Book Review for Kaleidescope - Patsy Clairmont
I met Patsy Clairmont a few year ago at a Woman of Faith Conference in Minneapolis. She was so funny and insightful to listen to that I was really looking forward to reading her book. Kaleidoscope did not disappoint, it has a lot of humor and real life stories in it that everyone can relate to and will love. This book is broken up into 33 chapters with questions at the end of each chapter. It would make a great devotional book, as the chapters arent too long, or a bible study book for a womans study. The questions are thought provoking and would bring out a lot of great discussion in a group of woman.
I really enjoyed the fact that she has faults and is not afraid to admit them, instead she takes joy in knowing that God can change her or help her through them. As a woman it it refreshing to hear that we do not need to be perfect nor do we have to pretend we are! This book also helps us to check our emotions, self esteem and pride to make sure that we are living Christ centered and not worldly lives. The title Kaleidescope fits this book well, at times I felt like my emotions were a Kaleidescope. Laughing at times, crying because something hit close to home and other times in awe of finding out something new in myself. A must read for anyone!
