Product Description

Being peculiar is not about horns,” begins bestselling author Mary Ellen Edmunds. In this humorous but thought-provoking book, she explores what really makes “a peculiar people” and what sets us apart as distinct and different from the rest of the world. “Others surely do notice things about us,” she states, “so what would it be like if we could be depended upon to live what we believe every inch and minute of our lives?” Using the scriptures and personal experiences to help explain our uniqueness, Mary Ellen presents a positive and upbeat approach to making little changes that will help us strive to become better when we’re already pretty good.

Customer Reviews

PECULIAR? YES I AM.
PECULIAR
By Mary Ellen Edmunds

This book is an easy read. She writes like she is sitting at your kitchen table and having a pleasant conversation. She shows you how to look at gospel principals in new ways.

She includes exercises to view your progress and where you may need to improve. My favorite was the Order of the Arrow. These would also be great for a Fireside, Sunday School class or Family Home Evening.

The most important lesson I learned is that I'm not perfect, but all the Lord asks is that I keep trying and not merely enduring.

Peculiarly charming
I love the cover of this book!! The rest of it is useful. The order of the arrow is a concise description of the struggles I have in my life. Occasionally I am down, most of the time I flat line, and sometimes I am heading upward to the next level.

She does use some of the same stories from her previous book "Love is a Verb", but I won't hold it against her. It is a great read for a nice pick-me-up.
