Testimonials
“Judi Latta's clear-eyed prose stitches together a lovely tribute to perseverance, pride, and the smarts of a growing-up Southern girl. There are instructive lessons for everyone in these pages.”
Wil Haygood
Author of THE BUTLER
“The title alone made me smile, but in God Ain't Sleep, Latta finds the beautiful balance with wonderful anecdotes and profound nuggets of wisdom. Each chapter gives you pause and makes you think back over your own life and realize that God may have been quiet but he certainly wasn't sleep!”
TaJuan “TeeJ” Mercer
Award-Winning TV Editor
International Bestselling Author
“This book is a joy, full of life lessons, lessons that are concise, lessons that are full of insight and, as is so often the case, lessons that emerge at unexpected times from entirely surprising places. Most of all, this book is testimony to the fact that we are all still learning.”

“Latta's reflections are powerful lessons for anyone interested in putting life’s challenges in perspective. The author writes with such grace, authenticity, and clarity that readers are pulled ‘near the fire (for its warmth), rather than into it.’ These stories inspire us to search for deeper meaning in what we see and hear every day — to open our eyes and hearts to life itself.”
