Picking Up Sticks

Description

Life’s most meaningful lessons rarely come from big events; they often begin with a quiet moment, a small kindness, or an unexpected encounter. In Picking Up Sticks, Gregory Allen Badersnider invites readers into a series of true stories shaped by family, faith, travel, and the outdoors.

From raising three sons in Michigan to traveling across Africa, from humorous encounters with neighbors to reflections on service and resilience, these essays remind us to slow down and notice the ordinary. Each story is written with warmth, humility, and honesty, offering readers a chance to see their own lives reflected in its pages.

Picking Up Sticks is a collection that will resonate with anyone who values family, community, and the simple lessons hidden in everyday life. It’s a book to return to, one story at a time, whenever you need encouragement or perspective.
