About this title

From the Back Cover:

An upbeat, humorous, yet poignant visit with four friends who are enjoying a fresh perspective on life from the “now that I’m old enough” age. Having traipsed through the adventures of their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties...(well...who’s counting?) they are taking time in these pages to reflect with one another, on how their friendship, experiences, and maturity have altered the view of life they held in their younger years. The depths of faith long enjoyed, the strength of many struggles faced and endured, the humor of recognizing that what once seemed so important is now seen as trivial, the confidence in skills long practiced, the zaniness of being freed from the inhibitions of youth...all these make for rich stories which encourage, amuse, nurture, and stretch the hearts of readers.

Gloria Gaither, Peggy Benson, Sue Buchanan, and Joy MacKenzie take the reader on a delightfully unpredictable journey from the whimsical days of roller skates and baby doll carriages, through the years of new adventures with the coming and going, gaining and losing of business ventures and families, and finally to a sense of satisfaction in their well-earned wrinkles. Young women will laugh and ponder as they read. Women in their middle years will chuckle while wiping their misting eyes as they recognize the peaks and crevices of their own lives on the page. And woman who are “now old enough to know better” will nod knowingly and roar wholeheartedly at the freeing perspective that comes with experience. But all women, of all ages, will find their vision cleared, their hearts enlarged, their minds stretched, and their will molded by the dear Savior who has held their hands on the surprising journey through life.

Confessions of Four Thick and thin Friends will amuse, touch, challenge, and deepen the life perspective of every woman who turns its pages.
