When God Makes Lemonade: True Stories That Amaze and Encourage

by Don Jacobson

Overview

Do you know someone who needs some encouragement? Perhaps that someone is you.

In When God Makes Lemonade, author Don Jacobson has collected real-life stories from around the world that show everyday folks discovering unexpected sweetness in the midst of sour circumstances. Some are funny, others are sobering, and more than a few will bring tears of amazement. But these true stories all have one thing in common: hope.

There's no question that life gives us "lemons," like issues with health, employment, and relationships. But when those lemons become lemonade, it's as refreshing as a cold drink on a hot summer day.

It's true that in life "stuff" happens, but as you'll see in these stories, Lemonade Happens too!

Editorial Reviews

"Don Jacobson is an author who reads his own work with skill. Here 68 short stories illustrate how God turns life's lemons into lemonade. This work is the first in an ongoing series. Jacobson's polished performances and powerful characterizations illustrate a variety of flawed characters, painful situations, and difficult circumstances that listeners will quickly identify with. The author's personal story of accidentally shooting himself and experiencing a marvelous encounter with God afterwards begins the collection. He delivers topics such as death with dignity, unwanted pregnancies, and divine encounters in a crisp, clear baritone. Although all the stories recount difficult situations, each ends with inspiration and hope as Jacobson captures the unexpected blessings of God's grace."
