Pots, Pans & Peace--The Legacy of Margaret Corey

The Great Depression of 1929 hit Margaret Corey like a white-out blizzard. She was pregnant, her husband Arthur lost his job, and bills were piling up. Arthur slogged the streets, not only searching for work but also for an answer to the hunger in his soul. God found him, filled him with passion for the Gospel, and called him to full-time ministry. 'I don't have the faith for that!' cried Margaret. 'Your faith will have to suffice for both of us.' So begins a life of learning to trust God and her husband--an iron-minded, unconventional, and miracle-praying preacher. From a trove of treasured keepsakes, Eleanor Corey summons the authentic, but self-deprecating voice of her mother Margaret. Facing pressure cookers of deprivation, self-denial, and heartache, the resilient matriarch chooses priorities of perseverance and prayer. At times witty, at times heart-rending, but always relevant, Margaret Corey provides an inspirational example of life lived to its fullest within the unpredictable parameters apportioned to her...all the while raising from hardscrabble beginnings those ten children whose innovations and adventures are chronicled in the author's first book: Sticks, Stones & Songs-The Corey Story .
