What's In This Book?
Are you a patient person? The answer to that question may depend on
who you ask. Maybe you say "Yes." But maybe your spouse, your
children, your friends, or your co-workers have a different
impression. You don't have to live in impatience. You don't have to
live with a hot temper. In this book LeFan tells how God taught him patience through his
personal trials and struggles as a polio survivor. It's not a tear-jerker
about personal hardships.The
author's own difficulties in life are briefly noted--as
"credentials" on the topic of patience.
Patience, My Foot! is about
learning God's patience through your life's difficulties. Most of us
readily give lip service to the need for patience as we rush through
life. LeFan reminds us through a wealth of stories, Scripture, and
his own experiences of the importance of seeking and
developing real patience. There are riches here to motivate and
inspire. LeFan shows readers how to come to grips with life's
challenges. The advice is not a collection of platitudes,
rather it is nitty-gritty how-to. The book was literally written
with the toes of LeFan's left foot.
