Well!  After the Great Book Cleanout of several weeks ago, I couldn’t find my copy of this book and was very distressed to think that I might have thrown it out.  I do go back and re-read it periodically, and it means a great deal to me, so I was greatly relieved when it turned up.

I quoted Anne in the “eliminate and concentrate” post last week.  She was a tremendously talented and energetic woman who was a pastor’s wife, author, composer, and speaker.  I’m sorry that I never got to hear her speak in person, but reading this book is almost as good.  I would strongly urge you, if you’ve never done so, to get hold of a copy.  It’s quite short, only 132 pages in my edition, so you don’t have to make a major investment of time to read it.
