The topic of this latest book also fits in perfectly with where I am in life right now. I have been desiring to have more peace and joy in my life, to display that in my home and to those outside of my family. I've become bogged down with all there is to do, raising a family, taking care of housework, homeschooling, and just getting the next thing done. The repetitiveness of it all and the urgency of each crisis can pull my focus away from God, and bring on the "blahs".
Cultivating joy is the topic that Sally tackles in Dancing With My Father. Drawing from her own experiences and her own realization that she needed to consciously cultivate joy in her life, she has written a book that will touch the hearts of busy Christian women everywhere. I know it is just what I need right now!

Publisher's Summary:
The reality of living in a broken, fallen world can leave women feeling overcome by fear, guilt, and weariness. Many develop “sawdust souls,” numb to any sense of joy.
In this warm and wise book, author Sally Clarkson invites readers to take God’s hand and let Him lead them into a life of anticipation, passion, and purpose. With the voice of a trusted mentor, she reveals how, by getting in tune with the rhythm of God’s presence, women can nurture an inner attitude of anticipation and celebration even in the stressful seasons of life.
Through rich biblical insights woven with real-life stories, women will be inspired to recapture a spirit of joy as they follow God’s lead on the dance floor of life.
