Glass Roads Tour -- God Makes Lemonade

ABOUT THE BOOK:

God Makes Lemonade True Stories that Sweeten & Inspire I bet you could use a little good news right about now. We have just the book for you! In God Makes Lemonade™ you'll read stories from everyday folks who discover 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. We sure did! But these true stories all have one thing in common: hope. There's no question that life gives us "lemons," like issues with health, employment, and relationships-truly sour circumstances we wouldn't wish on anyone. But when those lemons become lemonade, it's as refreshing as an ice-cold drink on a hot summer day.

The Review: 
My Ranking: 6 out of 10 
Ages 14 & up


This was a neat compiling of short, simple, yet sweet stories. Some of them were funny, while others somewhat sobering, yet each held a lesson and something to walk away with. I, myself, didn't find this book that interesting or inspiring, which is strange because usually I like books like this, but I do think that many other people would find it an enjoyable and encouraging read.
The stories were clean and well written, easy to read, and enjoyable. I recommend this to anyone who enjoyed Chicken Soup for the Soul books, or likes inspirational non-fiction. :)
