Odd, Funny, and Flawed

Growing up during the 1960s, Jolene found herself in a dilemma. Though she had accepted the Lord as her savior, she was determined not to be bound by doctrinal theology. She became involved with the Jesus People movement in California and was engaged to one of the leaders who was a recovering alcoholic. Praying earnestly for God's will, the Lord directed her to a Bible school in Wisconsin. She was shocked when, after attending for two semesters, the school asked her not to return. She wasn't dishonest, immoral or rebellious, she just liked to live "outside the box".
Odd, Funny, and Flawed is a delightfully written collection of stories spanning a lifetime. Heart-wrenching emotions can suddenly turn into bursts of laughter. Odd incidents emerge as priceless memories and smiles melt into tears. Events fill the pages that only God could have orchestrated. With a journal by her side, Jolene recorded things as they happened, capturing unpredictable surprises, disappointing expectations, and sorrowful tragedies. Many instances she gave over to the Lord, trusting Him completely, some He brought her through kicking and screaming. Then there were times God granted her prayers, turning perceived blessings into lessons. As the chapters unfold, God reveals Himself and His faithfulness. Come along on a faith-filled journey full of tears, laughter, and most of all, God's unending love.
