About this title

Review:

Laurie Beth Jones, author of the bestsellers Jesus CEO, The Path, and Jesus in Blue Jeans, has been collecting personal reflections, poems, and insights for over 20 years. From these she has culled the pearls for her latest book, Grow Something Besides Old.

Her sometimes humorous, sometimes startling, always provocative ruminations range from the wonders of nature to the wisdom of childhood to the perplexities of life. Each passage is intended to draw us closer to God, to help us find within ourselves the divine.

Anyone familiar with Laurie Beth Jones will be very pleased with this latest offering. Brimming with joy and encouragement, Grow Something Besides Old is like a personal letter or phone call from a close friend, bringing wisdom and smiles in equal measure. It can be read through from beginning to end or simply opened at random. Keep it beside your bed to read upon waking, in your bag to take out when stuck on line, or simply give it to someone you love. Among the proverbs in the Bible is the familiar: "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." Laurie Beth Jones has given us a glorious selection of words fitly spoken in Grow Something Besides Old. --Patricia Klein
