Reviews
People have always looked at Ford funny. "As a child," She writes, "I blamed my family, that odd, five-member cast of cartoon characters that always walked along the sidewalk in single file so that real families could pass by intact." The older she got, the more often she blamed herself - for the death of three grandparents in six weeks; for harassment from a trusted counsel∨ for humiliation in a succession of controlling churches; for feeling ignored by God. Dulling the pain, she spent her young adult years in an alcoholic haze. Eventually her friend Eileen, who "always, always puts her verbs at the beginning of a sentence," ordered her to "give it up. Tell God you'll never have another drink again." Ford obeyed, but she continued to feel like a misfit despite a good marriage and professional success as a writer and editor. Then a sudden health crisis jolted her out of constant attempts to meet others' expectations. During a subsequent retreat, "I found the courage to look at myself and...hear the cry of my own heart." Ford's story, though serious, is not dark. Introverted, self-deprecating, perfectionistic and depressive, she is Woody Allen pursued by Jesus Christ. If there is a flaw in her captivating account, it is her leap from God-haunted despair to cheerful eccentricity in just one chapter. That chapter is full of clues as to what made the difference, but from a self-described "overthinker," it is not quite enough. Let's hope she is leaving room for a sequel. (Feb.) ( Publishers Weekly, January 27, 2003)

Synopsis
"In a sense, of course, all believers are strangers in a strange land-- some, as they say, are just stranger than others. That would be my friends and me." Like Marcia Ford, most of us have felt, at one time or another, as if we are on a different wavelength from the rest of the world. Try as we might, we don't fit in-- not in society and certainly not in the church. Despite our best efforts at camouflage, despite our hopes that we may finally have found a group of kindred believers, people still look at us funny. But if we stop to think about it, we're not in bad company. After all, Jesus was something of a misfit in His day, too. In this funny, fresh, and frank memoir, Marcia Ford chronicles her spiritual journey as a self-proclaimed misfit, telling the engaging story of one woman's efforts to fit into both society and the Christian church. Candid about her shortcomings and her sneaking suspicion that she may really be a square peg in a round hole, Marcia discovers that it is precisely because of her uniqueness that she is able to claim God's abundant grace and come to experience God more fully., The true tale of a Prodigal Daughter and her return to a spiritual home. Marcia Ford"s funny, fresh, and frank memoir chronicles the spiritual journey of a self-proclaimed misfit. She is witty, quirky, and candid about her shortcomings and her sneaking suspicion that she may really be a square peg in a round hole., "In a sense, of course, all believers are strangers in a strange land- some, as they say, are just stranger than others.

It is through Ford's own uniqueness (her so-called "misfittedness") that she is able to discover and claim God's abundant grace, and come to experience God more fully. Written for those of us who have ever felt alienated from God, from our churches, or even from ourselves, Ford's spiritual journey illuminates a pattern for reconciliation.

- _***d (6)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaEl artículo correspondía al de la descripción. Llegó quizá en un bolsa con poca protección por lo que el libro llegó con daños en la cubierta. Hablé con el vendedor y me ofreció muy amablemente un reembolso. Muy contento con el vendedor.
- l***c (29)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaItem in condition described. The shipment tracking was completely opaque and shipping was slow. The seller used a third-party shipping solution provider that gave a USPS tracking number, but, USPS had no real tracking info. I was not able to see any delivery estimate until the day before it arrived. When the delivery date estimate finally materialized, it was off by two days, saying arrival would be on e.g. the 5th when it actually arrived on the 3rd.
- b***3 (500)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaAs the title mentions awesomebooksusa, most books have been rarely awesome but the book prices have been almost generous, granted. Unbelievable services : 3 day international shipping, prompt dispatch, newly book condition, provided tracking, secure package, exactly received book, and safe deliveries. My gratitude to the seller’s thoughts of the needy buyers sending the wanted books to the new residence. Many thanks! Arabella
