(Atlanta, GA) – Unemployment, foreclosures, divorce, bankruptcy and cancer don’t even begin to peel the skin off all the bad news in our world today. At a time in history when the evening news contains more bad than good, people wonder if sweeter days will ever come. In steps James (Jim) Watkins. With a fresh perspective on life, love and the pursuit of happiness, Watkins serves readers a refreshing cup of encouragement and hope.
Written from his own experiences with cancer, unemployment and other lifepuckering crises, Jim prompts readers to look at the cup of suffering with eyes focused on the true thirst quencher—Jesus Christ. Readers will be pleasantly surprised at the balance of readability and deep wisdom offered within the pages of Squeezing Good Out Of Bad. With scripture references, humor-filled lists, and a creative manuscript, James Watkins brings the bitterness of hard times and blends it with the sweetness of God’s presence. He’s been there. His transparency is as refreshing as, you guessed it, a tall, cool glass of lemonade. A book that will make you laugh, think, and start looking at those sour places of life in a whole new way. I really enjoyed reading it.
