Customer Reviews

Ten Gifts is an excellent title

Was laying in bed in the early fall of 2000, and was flipping the stations on my radio when I came upon a cool radio show out of New York City, called the Joey Reynolds Show, where he had this wonderful lady on who had authored this book The Ten Gifts. She was joyful , funny, but not stuffy. Let me also note that I am non religious. The book grew out of a tragic situation that sadly few Americans even remember. The Red River flooding of Grand Forks, North Dakota, and its sister city, East Grand Forks, Minnesota.60,000 plus people were effected and many areas are still recovering. The Ten Gifts she writes indepth about are: The gift of Faith, The gift of Love, The gift of Dreams, The gift of Courage, The gift of Unity, The gift of Joy, The gift of Trust, The gift of Character, The gift of Thanks, The gift of Intention. This is not a get quick happiness book, where you wake up one morning and discover all your challenges have gone "poof". What she does do is teach you lessons with ideas that you can use, one day at a time, who over weeks and months can help your life become happier or at least more at peace.

The Ten Gifts is a book for everyone!

It's a refreshing reminder of the important things in life and how easy it is to incorporate them in day-to-day living. I love many things about the book. The stories are heartwarming and the exercises included help to bring the gifts to reality. It makes a perfect "gift" for family and friends as well as being a necessary item in every library. Read it and you'll see why!

searching for inner calm

The 1997 massive floods in Grand Forks, ND & E Grand Forks, MN evacuated 60,000 people including Robin Silverman and her family. She knew it would take more than hard work to get back on track after this life changing event. Robin searched for what gave people the inner core of peace and in time came up with, "The Ten Gifts"I found answers I have long been looking for while reading the stories of how these "GIFTS" can be and were used. Thank you Robin Silverman

Amazing!

I thought this book was inspirational and incredibly helpful! As a college student, I am constantly trying to find a direction, and The Ten Gifts made me sort out what I do and don't want in my life. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for guidance!
