b'Don\\u2019t let your limitations or disability keep you from doing\\nthe work God has called you to do. In spite of health issues that prevent her\\nfrom looking at digital screens for long periods of time, my special guest,\\nChristina M. Eder continues to follow her calling to write. She also makes\\ncrochet and pray scarves, table runners and blankets . Join us as we discuss\\nher writing process and her crochet and pray projects.\\nThe author\\u2019s original intention of simply\\nsharing her thoughts and prayers with her Creator, morphed into baring her soul\\nto the world. By reading these personal reflections, I found myself looking for\\nChristina\\u2019s typical words of wisdom, while asking myself which ideas I\\u2019d like\\nto implement in my life. The more I read, the longer my list became.\\nIt was intriguing that Christina concluded her\\nbook with the \\u201cI Thirst\\u201d letter by St. Mother Teresa. Then it dawned on me that\\nshe began by sharing 90 days of letters to God and concluded it with a powerful\\nletter that will make you feel like Jesus is talking to you. Reading that in a\\nquiet place, with Kleenex nearby, is highly recommended! Since one of her\\nletters was about the \\u201cbookends in the life of Jesus, I wonder if she planned\\nher book to also have bookends.\\nIt doesn\\u2019t make any difference if you are\\nsingle, a parent, lover of pets or music, an artist, veteran, blue collar\\nworker, etc., you are certain to find something you can relate to in this. At\\nthe same time, you will enjoy her skill of writing \\u201cword pictures!\\u201d I highly\\nrecommend that you read \\u201cKnee Deep!\\u201d\\nThis series of letters to her Creator is\\namazing for its transparency of thoughts and feelings. It covers a wide range\\nof topics from the simple and mundane to the profound. Christina has a great\\ngift for putting her thoughts and feelings into words; she has a wonderful\\nrepertoire of metaphors. It is confessional and inspirational, serious and\\nlighthearted, simple yet wise. I commend Christina for this courageous act of\\nlaying bare her soul and mind for the benefit of others.\\nI thoroughly enjoyed this book! All of the\\nbooks by this author are inspirational, but I especially enjoyed this one. The\\nraw honesty is refreshing. It was an easy read and one that I will keep on my\\nshelf to read again and again. I just purchased a copy to share!\\nEasy to make connections and relevant to many\\nreaders. I found myself relating to a number of journal entries. It was almost\\nlike she was talking about (or to) me!\\nPurchase links:\\nKnee\\nDeep: A 9-Month Whirlpool of Handwritten Letters to the Creator (Frog Blog):\\nEder, Christina M: 9781734659627: Amazon.com: Books\\nhttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/knee-deep-christina-m-eder/1139652095;jsessionid=2BC43B1D554286F2822E8908EB667B46.prodny_store01-atgap09?ean=9781734659627\\nConnect with\\nChristina at the following links:\\nwww.gueststarcoaching.com \\nwww.facebook.com/EDERAuthor\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inspirational-journeys/message'
