Everyone will find something to inspire, encourage or give food for thought as they read the short stories in Inspirations From the Everyday. Tandy Balson has shared insights into her faith gleaned from everyday moments. Her writing has been referred to as a cross between Chicken Soup for the Soul and a devotional. Although each story is designed to be a quick, light read, her words contain a depth of observation that will keep readers thinking long after they have closed the cover of the book.
In this follow-up book to Inspirations From The Everyday, Tandy Balson continues to take everyday things and present them through eyes that see a greater meaning. Dragonflies, Snowdrifts and Spice Cake is a wonderfully positive and insightful collection. The author takes the most mundane, everyday object or event and recognizes a greater significance, drawing parallels and making connections that most people would never notice. With each story being only a single page long, the pacing of the collection is very good, making it very hard to put down. "I'll just read one more... Okay, so one more, but that's it... well, one more won't hurt..." Janet Layberry, Editor, FriesenPress
