Can't Make This Stuff Up!

Finding the Upside to Life's Downs

By: Susannah B. Lewis

Narrated by: Susannah B. Lewis

In her highly-anticipated nonfiction debut, humorist, popular blogger, and USA Today best-selling author Susannah B. Lewis (Whoa! Susannah) uses dry wit and an eye for the absurd to find laughter in even the most challenging circumstances.

Millions of online fans have flocked to Susannah B. Lewis's hysterical, take-no-prisoners videos that capture her uproarious yet deeply faithful view of the world. Now she brings to book form her keen eye for the absurd as she reveals her experiences growing up in a small Tennessee town. From the time an escaped albino panther wandered into her backyard to the Thanksgiving when an egg in the table's centerpiece hatched a baby chicken to the kind neighbors who brought casseroles in Tupperware for months - even years - after her father died when she was just 11 years old, the stories she tells delve deeply into the rich culture of the South that molded her. Clinging to the promises of God in times of grief and looking for every opportunity to laugh, Lewis is the wry yet wise girl next door who invites you to sit a spell beside her on the front porch.

Hilarious and soul-feeding

I loved listening to Susannah’s stories, her southern drawl and the way she infused God’s teaching and Bible verses into everyday life stuff. I already want to listen to it again!

Great devotional!

I absolutely loved listening to this book. Susannah narrating her own stories couldn't get any better. There were a lot of moments listening in the car pickup line at school where I had to turn it off and wipe my tears before I pulled forward. Some happy tears, tears of affirmation, and just some topics that really hit home for me. I highly recommend this audio book for anyone who is always on the go, loves some good old fashioned southern humor, loves to listen to great stories, and needs a little more of the good word in their life (which, who doesn't?)

Amazing! So uplifting! I loved it!

Loved this book! I listened to it while cleaning my house and it was so uplifting and funny at parts! I highly recommend it!

Thank you!

I have had this book on Audible since it came out and I’ve listened here and there. You have completely helped me get a better grasp of how to deal with the loss of my sweet Daddy. I lost him September 21, 2018. I took complete care of him from the day he was diagnosed with cancer on April 25th. I always felt like how do I processed losing him and yet I couldn’t let go long enough to grieve. I have listened here and there but without knowing you described and fully hit real with losing your Sweet Momma. Thank you for helping me look at processing my dads passing in a different light. Good read for any walk of life. Thank you. May God Bless you and your beautiful family.

beautifully written!! a must read/listen!

losing loved ones can be so devastating, but rejoicing that are with our Lord and Savior is the comfort in the sadness. I will forever selfishly wish my sweet gram was still with us. thank you for this wonderful book and allowing me to remember all of the sweet little moments with the who are still with us today!!

Best Gift to give yourself & the ones you love

Through humor and stories of loss, Susannah weaves the gospel into our everyday lives, illuminating truths we all know but so often forget. Read, rinse, and repeat!

So worth it - Amazing!!

Thank you Susannah for another wonderful book (I read this one after How Have I Offended You Today). Your words, stories & guidance on living life & our Lord & Savior are fabulous!!

I really enjoyed this book - as I can relate to most everything she talked about. We have a lot of similar experiences and this book brought back some sweet and funny memories!

Very heart warming tales told by the author. She took me back to my childhood. We share so much in common including our birth year.

Loved. Loved. Loved.
