About the Book:
In How’d I Miss That? popular podcaster Cynthia Yanof shares the lighthearted, awkward, and occasional should-she-be-telling-us-this? moments that prove life is more than professional ladders, night sweats, and frantically searching for your phone. (Hint: It’s in your hand.) Turns out, the seemingly small things―like availability and generosity, friendship and forgiveness―aren’t so small after all.
So grab a Diet Coke and pull up a chair for some laugh-out-loud moments as Cynthia shares:
- Biblical assurances that’s it’s not just the “big” moments God uses to bring light into our homes, our workplaces, and our communities
- Inspiration for living each day with grace and forgiveness―for others and ourselves
- Funny and heartfelt examples of finding ordinary ways to live out extraordinary faith
- Comical reminders that some of the holiest moments happen with spinach in our teeth and our shirt tucked into our Spanx
For every woman who thought she’d change the world but now mostly changes the toilet paper roll (again), How’d I Miss That? reminds us that tiny acts of faith, sown daily, grow into something beautiful for God.
My Review:
Yanof has quite a sense of humor. She is able to tell a funny story yet relate a spiritual truth right along with it. She can easily make fun of herself but she also includes some really serious experiences. My favorite section was on generosity. I usually think of money but she reminded me to be generous in so many ways. I can say an encouraging word to a parent about their child. I can be willing to help another in a difficult time.
This is a good book for Christians who have grown up in the church. Yanof includes so many funny stories of her church and youth group experiences. But you have to be willing to laugh at yourself while also receiving a dose of spiritual teaching.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
