may be, a
party is likely to erupt. And with friends like Bill and Gloria

just might
get out of hand. An ordinary gathering becomes an all-out

name-dropper, Sue can hardly resist gossiping about well-known
friends She dishes a bit of the n e w s y, a bundle of the
nosy, and absolutely none of the nasty. Sue has the answers
to your wildest questions: How many pairs of shoes does Sheila
Walsh have? Where does Jerry Jenkins pen his best-selling
novels? What kind of pajamas does Vestal Goodman wear? Why
did Liz Curtis Higgs leave her Christmas tree up all year?

friends along with mouth-watering recipes, uplifting songs,
time management hints, and plenty of ideas for creating a
“party in the heart” lifestyle. Scattered throughout
are emergency Scriptures—for when your heart has “done
run out of party!” “Celebrating is a mind set,”
says Sue. “It’s embracing all that is delightful,
fanciful, and imaginative.” Whether it’s a birthday,
an anniversary, or just a Tuesday after-noon. A Party Begins
in the Heart will encourage you to celebrate every day.
A Party
Begins in the Heart offers Sue Buchanan’s distinctive
blend of practical and preposterous ideas for entertaining
guests and celebrating day-to-day life. As a survivor of breast
cancer, Sue communicates with authority the necessity of rejoicing
in spite of circumstances—yes, she even celebrated through
chemotherapy. Sharing whimsical wisdom ("celebrate feeding
the cat") and offering unlikely advice with her merry
and witty look at life and God, inspirational speaker Sue
Buchanan charms audiences everywhere she goes.

“When
you pick up a book by Sue you are guaranteed several things.
You will laugh loudly, learn a lot and want to pass it on
to your friends.”
Sheila Walsh Author of Living Fearlessly and keynote
speaker at Women of Faith conferences.
 “Sue
Buchanan writes like she speaks, with lots of exclamation
points!! And why not, when you're throwing a party as fun
as this one? Sue really is the original party girl, but beneath
all the light-hearted fun is a deep-seated faith in Christ
that shines even brighter than her gaudiest outfit. Party
on, sister!” Liz Curtis Higgs Author of Help! I'm
Laughing and I Can't Get Up and Bad Girls of the Bible.
“It's
great to know how many pairs of shoes Sheila Walsh has or
what kind of pajamas Vestal wears. But what I really want
to know is, who does Bill Gaither's hair? Sue didn’t
tell half the dirt she has on most of us. Will the next book
include arrest records and incriminating photos? My mama doesn’t
give her fajita recipe to just anyone! A Party Begins in the
Heart is worth the price for that alone. Sue shares lots of
gossip that you can't get just anywhere.” Mark
Lowry Author of Live Long and Die Laughing and star of the
video Mark Lowry on Broadway.

 I'm
Alive and the Doctor's Dead ... Surviving Cancer With Your Sense
of Humor and Your Sexuality Intact.
There is life during and after cancer.
This
book is here to say, "ignore the nay-sayers, ignore the statistics.
The computer doesn't know you ... cherish the moments and look
for the rainbows. As for statistics, it's all just fairy dust".
When the doctor pronounces a patient "as good as dead," does she
have to take it lying down? "No way!" says Sue Buchanan, who outlived
the doctor who predicted she'd die of breast cancer fifteen year
ago.
I'm Alive and the Doctor's Dead is a high-spirited manifesto
for any woman who is facing a medical verdict she doesn't want
to hear. Buchanan tells her story and assures women that there
is life—and a lot of it—during and after cancer. Warm, funny,
and very, very honest, this encouraging book offers practical
help and hope for women suffering from breast cancer.

| Confessions
of Four Friends Through Thick & Thin
... now that we're old enough to know better.
How
would you complete the sentence, "Now that I'm old enough to
know better...?" This is your opportunity to sit down and swap
notes with four fellow travelers who've given  plenty
of thought to how they would fill in the blank.
Gloria
Gaither, Peggy Benson, Sue Buchanan and Joy MacKenzie have been
friends for a long time-long enough to enjoy rediscovering daily
the wisdom and delight of being kids at heart. As Gloria puts it,
"We've wise up so much that none of us ever intends to grow
up! So four little girls in grandmothers' bodies invite you to come
over for tea in our back yard. We have some confessions to make!"
Confessions?
You bet! Confessions about life's ups and downs, about family, about
God's faithfulness in times of irrepressible laughter and indescribable
loss. Confessions of Four Friends Through Thick and Thin takes you
on a journey-sometimes delightful, sometimes difficult, always unpredictable-from
the days of roller skates and baby doll carriages, through years
of new adventures with the coming and going, gaining and losing
of business ventures and families, to a sense of satisfaction that
comes with maturity.
If
you love to laugh and ponder and stretch your thinking, look inside
and savor the rich laughter and wisdom of four women who know life
well. Through the best and worst of times, these good friends have
discovered together the treasure of authentic faith, the humor that
comes from perspective, the confidence in skills long cultivated,
the poignancy of tears, and the zaniness of losing youthful inhibitions.
Punctuated
with song lyrics, prayers, and whimsical illustrations this book
will help clear your vision, enlarge your heart, and deepen your
relationship with the Savior, who loves you and holds your hand
throughout this surprising pilgrimage called life.
