Discover the repurposed and upcycled life. With her laugh-out-loud Erma Bombeck way of looking at life, Michelle will help you see how some of your greatest disappointments, mistakes, and hurts can be beautiful treasures from God. Part memoir, part inspiration and self-help, this book will help you: Through inspiration from God's Word and examples from everyday life, you'll discover the joy-filled, hope-rich way of viewing your past, present, and future.

I found this book to be a very excellent tool to help me gain a new perspective in life.  Rayburn uses humor and everyday things to get her point across.  She is a down-to-earth, been there done that, speaks from experience author.  She relates to her readers.  Repurposed and Upcycled is a very encouraging and inspirational book to read.
