5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Emotional Crisis Reference Text!, June 8, 2000

This is one of my all time necessary readings. When the crisis hits, after your scream, holler, and cry: wash your face, have some juice and get cozy with this little book. My favorite quote goes, "Noone is coming to save you. You are your own salvation or your life is without merit. If you are waiting for someone to come along to save you, find a comfortable seat". Full of successful, right to the point reality checks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Will change your whole perspective., October 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Finding Your Strength in Difficult Times : A Book of Meditations (Paperback)

This book has become my "bible" so to speak. I take it with me where ever I go. I thought I was more on the perfect side. This book has really humbled me. It has also changed the way I see the world and others around me. In the past week I have read this book twice. I promise that you will hi-lite a great portion of this book.

This was sent to me after my father was killed in an accident and it's been a saving grace. Its full of great advice even if the only difficult times you have is simply getting from Monday thru to Friday. My favorite is "The only reason you need for wanting to do something is because you want to".
