Hands Pointed UP is a quick read you won't be able to put down. If you're down in the dumps, this is the book to lift you UP! It includes 60 inspirational sayings, one for each minute in the hour, that include the word "up." This great gift book includes biblical references and other observations that will help you keep a positive attitude--quotes and cartoons collected over the author's lifetime.

The thought for the book originated when the author's mother said she got married at 1 o'clock because "the hands (on the clock) are pointed up." The book gets you thinking about life and its UPS and downs-we're either UP in the air or down for the count; UP to something or down on somebody, UP a creek without a paddle or down in the dumps.

When the clock strikes 12, the new day is clean and perfect and it puts itself in our hands with hopes of learning from yesterday and approaching tomorrow. Your most prized possession is the next 24 hours. If you practice the Ups suggested, maybe your timing won't be off for God. You'll measure UP and always be straight UP for Him no matter what it says on the clock, which passes time by keeping its hands busy. You should do the same, pointing yours toward heaven.
