An Inspiration

I received this book as a gift ... I've read it three times already, and I go back to it whenever I need a little inspiration!

Very touching

this is a very touching book with exquisite photographs (I'd like to learn this technique). The stories are unforgettable.

beautiful book/perfect gift

I received this book as a Christmas present, and had it on my desk at work for a few days; everyone who stopped by picked it up and couldn't put it down ... and a few tears appeared when people started reading some of the individual patient stories. The photographs are beautiful, and the stories of the children and doctors and nurses are really touching; I have since purchased a few copies to give as gifts myself

This is such a beautiful book!!

I recently purchased "The Gift" because I have two other books by Phil Borges -- "Tibetan Portrait" and "Enduring Spirit" -- which both have incredibly beautiful portraits and stories. I couldn't get through "The Gift" without crying; the images of the children are so beautiful and touching, and their stories are amazing. They are all so brave! This is a very special book.
