What readers have said:

“What my friend Marcia writes, I read. She’s down home, real deep, and fun in a funny sorta way. You’ll want a dozen copies of Pond’rings. Give it to friends and watch the ripple effects.” Phil Callaway Comedian and author

Nancy Rue – Pond’rings is more than a memoir. It is a coming-to-life story built on courageous honesty and told with the artistry Marcia Laycock is known for. Be prepared: as you read it, you will find yourself coming to life as well.  Nancy Rue, author, mentor, podcaster

Sigmund Brouwer – Pond’rings follows a life of growth into belonging and belief, both in oneself and in One who is beyond us, wrapped up in the sometimes mystifying calling to write. Marcia Laycock’s honesty, resilience and willingness to change will inspire you, even if you are not a writer. Sigmund Brouwer, prolific Canadian author https://www.sigmundbrouwer.com

Lucia Frangione – Marcia Lee Laycock has shared her refreshingly candid and delightful personal story about being a writer of faith. She takes us from the wilds of the Yukon to the deep waters of the Great Lakes. It’s a gentle triumphant memoir about endurance, passion, and the discipline of continually retuning one’s ear to God’s call. It celebrates all efforts to follow one’s dreams, and also affirms doing small things with great love. Lucia Frangione, author of the novel, Grazie  https://www.amazon.ca/Grazie-Lucia-Frangione/dp/1772015083/

“In her signature style of raw honesty and transparency, Marcia invites us into the tapestry of her journey, woven with divine encounters and ‘God-incidences.’ Throught hepages of this memoir, she paints a picture of courage and faith that led her to her calling as a writer. As I read I found a spark to reignite my own creative path. If your sould seeks inspiration and your heart craves to be uplifted, this book will be a treasured companion. Kimberley Payne Author of the Meeting Faith Devotional Series

Reading Marcia Laycock’s book, Pond’rings, feels a bit like a roller coaster ride. Which is just what the Christian life can feel like! Her story will make you smile, cry a little, gasp in amazement, and often praise God for how He works in a believer’s life. Life with God is certainly not boring. What I loved best about Marcia’s story is her authenticity. I often said to myself, “Yep” as I read, because many of her responses to God echo my own. Pam Halter, children’s book author and editor
