail to come; sometimes it's a shoulder to cry on when grief and loss are too much for one pair of shoulders to bare the burden alone; other times it's to......more

This is the kind of book to keep in the bathroom, on your coffee table, or next to your bed...where you can pick it up when you have a few minutes to spare.

Just Wow! All I can say is wow! I have had this book for a while, and for whatever reason, decided to read it a few nights ago, and I am so glad I did. Once I started, it was hard to put down.

Quotes

"Don Jacobson is an author who reads his own work with skill. Here 68 short stories illustrate how God turns life's lemons into lemonade. This work is the first in an ongoing series. Jacobson's polished performances and powerful characterizations illustrate a variety of flawed characters, painful situations, and difficult circumstances that listeners will quickly identify with. The author's personal story of accidentally shooting himself and experiencing a marvelous encounter with God afterwards begins the collection. He delivers topics such as death with dignity, unwanted pregnancies, and divine encounters in a crisp, clear baritone. Although all the stories recount difficult situations, each ends with inspiration and hope as Jacobson captures the unexpected blessings of God's grace."
