I Can See Myself in His Eyeballs

God Is Closer Than You Think

De: Chonda Pierce

Narrado por: Chonda Pierce

What would it be like to get so close to God that we could see ourselves in his eyeballs? Not because we want to look at ourselves, but because we want to be that close to him--to the mysterious, wonderful, invisible God who reveals himself even in temptations, trials, and dangers.

Can you see God when your husband gets a speeding ticket? What about when your daughter wrecks her grandfather's truck? Is he watching while you drive down the road in a Chevette held together by wire coat hangers?

With her usual sense of southern humor, Chonda Pierce invites us to open our eyes and our sense of humor as she teaches us how to catch God at work, especially in the most unlikely places. Like the time she got her ears pierced--contrary to the advice of her mother. She walked out of the jewelry store, saw two nuns, took them as a sign from God, and never wore pierced earrings again.

Chonda the comedian has touched thousands of women around the country, from stage or on video. "To see or hear her is to love her," is the unanimous response. But in her writing, Chonda brings a whole new depth of insight into her humor--humor that enables readers to dispel all gloom and experience the joy of the closeness of God in their everyday lives.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Pierce's tales of woe always end with a joyful exclamation of God's triumphant provision, transcendent of time and circumstance. Her many fans will enjoy this quirky balance of faith and fun." (Publishers Weekly)

Thought provoking, funny, faith building

Seeing Chonda in concert made me want to explore more of her work. Hearing this book read by her was awsome. It was neat to hear her talking in a calm manner with such personal inflection. This book really brought everyday events into a relm of Godlyness like I hadn't seen before. It is funny, sad, thought provoking, serious, and genuine. A must read for any believer and one to share with those who need to believe.

Sweet old fashioned memories

Reminds me to capture memories by living in them. not through the other side of a camera phone.

Southern storytelling

I love her enthusiasm & love of the Lord. Her ability to tell a story makes you almost visualize her words.

cute

This book is a compilation of stories from the author's life. She is southern and has that sweet accent (reminds me of a few people I know).

It made me laugh, cry, and helped me to see God in places that I have never seen him before.

My four year old son even asked to listen to it in the car and never made a peep while it was playing.

I enjoyed it.
