God Never Blinks. 50 Lessons That Will Change Your Life

This woman was tested by life from childhood. "I always felt that at the moment of my birth, God surely blinked. He missed this event, not even realizing that I had come into the world." Regina was the eleventh child in her family and felt like a "forgotten kitten from a large litter." At 16, she was already drowning her problems in alcohol, at 21 she gave birth and raised her daughter alone, and at 41 she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which she overcame. Regina Brett is a renowned American journalist who has been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize twice in the Commentary category and has received numerous awards for her journalistic work. The 50 lessons are reflections on what Regina learned while being a single mother, searching for love where there was none, working on her relationship with God, battling cancer, and trying to reconcile with painful childhood memories. Regina published her lessons in a column in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and it quickly became one of the most popular columns in the newspaper's history. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people around the world have received the 50 lessons via email. Regina Brett is quoted at weddings, graduations, in Sunday schools, anniversaries, and more. In this book, Regina Brett has transformed 50 lessons into deeply personal, sometimes humorous, and often moving essays. This wise, kind, very emotional book will make readers reflect on their lives and help make it a little better.
