Kaleidoscope by Patsy Clairmont, SRivera's review

Kaleidoscope by Patsy Clairmont promises to hold the book of Proverbs up to the light and find inspiring reflections of the divine to bring clarity to women in the current world. I was very excited to review this book, I agree with the writer about the appealing aspect of the book of Proverbs for the direct approach. I was intrigued to find the writers new light. In the first chapter Clairmont proposes that her book will offer a kaleidoscopic approach by sharing her insight into thirty two verses of the book of Proverbs. At the end of every short chapter the author offers follow up questions that can be good for group discussion.

Like I said, I was very excited to review this book because I love the book of Proverbs. I felt like the author was sharing her life experiences and wasn't successful in tying them to the exquisite wisdom presented in the book of the wisest man who ever lived. In many cases, I had to check the Proverb which the author was supposed to give light into. I loved the name of the book and in chapter 13 her insight regarding the rubies and the Smithsonian Museum. I certainly enjoy books with more interesting facts like that one in this book. With all this said I can't recommend this book, you may want to read it from a library and then decide if the author's approach resonates with your personality.
