Because I Said So

Because I Said So

by Celine Sparks

How many times did your mother assrt her authority with "Because I said so"? Most maternal catchphrasess go deeper than the playroom or the kitchen table. "Can't never could" isn't just about spelling homework and "You can't have your cake and eat it, too" isn't just about dessert. Because I said so tickles and spanks you simultaneously. Celine says, "This book celebrates the advantage of Christian living over ordinary living, and makes sure the line between the two is never blurred. The study is not only a humorous journey back in time, but a suitcase of support for the journey ahead."

God expects us to be His in every situation. Celine Sparks, humorist for Christian Woman magazine, hits us where we live with warnings and exhortations based on her own mother's pithy sayings. Sample chapters: ''More Money than Sense'' (Materialism), ''Don't Go Hunting without Your Gun'' (Consistent Bible Study), and ''Pray for Gettin' Somewhere and Sittin' Down'' (Peace amid Chaos).
