Book Reviews of A Stitch and a Prayer: A Memoir of Faith Amidst War
Book Review: We can always do something
Summary: 5 Stars
What a timely book.It's the perfect inspiration for all of us who ask "but what can I do?" as we watch our soldiers go off to foreign lands - and especially now, with so many loved ones so far away.
Phyllis Tickle gives us all a great gift in sharing this story of how her father "fought the war" in his own way. What an example he gave her of how there is ALWAYS something we can do - no matter how "small" it feels to us!
Not to mention it's an easy read - and moving. Like you're sitting in Phyllis' living room listening to her tell the story. I loved it!
Definitely a Christmas gift consideration!
(I saw it actually in Southern Living December issue - they suggested it for Christmas!)
Summary of A Stitch and a Prayer: A Memoir of Faith Amidst War
In simple, eloquent prose, Phyllis Tickle tells the story of how her father?s crocheting of a rosette coverlet was his prayerful response and reaction to World War II. Her father, a veteran of World War I, began this stitching in 1937 and did not stop until after the war was over."So long as he stitched, my father kept the faith with those who could not---kept it until, as he so biblically said, ?this indignation be overpast.?"
As our country is once again in a state of war, readers will find this uplifting tale of hope, prayer, and faith to be timely.
