Two Minutes for God

I received this book as a Christmas gift from my only child who has been mentored by Peter Panagore. He, and his book, have had a wonderful influence in our lives. I keep it on the nightstand with the family Bible and I refer to it every day. This is not a collection of Maine stories about "Maine folks", even though I do recognize some stories and know some of the people. However, it is a set of truly inspirational thoughts that transcend religion, class and time and show the common thread of humanity in all of our lives. We all seem to be searching for answers and often we turn to God. I advise you to do so with Peter and his new book. I start my day off watching "Daily Devotions" and having a cup of tea, both of these actions seem to fortify me for the upcoming day. Give it a try!

My New Daily Ritual

Peter and I were childhood classmates and I had not seen or heard from him for 30 years until we recently reconnected at a high school reunion. Shortly thereafter I received an email from him about his book. About the same time I recived, as a Christmas gift from a good friend, my very first Bible. Not having ever read a single word of the Bible I was a bit intimidated about where to start so I decided to buy Peter's book to see if it would help. As I started reading Peter's stories daily and making them a part of my morning "wake-up" routine, I noticed that I started to feel more positive about how I approached my day. Shortly thereafter I accepted an invitation to join a bible study group with the friend who gave me my first Bible and am noticing even more postive changes in my life. Peter's way of weaving theme's from the Bible into ordinary daily life events, in short easy to read stories, is an incredible gift. You are not overwhelmed with "preaching" from his stories and leave each one feeling compelled to ask yourself how you can integrate the message into your life. I highly recommend Peter's book to anyone looking for a simple way to add more spirituality to your life. It certainly has helped me begin my long overdue relationship with God.

Spirituality for Everyone

The amusing and inspirational anecdotes combined with the author's conversational and intelligent tone makes this an appropriate read for people of all faiths. No matter where you are in your life journey, the messages ring true and resonate. It's a perfect gift book for yourself or for anyone on your list who likes a good story but doesn't have the leisure time to devote to a full blown novel or conventional story collection.

Daily Devotions

Each story is a gift of serenity I give myself everyday. Some are funny, some are moving and emotional, all are a "good read". I recommend this book very highly.
