Adult/Young Adult Book

 

How do you do life?

How do you live with more joy and less struggle?

How do you avoid the pitfalls that stop you in your tracks?

Navigation through life’s corkscrew adventure can seem a bewildering process, but there are many ways to face the challenges and as a result feel happier, clearer and that your life matters.

Motivated by her desire to share what she wished she’d known earlier in life and informed by the incomparable work of minister, author, and international lecturer, Dr. Edna Lister, Lauren Burnett realized we need to be better prepared for how to do life. Now in this young adult book, Back Pocket Insights on How to Do Life, Lauren Burnett shares personal stories and insights on how to be and give your best, deepen relationships and navigate life with God on your side.

Insightful, uplifting, and often humorous, this young adult book is a memorable gift for graduations, birthdays, holidays, or “just because”. The short stories enable bite-size reads and are a ready reference on how to make your way in life.

A key message is: “You are uniquely designed to create the life you desire with your magnificent mind, heart, and soul.”

REVIEWS

“As a proud Grandfather of five, I would wholeheartedly recommend “Marshmallow Toast”. It was a fun read and filled with not only an engaging story but beautiful illustrations. I can’t wait for more! With so many children’s books out today,  please feel good that, as I believe, this book will become a favorite with your kids, grandkids, and on to next generations!”  —  Ken Goldblatt, father and grandpa

“A delightful read that subtly helps kids explore a plethora of feelings and also encourages creativity and determination! Just be sure to have a few select ingredients on hand; kids will surely want to try marshmallow toast after reading this one-of-a-kind story!!” – L.B., mom and teacher

 


 

Elisa-Kay’s favorite place in the whole wide world is her family’s summer cottage. It’s on a lake so clear you can see the bottom, and it’s a wonderful, fun place where she and her cousins have many exciting adventures.

Will an ordinary summer day spent with Nana turn out to be an extra-special day when Elisa-Kay tries to fly so high?
