God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Life's Little Detours
Regina Brett. Grand Central Publishing, $21.99 (241pp) ISBN 978-0-446-55652-1
On turning 50, Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Brett wrote her most popular piece ever, containing the cancer survivor and single mom's most important life lessons. Here she expands and expounds on that column, incorporating other essays penned over her 14 years as an opinion columnist, to make a rousing inspirational collection. Most of her pieces-dedicated to substantive but familiar ideas like ""Overprepare, then go with the flow,"" ""Stay put in the day you are in,"" and ""God loves you because of who God is""-are short, sweet, and frequently resonant (if at times overly simple). Complimenting her own experience with anecdotes from friends and others, as well as poems, prayers, psalms and excerpts from treasured books, Brett employs a veteran writer's knack for keen observation and thorough self-knowledge, delivering hard-earned wisdom with deceptive ease.
