If Mama Ain't Happy
by Celine Sparks
The first time I saw the phrase, I bought the t-shirt, wrapped it up, and gave it to Mama. If Mama ain’t happy -- You know the rest -- Ain’t nobody happy! Whether I’m Mama or not, my pity party can hold a lot of guests hostage. But for the Christian, whose sins are washed forever away, who awaits a spot at the welcome table (I think my plate has cheese straws and endless raw cookie dough), the pity party has been replaced. We have a genuine happiness that outlives the plastic kind, that absorbs the tears, and refocuses the heart. This book shouts, “Yoohoo! The party’s over here!” to women looking for that breed of happiness. - Celine Sparks
How to Train Your Dragon
by Celine Sparks
James chapter 3 talks about an unruly and untamable beast. The dragon leaves invisible wounds, internal scars, and has a velocity that can crush your spirit before you can duck.
Each chapter is followed by ''The Tail End,'' which reveals true experiences - no one could make these up - that will split your sides. But it's not long until the grin is wiped off your face with sobering truths, such as a need to share the gospel - fetch one! Or the time to be silent - sit! Laugh and learn, turn pages of your worn Bible and mark them up if it helps. But hold on to your dragon; it's going to be a wild ride!
Whatever Happened to Fried Chicken?
by Celine Sparks
How do you feel about old-time religion? Celine Sparks resurrects memorable traditions of the past and examines possible keepsakes by the light of truth. What do we want to bring back--the fried chicken, or the hospitality? Do we really want creek baptizing--or the urgency of baptism? Even family traditions do not escape query: whatever happened to being taken out for a whippin'?
Whatever happened to fried chicken? I'm not sure, but the piece I miss most is the backbone. In some areas, we've compromised until all we have left is the wishbone. We wish somehow we could restore the fervor without repeating the failures. - Celine Sparks
Because I Said So
by Celine Sparks
God expects us to be His in every situation. This book hits us where we live with warnings and exhortations based on her own mother's pithy sayings. Sample chapters: "More Money than Sense" (Materialism), "Don't Go Hunting without Your Gun" (Consistent Bible Study), and "Pray for Gettin' Somewhere and Sittin' Down" (Peace amid Chaos).
