Even if you’ve never attended a wedding in the South, you’ll find laughter in the pages of this deliciously entertaining slice of Southern life and love, complete with recipes, advice, and a huge dose of that famous charm

"In the Mississippi Delta, funerals bring out the best in people, while weddings, which are supposed to be happy occasions, bring out the worst." So say Gayden Metcalfe and Charlotte Hays, authors of the bestseller Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies’ Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral, who turn their keen eyes and sharp wit from the end of the life cycle to the all-important midpoint. For anyone planning, participating in, or attending a wedding (Southern or not), this book will amuse, entertain, and provide advice for marital bliss, including:

--It’s OK to peek at an etiquette book, but if you rely too heavily on it, people will think that you are not fully acquainted with what is right and wrong.
--Anything that was not done in the past doesn’t need to be done now -- consider this before ordering a groom’s cake, especially one featuring a fishing-tackle or golfing theme..

Why can we feel and enjoy the presence of God in some churches more than others? Because the Spirit of God is welcomed, appreciated and honored in these churches and is thus delighted to abide there. Learn how you too can host the Holy Spirit-both in your own personal life and in the life of your church. For where the Holy Spirit is welcomed, He brings His favor, His blessing and the sweet manifestation of His presence. But how do we invite the Holy Spirit to remain and flourish? It is one thing to play host to the Spirit for a season, as though welcoming a guest lecturer; it is quite another to make a place for the Spirit of the King of glory to dwell. Contributing authors to this book are leaders who have found places of favor before the Lord through His grace to cause the Holy Spirit to remain and grow. .
