Description
Sharp Sticks is a compilation of witty and compelling essays about life as a wife, mother and follower of Jesus Christ. Jackson's stories reflect the paradox of the human condition: true hope and joy arise from both suffering and bliss. She candidly writes with eyes to see the extraordinary amidst the ordinary, and renders laughter all the while. Jackson draws from her life experiences in a contemplative, yet not overly introspective, way --- striking a difficult balance of reverence and endearing self-deprecation. Her worldview shines through even in everyday moments, and spurs on the reader to recognize that their life, too, is divinely, and joyfully, orchestrated.
