Thomas Nelson Press Release

HEAVEN HAS BLUE CARPET
A Sheep Story by a Suburban Housewife

Sharon Niedzinski and her family never expected their lives to change so quickly. It all started with an unsolicited call from their realtor--their dream farm had come up for sale. A new life in an old farmhouse seemed like the perfect adventure. As Niedzinski fixed up the house, she looked at the green pastureland outside, and a new theme emerged: "New England Countryside." She ordered a flock of white Columbia ewes to match the Waverly plaid wallpaper, curtains, and blue carpet. She had no idea what she was in for.

Heaven Has Blue Carpet (Thomas Nelson, Inc., ISBN# 978-0-8499-2004-2, October 2008) by Sharon Niedzinski details one woman's impulsive foray into sheep herding and how it provided an unexpected education in God's shepherding love for His people. While dealing with orphan lambs, tail cuttings, and foot rot, Niedzinski began to experience firsthand the amazing truths buried in the many Scriptures referencing God as our Shepherd. Through hilarious, heart-tugging stories, the author tells how those truths radically changed her life and brought her closer to our hard-working, sweat-stained, real-life Shepherd--Jesus.

"Though our family is now scattered, we all carry within us the invaluable and reassuring lessons we learned from the sheep," writes Niedzinski. "We discovered who we are (we really are like sheep), who owns us (Father God has adopted us), who takes care of us (Jesus our Shepherd), who gives us our spiritual life (The Spirit of God Himself), and where we are going (an imperishable inheritance waiting for us in Heaven)! If someone would have told me when the sheep first came that I'd be forever thankful, I would have told them they were crazy! But I am. I praise and thank the Good Shepherd for giving me that flock of pigheaded, mulish, hoggish, yet loveable nincompoop sheep!"

Sharon Niedzinski founded and served in 3 Christian ministries, in Aglow International, and ministered to women in weekly home groups for over 30 years. She continues to write, to speak, and to minister God's love to the brokenhearted and oppressed. Sharon and her husband Ron enjoy their six children and 21 grandchildren.
