“She asked for her errand from God even though she already had too much to do.”
Bringing her trademark candor, wry wit, and warmth, award-winning author Margaret Agard gives us a smart, funny and timeless memoir appealing to both skeptics and believers, alike.
Already overwhelmed with her five-page long to-do list thanks to a new marriage, two sons facing the tumultuous teen years, and work as a computer consultant, she’s asked to organize care for all the women of her church from the new young mothers to grieving widows. In desperation, she turns her list over to God.
“This was a treasure for me because I am a list maker”

Amazon ReviewerThat’s when her new life began. Within weeks her to-do list was empty even though she had spent little time on it. Instead, God led her on a journey of service that brought her into constant contact with His great love, teaching her innumerable life lessons along the way.
“I liked the spunk and matter of fact way the author describes her daily walk with God. I liked the bits and pieces of wisdom throughout. It was a breath of fresh air from what I’m used to reading. It has little to do with productivity and everything to do with being led by the Spirit and serving others by asking God what to do every day.“

Agard brings both profound insight and self-deprecating humor to the simplest of these moments. Each finely crafted piece illuminates the small and great events of a woman who chooses to be led by God. Written with strength and compassion the whole creates a memorable experience, that lingers long after the memoir is finished.
“I turn to it often when I need a pick me up, or just a good laugh. As I’m reading it I always feel enlightened.”
