"Dear Lord, every day I hit the highways and byways, list in hand, confident that I know where I'm going and how to get there.  But when I hit a detour or have a breakdown, I realize I'm not really in control.  Remind me, Lord, not to be too dependent on"things" or routines.  I should only be dependent on You. Ride with me and help me remember that I am the traveler but YOU are in the driver's seat!" From Goulash, Garage Sales & God.

Capturing typical day-to-day moments, Bernadette McCarver Snyder shares with us how the simple and ordinary often turn into the extraordinary, if we are willing to look. In this collection of humorous and inspirational stories, Snyder helps us to identify with "the 'goulash' of life that can be mixed-up but delicious, the fun of finding 'treasures' in the garage or where you least expect it, and of course, the warm welcoming grace of God everywhere."

Bernadette McCarver Snyder is the author of more than 20 humorous and inspirational books, including There's a Bee in My Begonias: Garden Paths and Prayers and Paper Bag Prayers.

"God made me do it," she says. "I had planned to write the great American novel but when I sat down at the typewriter, God laughed and sent me in a new direction." Since then, Bernadette McCarver Snyder has had 32 humor/inspiration books published-and over half are the products of Liguori Publications. Her other publishers include Ave Maria Press, Twenty-Third Publications, and Servant. She also wrote the humorous "Mother's Meditation" column for Our Sunday Visitor for l5 years.

Bernadette is known for books full of snickers and surprises for children, including her popular "Fun Facts" Series, and her wit, wisdom and reverence shine through in her books for adults such as There's a Bee in my Begonias, Sunny Side Up, and the long-time bestseller, Graham Crackers, Galoshes and God; Everywoman's Book of Cope and Hope. Her newest titles include Paper Bag Prayers: Finding God in Little Things, Any Time, Any Place for adults and 131 Fun-damental Facts for Catholic Kids. She says her idea of spirituality is a little laugh and a little prayer - and she is praying you will enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoys writing them.
