No-Frills Wisdom Changed My LIfe

I heartily recommend this book to everyone, and I mean EVERYONE. If Peace didn't reach you during her thirty-year-long pilgrimage through North America (on foot and on faith), let her reach you now through the many words she left behind. This book is a compilation of 365 quotations taken from Peace's speeches and writings, one for each day of the year. It can be used as a daily journal or study guide, opened up at random and enjoyed in bits, or read through and through in one exhilarating, inspiring, heart-and-eye opening sitting. I would not like to categorize this book as `religious' or even `spiritual', because Peace's message neither includes nor excludes any particular religion or brand of spirituality, but transcends all boundaries. I have yet to encounter a person familiar with Peace Pilgrim in whom she has failed to strike a chord; everyone that I have shared this book with--from the most jaded, disinterested cynic to the most well-read, spiritually-schooled seeker to even the set-in-her-ways bible-thumper-has been affected by it and fallen in love with Peace. She was an amazing woman with a beautiful, vibrant and purposeful spirit and a definite message to spread; it is neither a new nor a radical message, but only Peace was able to articulate it in such a no-nonsense, accessible and, most of all, deeply inspiring way. Forget mind-boggling profundities, esoteric practices and trite instruction manuals on `how to live'-check out Peace Pilgrim!
