by Patsy Clairmont
Kaleidoscope is a collection of writings on verses from Proverbs written by Patsy Clairmont, who many women know from Women of Faith conferences. With her characteristic wit and side-splitting humor, Clairmont tackles the subjects you would expect a book on Proverbs to cover: truth, wisdom, diligence, fear, and, of course, the Proverbs 31 woman.
Clairmont likens Proverbs to a “four-mirrored kaleidoscope that gives a parade of images.” Within the tumbling, seemingly unorganized array of proverbs, she finds beauty, truth, and practical insights for daily living. With a combination of often humorous anecdotes and personal reflection, Clairmont sheds new light on familiar proverbs. Reading Patsy Clairmont is almost like listening to her at Women of Faith because Patsy writes just like she speaks - with levity and grace. While Clairmont keeps it light, she is always authentic. Never more so than when she shares her own struggles with debilitating fear and her faltering journey to healing and wholeness.
Kaleidoscope reads like a conversation with a good friend.Kaleidoscope covers 32 proverbs in an easy-to-read, devotional format, perfect for a personal quiet time, small-group study, or when you’re asked to give a devotional. I give Kaleidoscope two thumbs up.
