Overview
Praise forDancing with My Father“InDancing with My Father, we learn along with Sally Clarkson how to experience peace and joy through all the challenges life has to offer. The scripture offered and questions asked at the end of each chapter make this a wonderful book for individual or group study.” —Brenda Nuland, home-schooling mom and blogger, found at coffeeteabooksandme.blogspot.com“Sally Clarkson’s warmth and wisdom remind us to quit worrying about our footwork, lean into God's embrace, and let Him lead in this joy- filled dance called life!”—Lisa Harper , popular speaker and author ofA Perfect Mess“Ever long for a gentle, godly mentor? One who with words and by example, graciously guides you through the maze of life, encouraging you to see with your heart, hear with your soul, and ultimately discover God in the midst of it all? You hold in your hands a mentoring manual creatively crafted by Sally Clarkson. This treasure will enable you to confidently rise above the circumstances of your life, unearthing contentment and calm as you too learn to delightfully dance with your heavenly Father.”—Karen Ehman, national speaker for Proverbs 31 Ministries and author ofA Life That Says WelcomeandThe Complete Guide to Getting and Staying Organized“With grace, candor, and engaging true-life stories, Sally Clarkson helps readers rediscover the reality of enduring joy in a fallen world. This is a book well worth reading!”— Cheri Fuller, speaker and author ofMother-Daughter Duet“This is not another ‘don’t worry, be happy’ book. Sally gets to the heart of what true joy looks like and how to hold on to it throughallcircumstances of life. I highly recommend this book—and Sally Clarkson!”—Ginger Kolbaba, former editor ofToday’s Christian Womanmagazine, founding editor of Kyria.com, and author of the novelDesperate Pastors’ Wives“A breath of fresh air for weary travelers on the ministry road. With characteristic grace and wisdom, Sally Clarkson acknowledges that even the most devoted Christian suffers discouragement, disappointment, and disillusionment. She meets us in our crashed idealism and burnout—but she doesn't leave us there. With God at her side, she leads us to the gentle peace and quiet trust of a mature Christian. I’ve read all of Sally’s books; this work is her best yet!”—Elizabeth Foss, mother of nine and author ofReal Learning: Education in the Heart of the Home“These pages sing a song that could change your life. In lyrical prose that truly captivates, in the rhythm of personal narrative and startling truth,Dancing with My Fatherinvites the soul-hungry, the joy-lame, and the spirit-weary to come to the soiree and stay. This isn’t another paint-by-number, formulaic book, but an honest, thoughtful invitation to live an authentic life of biblical joy.”—Ann Voskamp, columnist for ChristianWomenOnline.net and theSan Antonio Christian Beacon, and a blogger, found at aholyexperience.com
