I always make sure that your book is FACE OUT on the biography shelf in the Big Book Room and when I pass that unmistakable cover on my way coming or going I smile inwardly and think, "Who else can I recommend this book to?" I have a new writer friend named Melody Goetz and I wish I could be in a book discussion with you and her and an author named Margot Starbuck. I think you would all like each other and would have so much to laugh about and talk about. Maybe in heaven...Thanks again for taking the time to write Susan. Your affirming words made my day!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13099406809372016180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113442.post-3280759292482405192009-12-01T18:18:55.023-08:002009-12-01T18:18:55.023-08:00Susan, I really enjoyed seeing you in Memphis a fe...Susan, I really enjoyed seeing you in Memphis a few weeks ago. And I have to say that your book made me laugh out loud. I finished it last night and plan to recommend it to several friends who I'm sure will love it too. So much of it could have been MY life: the anger, the ranting against God, the questioning, the feelings of betrayal, the rebellion, and the reconciliation. Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting your journey into words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113442.post-13175447911167954072009-11-05T14:35:59.253-08:002009-11-05T14:35:59.253-08:00Staci, you rock.

It would be an understatement to say I am ridonkulously excited to see the show and finally meet you. I know you will be great, and just an FYI, one of my friends who spent the past five years in India as a missionary to girls in the red light district (and has a lot of anger at God as a result) read your book and said God used it to heal her so much that she had to read it again. I have 3 friends that want to borrow it because they have heard such great things, but I am going to make them buy their own!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542755116484810308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113442.post-27472547961759298042009-11-03T18:05:15.132-08:002009-11-03T18:05:15.132-08:00Hey Susan--I'm so sorry I missed your visit to...Hey Susan--I'm so sorry I missed your visit to Portland! I just read your book, at last, and I really enjoyed it. I posted my review on my blog and on Goodreads:<br /><br />http://marie-everydaymiracle.blogspot.com/2009/10/book-review-snarky-but-spiritual.html<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MarieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604805225366129402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113442.post-61752972399455207902009-11-02T11:42:00.639-08:002009-11-02T11:42:00.639-08:00@ Becky!

That explains a lot! <br />@Emily: I cannot fault Cincy for its quiet. Every crowd has its own personality and timbre. I didn't see the "no profanity, ever" on the wall til after the show. Maybe the "ass" comment made people worry. :) Anyway, I met great people and connected with you!Susan Isaacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091876617022681671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113442.post-65816971853407801882009-11-02T11:13:11.950-08:002009-11-02T11:13:11.950-08:00Hey Susan: First of all I love the way you describ...Hey Susan: First of all I love the way you describe your mom with dementia in this post. It is very similar to my experience of my dad when he was in the nursing home with dementia for the last year of his life. And, speaking of dads, the chapter of your book about the loss of your father had me in a puddle of tears. I think you and I are lucky in that we were able to have a full cycle relationship with our parents. Many people aren't so lucky or feel the "honor thy father & mother" commandment means "stifle thy true feelings"- and where's the healing in that? <br />Anyway, I had read half of your book before seeing you in Cincinnati. Sorry about the quiet crowd that night...I was laughing loudly but at times thought not enough people were laughing. You were hilarious. I loved your book and the way you framed your journey of letting go of your false perceptions of God through couples counseling. Great stuff!EmilyAdelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867984435359162898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113442.post-49587158487297450262009-11-02T10:12:43.489-08:002009-11-02T10:12:43.489-08:00Susan, I will never forget meeting you at your fir...Susan, I will never forget meeting you at your first show in Vancouver B.C. It was a pleasure (and easy!) to sell your books! I had to smile when I read what you said about Canadians being a bit passive. As an American from San Diego who now lives in Canada I have sometimes wondered if anyone can tell that my heart is still wild and crazy American!! I help folks sometimes to remember where I'm from by singing the national anthem with my hand on my heart. I hope and pray that God will continue to bless you on your tour.
