    About this audiobook

    Already an internet phenomenon, these wise and insightful lessons by popular newspaper columnist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Regina Brett will make you see the possibilities in your life in a whole new way.

    When Regina Brett turned 50, she wrote a column on the 50 lessons life had taught her. She reflected on all she had learned through becoming a single parent, looking for love in all the wrong places, working on her relationship with God, battling cancer and making peace with a difficult childhood. It became one of the most popular columns ever published in the newspaper, and since then the 50 lessons have been emailed to hundreds of thousands of people.
    Brett now takes the 50 lessons and expounds on them in essays that are deeply personal. From "Don't take yourself too seriously-Nobody else does" to "Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift," these lessons will strike a chord with anyone who has ever gone through tough times--and haven't we all?

      Regina is just real, raw, and authentic. She has so much wisdom wrapped up in this text! A must read for anyone who struggles with finding their way/purpose.

      As a cancer survivor I found these essays completely enjoyable and inspiring.
    • 5/5
      I got this book at the library last week. I saw this sitting in the new section, and I feel like the book was calling my name. Yes it was already in my to-read list, but it was sort of in the back of my mind. But once I saw this book knew I had to read it at that moment. I did get a stack of other books as well, and read one before this, but when I did read this, it sucked me in. I didn't expect to finish this in a day, I was expecting two to three at least, but I didn't. I will be reading this again,and actually buy it someday.I was reading each lesson, and not every one I could think of a way to apply to me at the moment. I finished it right before heading off to bed, so I was able to sleep on it. I woke up and here I am no writing my review. I think now, that even though not all the rules apply to me at the moment, they will someday. Like Lesson 36 "Growing Old Beats the Alternative. Dying Young Looks Good Only in Movies." She gives a list of things to do when you 50 and appreciate the age and have fun and to really live life, appreciate the old life. I am far from 50, but when it comes around I will be ready.This is a very quick, fun, and inspiring read.This book is a great book, and I think everyone should read it, weather your Christian or not.

      Brett, a journalist, shares lessons she has learned during life as a single mother and cancer survivor. Practical but encouraging, each chapter gives examples from life to back up her advice. A book that could be read more than once. The short chapters make this a book easy to pick up and put down quickly.
    • 5/5
      I loved this little gem of a book. Plain Dealer columnist Regina Brett has put together 50 little snippets of lessons that she has learned as a young single mom, an adult college student, cancer survivor, and exceptional woman. Life Lessons made me laugh, cry, and examine how I try to live my life. A quick and reflective read. Very enjoyable
    • 5/5
      I read a few books a week...this will rank as a keeper and all time favorite. If you feel you're in a tough period of life, if you want to be inspired, or if you want to think, these essays from the author fit the bill. She thinks like I do,and it's like chatting with a friend. Spiritual, but not religious....she's a cancer survivor, survivor of childhood abuse, and other difficulties...so she knows of which she speaks. If I could give this more than five stars...I would.
    • 5/5
      From my blog...Once I read that a book could not be well reviewed if the review was only a few sentences long, and while this was thought provoking and to some extent I agree, every now and again I am asked to review a book that is so profound, so honest and life changing that the book, even the title, speaks for itself. Such is the case with God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Life's Little Detours by Regina Brett. Her debut novel includes 50 Life Lessons she realized she had learned the hard way, as the best lessons are usually learned and Brett views these as life's gifts to her and her gift to her readers. The lessons are short, to the point, honest, witty, and yes, some will require Kleenex, but above all, each lesson is not only universally true, but lessons everyone needs to learn. God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Life's Little Detours is an absolute must have for anyone, young or old, religious or not. Sometimes, brevity is the only way to write, as Regina Brett clearly demonstrates in her book, God Never Blinks.
