What Southern Women Know about Faith

Kitchen Table Stories and Back Porch Comfort

By: Ronda Rich, Stevie Waltrip - introduction

Narrated by: Ronda Rich

Come, sip a glass of sweet tea and sit for a spell with Ronda on the porch swing as she tells you stories of happiness and heartache, friends and family, and a faith that’s strong enough to handle anything life throws your way. As Ronda shares, Southerners don’t just talk about God, they have a “kitchen-table faith,” that feels like a comfortable, trusted neighbor who sits down and stays for a good, long visit. It’s a faith you live and breathe, day-in, day-out, whether it’s praying to the good Lord as you sit on the porch swing or finding joy in a delicious pan of cornbread. As Ronda says, Southern faith “is a faith that is plain, simple, and sturdy, that is utilitarian in practice and that fits as comfortably in the hands of Southern women as a baby, an iron skillet, a hair brush, a telephone, or a broom.” From stories of moonshine and revivals, Sunday dinners and new Easter outfits, prayers answered and griefs shared, you’ll discover a faith that supports you when the trials and heartaches of life cause you to stumble, a faith that grabs you by the elbow and steadies you on the path.

Every God Fearing Woman Should Listen...

Ronda is Rich in the Lord’s wisdom. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will definitely read many times again. Her voice, accent and mannerism is very comforting to me as I am also from the South. I hope she will continue writing. I will be recommending this book to friends for sure. Thank you for the great advice and God Bless You Ronda!

Much needed encouragement

There is a quote on the cover that reads “this book speaks to my heart.” And that is the perfect way to describe this book. If you are looking for something to motivate you in your spiritual walk with Christ, this it it! I imagine that there will be several times i will listen to this book when I’m in need of encouragement.

This began as a History of Religion

I really didn't get into it.
