That Which is to Be Desired in a Book of Poetry

This book is a beautiful collection of both blank and common verse. It starts with a presentation of the title portion, the beautiful "Desiderata" (to be desired). It then follows with a poems that are beautiful, thought provoking, and sometimes breathtaking in their simple, but eloquent, insights. It is truly an example of what should be desired from faith. As Christ said "all things are made new" when we look at them through the eyes of faith as opposed to the eyes of pessimism.
