The "As Above So Below" principle of the Universe and our active participation in the creation of the world around us is finally seared into our noggins in this funny, anecdotal-and much needed addition to the Spiritual Self-Help sector.  
Deliciously grounded and telling it exactly as it is, this is a truly helpful guide that packs a highly refreshing punch: giving you the nitty-gritty on how, by looking at the Divine Dis-order you've created around you, you can (finally) shift and change that energy in your life.  
Advocates of old-age practices such as "Feng Shui" and New-Age must-haves like "Affirmations" take note: Masuak's take-mp prisoners irreverance will leave you tossing out your Bagua's and Smiley-faces in favor of a vacuum and a hefty bag- or ever, shockingly, filling up your space with stuff you never even (until now) knew you wanted.  
Definitely not for the faint-hearted or the easilyoffended, "The SpiritualSlob" is perhaps the most entertaining and straight-forward book of its kind-the perfect antidote to those of us who are tired of flapping our wings so hard to get to heaven.

I Can See Myself in His Eyeballs...

What would it be like to get so close to God that we could see ourselves in his eyeballs? Not because we want to look at ourselves, but because we want to be that close to him--to the mysterious, wonderful, invisible God who reveals himself even in temptations, trials, and dangers. 
Can you see God when your husband gets a speeding ticket? What about when your daughter wrecks her grandfather's truck? Is he watching while you drive down the road in a Chevette held together by wire coat hangers? 
With her usual sense of southern humor, Chonda Pierce invites us to open our eyes and our sense of humor as she teaches us how to catch God at work, especially in the most unlikely places. Like the time she got her ears pierced--contrary to the advice of her mother. She walked out of the jewelry store, saw two nuns, took them as a sign from God, and never wore pierced earrings again. 
Chonda the comedian has touched thousands of women around the country, from stage or on video. "To see or hear her is to love her," is the unanimous response. But in her writing, Chonda brings a whole new depth of insight into her humor--humor that enables readers to dispel all gloom and experience the joy of the closeness of God in their everyday lives.
