Another in the long line of Chicken Soup books, and as such, a bit predictable. Still, some of the stories are pretty amazing. Many stories of people with health problems that had been pretty much abandoned as hopeless by their doctors who decided that they were going to find some way to help themselves - and they did. One story about a woman Grace Halloran with retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease, who managed to improve her eyes enough to get her driver's license back. I have a friend with RP, and what she describes is really a miracle. I like stories about real people and their real lives. Yes, its another Chicken Soup book, but I bought it, I read it, I liked it and I recommend it.

Since this is my first Chicken Soup book I have read, I can fairly say from a great portion of this collection that I have been touched and inspired. I also have a friend with Retinitis Pigmentosa and Grace's story hit the heart. I also have had a near death experience as described in Hal's story "Grateful Life, Joyous Passage" and found it such a joy to read that there is someone out there who has felt and truly experienced what I have and so much more. This collection will have something for everyone.

The item arrived in good time and condition as per Amazon's promise. Good job all!

Book arrived in a timely manner and perfect condition.
The stories are heart warming as with the other Chicken Soup books.
Thanks.

The most promising feature of this book is that it made me feel it was okay to just, be me. I, too, have many inspirational experiences where words cannot express. Sometimes when I try, I fumble it up and lose my listener. The stories in this book are beautifully expressed with the right words to give me a lift. Definitely a book I'll be buying for my friends and family!
