'The Waiting Game' by Eileen Button is a wonderful book. In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I began reading it as soon as the postman brought it at around 11am (last Saturday), and finished it 12 hours later. And it's not that it's a quick read, but that it is so enjoyable. Mrs. Button is down-to-earth and very appealing. The chapters are auto-biographical and are set in chronological order. She talks honestly about hardship, God's grace, and her frustrations with being a pastor's wife---all the while being a touch rebellious.
For anyone who needs a dose of reality, this is the book to pick up. In fact, if I was swimming in money, I'd buy a box of copies to give out. I just hope Mrs. Button writes more. She's a treasure.
