The Repurposed and Upcycled Life

“Michelle had me laughing from the first paragraph in her intro. I thought, Now here’s a woman I can relate to. She’s hilarious. She’s creative. She’s real. And she packs an important message about how God can repurpose the not-so-fun stuff of our lives into something beautiful. This book will entertain you and give you a new perspective. You can’t go wrong with that.”

—Twila Belk—a.k.a. the Gotta Tell Somebody Gal—speaker, writer, co-author of Heavenly Company and I Believe in Healing

“Michelle Rayburn has always had a way with discarded things, remaking them into something uniquely useful, beautiful, and a conversation-starter. She does the same thing with words and stories in The  Repurposed and Upcycled Life, encouraging her readers to find the treasures that rise from each page. Her transparency and sense of humor help make this book at once meaningful, challenging, and fun...as charming as the antique door she's repurposed as a room divider. Her gift for finding new purposes for items that seem to have lost their usefulness is more than equaled by her gift for applying that principle to life's difficulties and disappointments in this treasure of a book.” 

—Cynthia Ruchti, radio personality, novelist, speaker, and author of the upcoming Ragged Hope: Surviving the Fallout of Other People's Choices (Abingdon Press)
