Ever “eaten yourself into a stupor? Purchased items you didn’t need?
Or worked yourself to a frazzle?”
Patsy Clairmont confides, “Me, too.”

And that is what we love about both Patsy and her newest book, All Cracked Up. She doesn’t expect us to be perfect―Patsy knows from experience how fragile and broken people are.  But she also knows the power of redemption and the One who can mend our cracked up hearts, making them whole again.

The chapters are short and snappy (like Patsy herself), which makes All Cracked Up fun and easy to read.  But don’t make the mistake of thinking that fun equals fluff.  Each chapter ends with a series of “Cracked Up Questions” that will have you digging deep into the hidden places of your heart.    

Open All Cracked Up and you’ll find yourself pondering Michelangelo’s masterpieces, giggling over the exploits of granddog Cody, and learning why Christians are like cashews.  Patsy is in fine form as she shares her thoughts:

On impatience:  Checkout lines were designed to find out if our conversion to Christianity was authentic.

On accounting: My idea of balancing books is holding one in each hand.

On shoes: My husband owns two pairs. He purchased the second pair on a whim.

Read All Cracked Up and get ready to laugh yourself silly – and live yourself sane.  Because, as Patsy says, “It’s a mystery how life can be both fun and fractured. But there it is—all cracked up.”
