For some, the true nature of wisdom can come as a surprise in the form of humor. Humor can cut to the core of a problem or situation and give someone a new perspective on many of life’s difficulties. Aristotle once said, “The secret to humor is surprise.” In author Lois E. Scott’s book If You Want To Soar with Eagles, Don’t Hang Out with Turkeys: Gems For Christian Living, a woman explores life’s biggest mysteries through humor and wisdom.
In this book, author Lois E. Scott showcases a plethora of humorous and thoughtprovoking quotes and one-liners from over the years that explore some of mankind’s greatest subjects and themes. From one’s relationship with religion and God to animals, children and faith as a whole, this book explores these subjects in straightforward, honest and oftentimes hilarious ways.
This was a refreshing and interesting read. The author has done a fabulous job of collecting a wide array of quotes and sayings from various sources that not only illustrate humor and wit, but wisdom that cuts to the core of both traditional and valuable life lessons and subjects. The book itself is fairly straightforward and quick to read, making this a book anyone can jump into.
This is a book for anyone who is religious, is seeking words of wisdom and humor to get through tough situations, and enjoys reading into short passages to determine even greater meanings. I found many of the sayings and passages held great volumes of wisdom and were humorous to read as well, making this a book people from all paths can get into. However, this book will most assuredly resound with those seeking religion or religious based humor and wisdom more so than anyone else.
This was a well written, thought-provoking and engaging read. A book of insight and charm, humor and wit, and most importantly words of wisdom that anyone can be moved by, author Lois E. Scott has done a marvelous job of collecting and writing these amazing sayings and one-liners in the book If You Want to Soar with Eagles, Don ’ t Hang Out with Turkeys: Gems For Christian Living.
