Customer Reviews

Universal

I've really enjoyed this so far - I started reading one a day in January. It has been a wonderfully inspirational, daily reading. I've also really liked being able to share it with my Christian family as well as my agnostic friends. The sentiments are universally applicable. Even the cynics I've share readings with have been moved.

Well done

A nice book of inspiring thoughts. As a big fan of Max Lucado's Grace for the moment I really enjoy the daily reminders to help start my day. Wanting to stay away from a "religious" perpsective I purchased this book to give as a gift to several co-workers, and ended up purchasing one for myself!

Refreshing Thoughts

I had originally ordered this book for myself and after reading many of the reflections I ordered several more for friends. I can't express enough how important is to me to look at other views on things in life. This book give me an opportunity to look at the readings and how they relate so much to what's happening in my life. It's a good way to get out of yourself for a few minutes without picking up a mind altering substance. I would recommend it to anyone to read in the morning or before going to sleep. I get my day started with a fresh thought for the day. One of the ladies I purchased it for reads in the evening and it really does help her rest better after a hectic day and everything is still racing especially up in her head.

The Promise of a New Day

All I am wanting to say, is that, this book was given to me by my best friend, my Mum, in January 1998. It is such a God-send. I will treasure it for all my days. It is a shame that it is out of print - it is such a perfect book for daily reflection, that quite often is poignant to the day. It is my favourite, and the leather binding with the bible textured paper is most appropriate. I cannot speak highly enough of this book, its messages move me so deeply, to the point of tears. Those who wrote and illustrated it, are so in touch with the deeper essence of life - God bless their souls. Please, if you can, pass on my heart-felt gratitude. Now that I have discovered the other books they have written, I shall be checking them out. May God truly bless you and shower you all with such profound Love. Thank You.

Meditations for thought, reflection, and personal growth.

I had this book prior to this re-release and have used it off and on until just recently, when I needed to refocus on my inner-connectedness to the world around me. I have started reading the passages daily, sometimes more than once.This book has a meditation or thought-provoking passage for each day of the year, including leap years. It always seems to me that issues I have been wrestling with are discussed in this little book exactly when I need to see something on a particular subject. There is an index both by subject and author of the various passages in the book, so if you are interested in a certain topic, you can use the subject index in the back of the book. I found this to be particularly helpful when I had specific issues I wanted to reflect upon and needed some food for thought.I have purchased this book as a gift for two dear friends in the last month or so, and would highly recommend this to anyone reflecting or pondering personal issues of great import.
