Put a printed copy in a prominent place

Even the title of this book prepares you for what is inside. Each of us have experienced those times when life serves up lemons. The thought of making lemonade rarely satisfies the churning that we feel inside because of the circumstances in which we find ourselves. And that is just with one to five lemons handed us.

Watkins turns up the heat of the crisis by addressing those times when, instead, a truckload of lemons is dumped on our front porch. Did you catch the hint of that in the title? The greatest value of book comes from the fact that he does not speak from a theoretical viewpoint. His book is based mostly on his own life experiences. Sometimes raw, sometimes humorous, Watkins is always personal.

At the end you feel like you just sat down at a coffee shop with a friend who gave you exactly what you needed to get through your latest shipment of lifeâs lemons. I recommend getting a printed copy. Read through it with a pen and marker. Finally, set it in a prominent location in the reference section of your bookshelf.

pucker up for a fun read

For many years I have been a fan of the wit and wisdom of James N. Watkins. He weaves his natural sense of humor into serious subjects with seamless ease. And trust me, his sense of humor is warped like mine! Check out this âstand upâ routine Moses could have given with his back against the Red Sea:

âHey, howâs everybody tonight? Well âshofar,â so good (rim shot). So, how âbout that Passover meal? Great menu if you have to be on the lamb (rim shot). Tough room. Iâm dying like a firstborn in Egypt (rim shot).â

Having lived through many âlemonsâ in life, his words are also rich with the wisdom of personal experience and the compassion that grows out of it. Despite his funny chapter titles (below), the contents have significant helpful content for those of us in the puckering problems of life. When life gives you lemons:

â Donât confuse them with hand grenades (Identify the problem)

â Check the delivery slip (Determine if itâs your problem)

â Sell them on eBay (Profit from the problem)

â Paint smiley faces on them (Laugh at the problem)

â Join a citrus support group (Share your problem)

â Use as an all-natural organic astringent (Grow from the problem)

â Donât shoot the delivery driver (Forgive the problem-maker)

â Call in the Master Gardener (Take the problem to a higher level)

â Grow your own orchard (Live a fruitful life despiteâor because ofâthe problem)

â Give off a refreshing fragrance (Live a lemon-fresh life)

Iâd encourage you to pucker up for a fun read because we all need to laugh more and find fresh perspective to help us through difficult times. Pick up Squeezing Good Out of Bad at a sweet price right now.
