It’s a Wonderful Life meets The Shack
Julie, a nominal “Christian” headed for a weekend shopping binge to New York, finds herself sitting next to Jesus on a deserted train. Her manicured, pedicured, self-absorbed, designer life is turned upside down when she gets off the train and finds she’s in India! Her divine assignment? Rescue 11 orphans living on a garbage dump before she can return home.
Can Julie learn to trust the Lord when her life is totally out of control? Each day brings her overwhelming challenges of living and sleeping on the street. How will she feed the orphans when her purse is stolen? Can she protect them from a predator who steals and maims children and sends them out to beg? Can these “filthy orphans” help rescue Julie from her stone-cold heart?
The answers to these questions will also be the answers to many of your questions about God, life and yourself. Read The Designer Bag at the Garbage Dump and jump into a great adventure.

From the Inside Flap:
From the author: OK, I substituted the Foreword for the inside cover--so sue me!
Powerful teaching can be hidden in stories. This is why Jesus taught in parables. You hold in your hand the story that highlights truths we need to embrace in our journey to die to ourselves. Though slow and painful, it is necessary in order to totally live for Him. I have learned through the years that setting our heart to obey Him 98% does not leave us with vibrant spirit. But, giving 100% of ourselves brings 100% of Him. What an
incredible exchange!
Learn about the struggle for total surrender by watching Julie's life and read the rich rewards that come to her as a result: intimacy with the Lord, a change in perspectives and priorities, a love for people, a healed heart, relational changes, joy and the alleviation of stress and
disease.
The second theme of this book is our attitude toward the poor. Reading this book will give an increased inspiration and vision to touch the poor. I challenge you to grapple with the issue of what it looks like to live a simple lifestyle in our western, affluent consumer-oriented culture. Do our checkbooks distinguish us from our unsaved neighbors? Is most of our time consumed by our work in order to pay for more possessions? Beloved, it is best to settle these issues now, not tomorrow or in ten years. Read, learn, be inspired and be change by His abundant grace!

I'm sorry the internet is all that's available; I wish we could chat over a cup of chai and chocolate cookies. But since we can't, here's a little info about me. Here's the boring part: live in KC, MO, blah, blah, blah, award-winning humor author and ghost writer, blah, blah, blah.
Mildly interesting stuff about me:
A: I enjoy:
*Humor!
*Reading (OK,it's an addiction)
*My Australian Shepherd, Rex (a.k.a., "the Rexer Doggie").
*Garage sales and thrift stores (I LOVE a bargain)
*The clear blue water of the tropics and the exquisitely beautiful fish that reside there
*Good conversations
*Miracle Whip (not mayo)
*Tea (not coffee)
*Milk chocolate (not dark)
*Funny quotes-my current favorite: "DESTINED FOR GREATNESS-Just pacing myself."
I dislike:
*Snakes
*House cleaning (If you're allergic to dust you would die at my house)
*Cooked turnips (but I like them raw)
*Cold temperatures (Anything below 72 and I'm dressing in layers)
*Horseradish, wasabi, hot peppers, anything hotter than mild sauce at Taco Bell
*Waste of any kind
*Arrogant people with Y chromosomes
