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.
A pastor for thirty-eight years, Judson Edwards is retired and lives with his wife, Sherry, in Cedar Park, Texas, near Austin. He now spends his time writing, reading, walking, sipping coffee, and watching his four grandsons play sports. Jud is the author of thirteen books, the last six published by Smyth & Helwys. He also writes the Formations Commentary, a resource for Bible study teachers.

Life of Joy
This book helped me reflect on what is important to me. Even though my list would be different, I founds some similar thoughts.
