About the Book:
Penny Wiseintroduces us to yet another family in "the neighborhood"---the Jaspers, busy with demanding jobs, busy with church, busy volunteering, parents of three active teenagers, juggling sometimes crazy schedules. All good things. Until all those "good things" feed into a series of crises that affects the whole family. Something's gotta change!
The third in the Windy City Neighbors series, Penny Wise is a contemporary peek at an urban family wrestling with the spiritual and practical challenges of real life. The series employs the innovating storytelling technique of "parallel novels," each with its own drama and story arc, but whose characters' lives become intertwined with their neighbors and affect one another. Welcome to Beecham Street---a typical, isolated American neighborhood that is beginning to come out of its shell . . . for better or worse.

My Thoughts:
“I’m so glad I learned to trust thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend.
And I know that thou are with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.” (p. 302)
Once again, Neta and Dave Jackson have allowed me to live
among the dear folks that live on Beecham Street in the suburbs of
Chicago. This installment of the Windy
City Neighbors series takes us into the home and lives of the Jasper
family. Michelle, Jared, Tabby, Tavis
and Destin create a world of their own that spins 100-miles-an-hour wide
open. Jared and Michelle often feel
overwhelmed by the responsibility of raising three teens, working full-time and
being active in their church and community.
Every moment of every day is simply bulging at the seams with activity!!
And then….God shows up and shows
out in profound and unexpected ways and carries this precious family into
relationship with Him in very personal and specific ways. By the time you “listen” to Shareece Watson sing “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus”
you will be on your feet weeping and praising God! There are some significant, raw and painful
moments in the lives of the Beecham street neighbors. But you will be longing to enter their homes
and lives once again the moment you read the final page!
I absolutely adore the Jackson’s
ability to create such strong, transparent, vulnerable characters! Their struggles mirror the lives of those you
encounter every day, and God’s longsuffering, and tender wooing to His heart
just makes my own heart soar with promise!!
Don’t miss one single minute of this brilliant series!
