Shake the Dust - And Move on

Shake the Dust and Move on is a positive, inspiring book that reminds the reader that setbacks, failures, and misfortunes are a part of life, but they do not have to dominate a person's life.  While there are numerous "Stick to it and Succeed" themes in print, this book is about the power of letting go.  It recognizes that yielding can be as forceful as resisting and that letting go of negative emotions and situations frees individuals to use their energy and talent in creative, productive ways.

The author calls upon her own experience as a counselor, wife, and mother of three adult children.  She reveals how she has personally shaken the dust from some tough situations and moved on.  There are also inspiring quotes and examples from the lives of famous people who have overcome many obstacles.  The book examines some of life's most challenging issues and encourages readers to lead overcoming lives themselves.

This book is based on scripture and provides biblical models to support its theme.  It is a concise, easy to read book packed with life-changing opportunities for readers to make their own personal applications.  In addition, the author uses her skills as a teacher to provide stimulating questions for further thought and discussion at the end of each chapter--making this an excellent book for personal or small group study.
