I have had a copy of this book for at least 15 years. I will not be without it. I have turned to this volume on so many occasions and have found comfort, solace and happiness upon reflection of almost all of the selections. This book will inspire anyone. It is a must-have book.

This book has been enjoyed by three generations in my family. It contains priceless gems of wisdom and reflections on lifes biggest questions. I highly reccomend it to anyone!

on the bedside tables of every person. When I first read it, I was feeling pretty down but found my spirits lifting with every turn of a page. Especially helpful are the chapters about Harold Russell who lost the use of his hands, but gained in strength and fortitude and Mary Pickford who writes so well about the possibilities of beginning again after failure and setback. I could go on giving example after example of the wonderful inspiration that awaits anyone who reads this book. It's the type of book you can read just a few pages from and get just what you need. You can't go wrong buying this book.

Light from Many Lamps takes the famous quotes, words, and writings you know and love and expands them with the "story behind the story". An inspiration to all who read it, and a great source for motivational moments.

Simply Marvellous - and I've only just started to read it

This book is a staple in our Home, It is a light in our dark moments, It puts our lives in true order.

In this book you will find the wisdom of people like Burroughs, Longfellow, Emerson and Shakespeare, to name only a few. I found this a very comforting book to read in times of difficulty. It was a gift from a friend when I was young. Now that I am old, I find it a great gift for teens and adults, and recently bought two to give to friends. My book is very well used and falls open to my favored pages. I heartily recommend this book.

I have given approximately 50 of these books as gifts during the last 25 years. Everyone has expressed gratitude and reported that it had become one of their favorite books also. I am so excited that they are available again after not being able to purchase them for many years!

Touches your heatbeat,freshens your outlook on Life. This book is a friend by your side 24/7

I love the stories behind the inspirational poems in this book! For example, learning the story of William Ernest Henley author of the poem "Invictus" makes the poem so much more poignant. The author includes poems addressing courage, happiness, faith, confidence, fear, self-discipline, family, peace of mind and the future. This is a keeper and a wonderful gift.
