God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Life's Little Detours Audiobook

" This is not a book I enjoyed because I picked it up and read cover to cover with speed. It is a book best savoured slowly, over time.The real stories, about real people and events here in my hometown, touched me. "

" So many times while reading this book I thought, "Has this women been looking in the window of all the places I have lived?" It's like she wrote the book about me. I can relate with so much in this book, and there are so many "ah-ha!" moments that I feel the need to re-read this book, next time with a highlighter in hand! Very upbeat, you will find encouragement, humor, sadness, and love between the covers of this book. Highly recommend, especially if you want to feel uplifted. "

" A feel good read. I walked away feeling refreshed, and wanting to read her column. "

" Written by my dear friend Regina. So far my favorite chapter is "Get To" "

" SO so uplifting and great wisdom! One of my favorite books ever. Every life lesson either made me laugh or cry or both! "

" This book was very good. The 50 Lessons help me to remember what's important in life. I would recommand this book to all. "

" Living in Cleveland, Ohio, I am familiar with Brett's column in the Plain Dealer. I believe you would categorize this as "inspirational" writing with a decided Catholic bent. The 50 lessons seem rather self-evident and I am not comfortable reading the stream of consciousness of another human being. Not my cup of tea, but those who enjoy reading about "life's lessons" as defined by another may enjoy it. "

" Good lessons to think about at any age! The author is a newspaper columnist and the book is basically 50 personal columns. They are well-written and very interesting. "

" I only read about half of this book, but thoroughly enjoyed it. The essays about each lesson use charming, slice-of-life stories to expand the meaning of the familiar phrases used as lesson titles. "

" I haven't even finished this book yet, but I am loving it. It is so full of wisdom and common sense advice. This a book I want to share with friends and family. "

" Ok, I picked this book up at the Philly Airport on my layover, and it is awesome! Such good advice, and little tidbit reminders that everyone needs at some point in life! "

" Loved this book. I'm not one to re-read usually but this one's a keeper. I highly recommend reading it, even if you're not very religious. "

" I have never read a self-help book before, but I picked this up when my friend's mom was reading it and found myself crying over the first lesson. It is a womderful collection of stories. Way more religious than I prefer, but still worth a read. "

" Good for when you need a get-off-your-rear-and-do-something book "

" A sweet little book - enjoyed reading it - I originally saw Regina's list of 50 lessons for life - on my nieces blog. I ended up googling her - and found her book - and enjoyed it- like a book you would give someone as a present for graduation. "

" Some of the experiences in this book were amazing. I would definitely recommend it. "

" 50 great life lessons from one of my new, favorite authors since we moved to CLE. One of best lines is a definition of "vocation" to fine tune your life - "the place where God chose for you is the intersection where your greatest joy and the world's greatest need meet, "

" This book is amazing. I will never let mine go. I plan on buying a copy for my best friend's mom, who was very recently diagnosed with cancer. This book is full of optimism, but not in that annoying, "Get away from me" way. It changed my perspective. "
