Editorial Reviews

Review

Seldon does one find such distilled wisdom accompanied with wit, understanding of life in all its aspects, and joy as in this collection of stories - stories that stem from Dr. Sellers' vast experiences of growing up during the blitz in London and living most of her life in America. She puts the importance of Love into solving problems small and large. She then explains through wonderful stories just how to really PRACTICE Love. These stories are practical, witty, humorous, joyful and, above all, from the heart. -- Jack H. Holland, Emeritus Professor San Jose State University

There is nothing like stories from someone's life that tell of their challenges, dreams, hopes, fears and how they chose to go through, overcome, experience and rejoice... Such is Getting It Right This Time by Delia Sellers. The first chapter recounts her experience and feelings about her older brother. From believing that he always "came first in her parents' love, resenting his position and feeling "second choice," she came to discover that he had been a truer friend to her than she could have know - this discovery in a week that they spent together while he was on leave from the military in wartime. Love entered in and forgiveness prepared the way for a new and closer relationship... In a subsequent chapter "Do It Anyway," Delia points out that it takes courage and determination to learn something new at any age, but that commitment and perseverance will add to one's growth in every area of living.

The foregoing is but a taste of the insight, joy and lessons reaching out from the pages of Getting It Right This Time. After each chapter, quotes from William Arthur Ward's writings are an added bonus. -- New Thought Magazine, INTA

This review is from: Getting it Right This Time (Paperback)

Through the wit and wisdom of each short story in Getting It Right This Time by Dr. Delia Sellers, I can now identify the "ITS" in my life and better understand how to deal with them once and for all. This amazing book has inspired me to get my own life story right this time. Dr. Sellers unique teaching/sharing style has touched my heart on many profound levels for which I am grateful. These stories represent something authentic and loving that is found in the relationships we all experience. I know that I was ready to get it right this time. And, after all, this is my only time to get it right. Thanks to the insight and inspiration found in this book, now I am going to write some new chapters to the story of my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Highly Readable and Relevant", March 9, 2000

This review is from: Getting it Right This Time (Paperback)

In this heartwarming, inspirational collection of stories, readers will find insights they can apply to their own lives. Delia's stories about forgiveness, patience, love, joy, and personal transformation (to mention a few) will inspire them to look at situations in their own lives and create positive change. It's the kind of book you can pick up and open at any chapter and find inspiration and guidance. A couple of my favorites are "Seventy Times Seven" and "Don't Dig Up the Carrots." I also loved the poems by William Arthur Ward which followed each chapter. This is a highly readable, highly relevant book which will be cherished by each reader for the gifts it gives!
