WINSTON SALEM, N.C., June 3, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- The patience of Job. It has been alluded to, admired and studied for centuries, but with no real new understanding. With a little humor, author and publisher Sandy Mills brings new light to the quality that made Job a man of extraordinary character in Job's Mother In Law (now available through 1stBooks).
Job's Mother In Law is the story of a modern-day Job whose mother in law unexpectedly came to visit the family ... and stayed for 27 years. Based on a true story, Job's Mother In Law explores the deepest and most intimate parts of a life lived with relatives that try your patience and your faith.
Mills says, "A large percentage of marriages break up because of in-law interference. Most of these couples focus on the symptoms rather than the problems. When we love our parents, we do not want to admit that they may be the problem, so we blame each other. This book will show how the marriage can be saved by facing the problem with tact and with truth."
Instead of dealing with the more ordinary aspects of marriage, the hero of Mills' book finds himself constantly having to settle differences between his wife and her mother. While many of these anecdotes seem humorous in hindsight, Mills brings to light those moments that had both a profound and negative impact on life and marriage.
Mills was born in northeastern Georgia. He is a graduate of the University of Georgia and a retired Bell Communications Research employee. After retiring, Mills worked as a freelance writer for several companies in North Carolina and New Jersey before starting "The Salem Star," a monthly newspaper that is still published today.
