Book Cover & Preview Text
The next night when we got back from Bible study, Corbin called for me to come see what was in the bathroom - WE HAD A FROG IN THE TOILET!!! He was about the size of my fist. We had to flush twice to get him to go down - man, he was paddling like crazy. We thought that solved that problem, but last night there he was, back again! Can you imagine the thoughts that go through your mind as you sit there wondering is a frog is...well, never mind. This time we tried more drastic measures and poured a big kettle of boiling water on him. David Miller asked me if we now had "frog soup?" We're hoping this is the end of this little problem. The only thing that might have made it worse is if it had been a snake!

With a sense of humor about things over which they had no control, There’s a Frog in My Toilet shows how God can bring glory to all situations and circumstances.
