When Regina Brett turned 50, she wrote a column on the 50 lessons life had taught her. She reflected on all she had learned through becoming a single parent, looking for love in all the wrong places, working on her relationship with God, battling cancer and making peace with a difficult childhood. It became one of the most popular columns ever published in the newspaper, and since then the 50 lessons have been emailed to hundreds of thousands of people.
Brett now takes the 50 lessons and expounds on them in essays that are deeply personal. From “Don’t take yourself too seriously-Nobody else does” to “Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift,” these lessons will strike a chord with anyone who has ever gone through tough times–and haven’t we all?

What a wonderful book. I would love to have this for my mum, she’s turning sixty-five next month and the small doses of wisdom would be heartwarming. Thanks in advance.

So many questions, a world filled with strife, a heart filled with pain; Lord Jesus here my prayer. Teach me how to listen. Guide me to answers.
