"Thoughts To Ponder"

This new gift style book by Kathie Lee Gifford may be small but it packs one powerful punch! You'll want to add this book to your own keeper shelf and then run out to the bookstore and buy two or three more for your friends and family.

Kathie combined family photos, scenic photographs, reflections on her own life and special scriptures to remind us of God's constant and gentle grace in our lives. Several times throughout the book including the dedication, Kathie will pay homage to her daddy who passed away in November of 2002. Kathie has a wonderful way with words and many times mentions that her daddy is one of the main reasons for her faith and her desire to walk with God.

After being a fan of Kathie's ever since her days on "Live", it was an inspiration to me to read how she has overcome some of the public obstacles she has had to face and still be able to hold her head high and be a woman of faith. I think most women will be able to identify with the special peeks into Kathie's life that are then followed by scripture that match the same theme.

"Tender Savior, gracious Lord How can I express My grateful heart for all you do How You love, how You lead, how You bless Gentle Savior, loving Lord How can I repay The debt I owe for all You've done Every moment, every hour everyday Gentle grace, gentle grace Amazing, tender, gentle grace I lift my hands, lift up my face To thank all of heaven For Your love and Your gentle grace Tender Jesus, gracious King Receive my gift of praise Look beyond my broken heart Father, look at the offering I raise" Kathie Lee Gifford & Phil Sillas
