Review "Deanna's stories are engaging. Her writing flows like a comfy conversation. Her reflections on God's love are instructive and inspiring. Wow!" Karen Kramer Farris"Before reading this wonderfully insightful and delightfully human book, I used to look at every road sign with nonchalance. Now I see and hear the hand and voice of God urging me on, loving me, and gently reminding me of His presence and guidance. Thank you, Deanna!" Rev. Dr. Robin Dugall
From the Back Cover I scrambled out of the car, slammed the door, and kicked the rear tire. Squinting into the harsh glare of a flashlight, my first words were louder than necessary. "If you're going to ticket me, then ticket me! I just want to get home." Not giving the police officer a change to respond, I continued, still annoyed, still defiantly frustrated, "I'm tired. Really--I just want to get home!"

By Gail Welborn From the prologue to the epilog and the eleven chapters in between, northwest native Deanna Nowadnick's new spiritual memoir, Signs in Life is a refreshingly authentic, inspiring and often humorous read. She blends personal experiences with Old Testament Bible stories for how to "find direction in our travels with God," the subtitle of her new release. Because she believes life, like an artist's masterpiece, contains "lessons in perspective." She writes "...road and directional signs are an important part of safe travel and they are everywhere..." In a similar manner she believes God's spiritual guidance "directs and redirects" our lives through Bible stories and life experiences that equip us to follow God and find God's purpose for our lives. Fashioned from God's promise in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (NIV)However, just as road signs for safe driving can be ignored or missed, we can also miss or ignore God's spiritual guidance when we're distracted, preoccupied or too busy to pay attention. That's when flares of impatience, temper or critical attitudes reveal a selfish self-centeredness instead of the often needed examples of divine guidance.While chapters capture the book's broader theme with topical titles such as "yield, stop and wrong way," Deanna's personal experiences blend with stories from the book of Exodus to offer realistic perspectives of what it means to live under God's grace.When she describes a "late night encounter with law enforcement" that results in a speeding ticket or having a bad attitude when she gathers everyone's luggage but her own which means she has no makeup on vacation or impatience with a driver who takes too long at an espresso drive-through, she captures spiritual conditions common to us all.Deanna believes in God's divine guidance and feels our lives are important because they are part of a greater "chapter in God's great story." That's why in her travels she looks for "God's divine direction" which is often only found when she pauses to reflect. Because of that she includes five questions at chapters end designed to encourage memories of brief moments when you, like Deanna, were brought up short by the "harness of God's grace." It's these moments, what she describes as "teachable moments" that help shape you into the person you are today.I described Deanna's writing as spiritually refreshing when I reviewed her first book, Fruit of my Spirit in 2012. Now, her second book, Signs in Life reveals a writer who continues to hone her craft, engage readers and leave them wanting more. "Signs in Life" would make a wonderful gift for anyone with questions about what comes next, but it would be especially good for a high school or college graduate.'Signs in Life: Finding Direction in Our Travels with God,' by Deanna Nowadnick, Rhododendron Books, 2015, 144 Pages, 978-0983589754, $12.95Midwest Book Reviews: "Gail's Bookshelf" March 2016Pinterest: GailWelbornTwitter: @GailWelbornFaceBook: Gail Welborn
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Is God trying to tell you something by the path you are on in life? By Pirate2240 We see them almost everywhere we look, more especially when we are driving. Signs. Wrong Way. Turn Right. Stop.Yield. School Zone. Rest Area. One Way. Road Narrows. Scenic Viewpoint. No U-Turn. Construction Zone. Yet how many times do we look at these signs as meaning something more. Perhaps the direction we are headed in life might just be the "wrong way." Perhaps our way over what God has in mind for us, and we won't change course, until circumstances happen that cause us to re-evaluate those plans. Perhaps the reason we receive a ticket isn't to make the city money for your oversight but to help you realize that when we plow ahead with our plans and leave God behind, He will find a way to bring us back on the path that He has chosen for us instead. So why do we fight it? Why do we struggle to have it our way over His way?Deanna Nowadnick takes readers into her own memoir in Signs in Life: Finding Direction in Our Travels with God. She illustrates some of those unique moments in her own life, that now of course, looking back in hindsight offers that precious view that God has always had of our parade. While we were just watching it one part at a time, He sees it in its entirety from beginning to end. How wonderful His plans are for us, over what we struggle to challenge Him with in taking over our own life, thinking at times that we know better than the One who created us. Along with her personal look back at those choices she so openly shares with us, she also invites readers to journey through some exceptional parallels in stories taken from the Bible that seem to mirror one another. At the conclusion of each chapter, she offers readers a Rest Area, to take a hard look at their own life and see how some life questions she poses might just help us see these "signs" with a little more clarity, when viewed from perhaps the way God sees them.I received Signs in Life: Finding Direction in Our Travels with God from Deanna Nowadnick compliments from the author herself for an honest review of this book. I did not receive any monetary compensation, aside from a free copy of the book for my honest evaluation. While I can honestly say it wasn't my favorite book, it does offer some probing looks into our own choices we make in life. I know if I were to write something favorable people may or may not like the stories I share from my own personal life, but that is the beauty of writing a memoir. It keeps our memories alive by the stories we share. Whether from telling them to someone else or reading them through a book like this. Connections are made. Relationships can be restored, and lessons can be learned through shared similar experiences and for that I applaud Deanna for putting it out there for others to learn from the things she has shared in this book and perhaps that was just what she had in mind in writing this, for us to take a self evaluation of what stories we would share and perhaps tell them while we still have time to those that can benefit from them. In this reader's opinion, I'd give this one a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
