Knee Deep<\/em><\/strong>, by Christina M. Eder<\/h2>\n

Volume 3 of the Frog Blog Series<\/em><\/h3>\n

A Nine-Month whirlpool of Handwritten Letters to the Creator.<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Did you ever think of writing a letter to God?<\/p>\n

How would you do it?<\/p>\n

Would you ask questions about your everyday life and experiences?<\/p>\n

Would you offer God some suggestions, or help?<\/p>\n

To Whom\u00a0 would you address those messages?<\/p>\n

It is hard to say what we would do, isn’t it!<\/p>\n

But, in this collection of short daily letters to God, Christina tackles some tough questions that many of us would also be asking. As I read this book, I was asking myself how I would talk to God if I started writing him a letter every day, knowing that other people would be reading them when the book was published.<\/p>\n

In this third publication by Tennessee author, Christina M. Eder, we are faced with\u00a0 many question as we begin to read her\u00a0 letters to God. She calls him by many different names as we proceed through the correspondence. Hold on, because you are about to step right into the Whirlpool!<\/p>\n

When I began to read this book, I realized that the short letters were deeply personal, and Christina explores so many topics in the collection it would be impossible to say exactly what the focus is for the collection. I found that the questions she asks cover a broad range of topics. I decided to read one or two a day, to get the most out of the experience.<\/p>\n

In Part 1:<\/p>\n

The book opens with Christina writing her first letter, \u201cDear Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n

She is talking about her new business cards. and describes herself as \u201can encourager.\u201d She asks God for \u201cbig messages in few words.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are a few of those big messages in few words:<\/p>\n

-Longing for personal connections that are not done through a screen or appointment<\/p>\n

-Discernment in priorities<\/p>\n

-Selecting One Word for the year<\/p>\n
