Crooked Halos & Clay Feet

I love books that feed me spiritually while still serving as good entertainment: i.e., well-written, with a timely and true message, but also full of humor and humanity.

That said, I absolutely must recommend Crooked Halos & Clay Feet. I’m not even finished with it yet, but I’m so impressed that I had to pop in here and share with all of you.

LaJoyce Martin's bio states "she has written wholesome Christian literature for over thirty-five years." (Said literature includes close to 50 novels, in addition to many short stories for United Pentecostal Sunday School literature, as well as devotions and “slice-of-life” vignettes such as you will find in Crooked Halos & Clay Feet.) "Numerous speaking engagements, activities in the church her husband pastors, and spoiling her four grandchildren keep LaJoyce’s schedule filled. However, she always makes time to write one more chapter…and to find one more friend.”

Having met this amazing woman, I can vouch for her integrity and spiritual commitment. LaJoyce Martin walks the walk and talks the talk. She’s an incredible example of Christianity, and living proof that one can live righteously without being self-righteous.

Here's the back cover text:

Crooked Halos and Clay Feet is a mix of modern anecdotes, Bible vignettes uniquely presented, and human interest items. We can see ourselves in the mirror wearing Mother Eve’s hand-me-down genes, visit Jonah in the whale’s oval office to learn a whale of a lesson, see how seven ducks helped Captain Naaman, and much, much more.

Readers will find their human counterparts in the refreshingly different presentation of Bible characters and be inspired by the sometimes funny, sometimes poignant chapter concluders. Even those with tarnished reputations and bent halos have a chapter to give them relevancy and hope. This book has something or someone, surprisingly contemporaneous, to minister to everyone.

Be forewarned: You will not find this book in your local bookstore. It’s self-published, and available only directly from the author. Cost: $10.00 + shipping (you'll have to ask Ms. Martin about shipping costs), which will be refunded over and again in enjoyment and spiritual enrichment. If you like to laugh while you learn, and can take seeing yourself in the mirror of someone else's words; if you enjoy the lessons from God's Word served up in bite-sized pieces you can mull over and absorb before tasting the next bite...you want this book.
