Book Description

Stories of life, love, and laughter. In this storybook for adults, you will meet Silly Gunkle, Momo, Grantie, GiGi and Gramps—all adults, mind you, and all real-life characters. Phil, the storyteller, is a middle-aged pastor experienced in imparting spiritual wisdom, whose life is disrupted and forever changed by a precocious three-year-old named Naomi, his granddaughter and the book's central character. Thursdays with Naomi is a wonderfully readable reflection in which both Gramps and Naomi have something keenly important to say. It is a gift to all who have forgotten to make time lately to stand still, to laugh at themselves, or even to crazy-dance. If that's you, read this book slowly, and then listen more closely to this little child, and expect to be amazed. ------------------------------------ "This book gets four stars from me." — Dr. Tony Campolo, Professor Emeritus, Eastern University "These heartwarming, endearing, and oh-so-relatable vignettes from a pastor's relationship with his young granddaughter provide wise metaphors for how God views each of us." — Carol Kent, author, When I Lay My Isaac Down
