Up Is Just Backwards When You're on the Way Down Susan Jenkins

Don't you just hate that feeling of falling: the sudden loss of balance, knowing you are about to hit solid ground, wondering how badly this is going to hurt? You grasp at the proverbial straw, only to look up and realize you missed a handrail that might have broken your fall. When all is out of order, what you need most may be in the last place you choose to look. Up is Just Backwards When You're on the Way Down offers perspective on righting yourself amid life's challenges, through encouragement, insight, and a look at the lighter side of life. Each chapter can stand alone, so the doses of wit or wisdom may be digested one at a time or several in one sitting: you choose. From insight into odd behavior ("What's Up with Him ") to a mixed-up pet tale ("The Saga of Sally") or just plain honesty about emotions on special days ("My Heart on Christmas Eve 2013") Jenkins portrays a full gamut of human experience. Spiritual insights from Scripture and her life experience yield perspectives the reader may not have considered, including "Fence or Guardrail," "Holiness," "Check it Out!" and more. In need of an extra gram of motivation? "Just Don't Plan on Doing Anything Tomorrow" encourages the reader to reach for what is possible today, while "Four Minutes that Changed the World" and "What Will You Do When You Have Time?" look at the moments that make up our lives in a whole new way. Be challenged and inspired to look beyond the surface and to choose the strongest the path for your life in "What's It Going to Be?" and "What Are You Here to Do?" In all its thirty doses of wit and wisdom, Up is Just Backwards When You're On the way Down will delight and challenge the reader as they try to stay upright in this topsy turvy world.
