Brilliant!

This book is exactly what every teacher needs to have on his or her desk. It's as if Mrs. Murphy has read the mind of every elementary teacher out there and written down a prayer for every situation! This book offers exactly what you need to get you through the day. If you do not have this book, GET IT! You certainly won't regret it. It is a book to which every teacher can truly relate. This book is uplifting and helpful. You will find yourself coming back to it again and again for inspiration and encouragement.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!

This little book offers heartfelt ENCOURAGEMENT to teachers--at a time when they need it perhaps more than ever before. Teaching is much more difficult than it was just a few years ago (the paperwork alone is a nightmare), and the meditations in this book can help teachers put things in perspective. As Bill Martin says (on the back cover), "This book will remind you that teaching is a high calling and a joy."
