Panning for Gold: Looking Back on a Life of Joy

In Panning for Gold, Judson Edwards looks back on his life and reflects on the things that have mattered most to him. He comes up with an eclectic and fascinating array of gold nuggets—God, family, sports, fascination, writing, books, laughter, Scripture, music, faith, tenacity, solitude, justice, doubt, creativity, words, grace, and memories—then shares them with wit and a storyteller's flare.

Even if you don't share all of Jud's "favorite things," this book will invite you to think about your own life and the things that matter most to you. And, as he celebrates the things that have enabled him to find joy, you will find yourself celebrating the things that give you joy, too. Panning for Gold is really an invitation to fall in love with life all over again.
