My Thoughts:
Tightropes and
Teeter-Totters is Lisa Pennington’s recent book for women but to me it was
like a real chat with a dear friend. Lisa’s writing was very down to earth,
humorous (tears rolling down my face laughing), uplifting, and helpful. At times it was like she was holding up a
mirror to my life and I could see how very much I was out of balance. That is what I really liked about this
book. We as women tend to want to be in
control and we strive for perfection which neither one are an attainable
goal. What is attainable is balance in
our lives. Not without hard work, or
falling down sometimes, but a worthy goal that is possible.
She uses balance as an acronym: B-begin, A-assess, L-learn,
A-account, N-notify, C-change, and E-endure.
In each chapter she shows how we can use this balance in the areas of
life that are very important to a woman: first the woman, marriage, motherhood,
home, outside of home, friendship, money, our tongue, and our moods. She even gives us bonus chapter titled “Miscellaneous”
just because, in her words, women are complicated.
I really enjoyed this book and it has given me much food for
thought. Her advice was sound and she
wholly relies on the Word of God, as we as Christian women should. This is a
book I highly recommend to women and one that I will pick up and reread time
and time again. I like the message of
bringing balance to our lives in this crazy world we live in.
I received a copy of this book for free through Litfuse
Publicity. I was not required to give a
positive review and the views and opinions expressed are my own.
