This book was a gift to me and we have really enjoyed it. It uses a Christian based outlook to give practical, short and to the point hints on all aspects of one's life: marriage, kids, home safety, time management, etc.. I highly recommend it. It would make a great gift!

This intriguing collection gathers wisdom from throughout the Western world: marriage counselors, the Bible (and Bible scholars), Poor Richard's Almanac, health professionals, moms, dads, kids, and grandparents. It is at times inspiring (interesting sections on when good virtues turn bad and on deadliest sins), at times impractical (one hour of reading for one hour of TV viewing? Binoculars made from toilet paper tubes as a kids' toy?) and even saccharine (We're supposed to use our TV time to snuggle and rub backs! I cringed when I read that line.) But then again, much here will admonish, console, and refresh and mostly, remind you of what we ought to do but often don't remember to. A good gift for those who enjoy Christy Lane, "Touched By An Angel," and all wholesome things - or need to.

an excellant collection of wisdom that is relevant and easy to understand..short and to the point..a must for all,especially students who are confused and are looking for meaning and guidance..too bad this book wasn't given the publicity it deserves! get it, enjoy, and come away refreshed.

I purchased 5 of these low priced wonderful books as gifts for all occasions, a 21st birthday, a 75th Birthday; a hospital patient gift; a teacher gift; a thinking-of-you-gift; All were well received by the recipients. Highly recommend the book and using it as a gift.

If you love to read lists, are looking for inspiration, or wishing to change your life, this is a great book for just that. Gaining new insights, I have used my copy so often that it has now become dog-eared. Anyone can benefit from reading it, whether they are young or old. It would also make a wonderful gift.

This book is perfect for anyone that is married or about to get married. This is a must buy!

When I saw this in a bookstore, I had to buy it. Then I got it home, looked at it maybe twice, and said, "Why did I need this?"

If you love lists of things, this is an interesting book. Otherwise, I don't see much purpose.

I fell in love with this book a few years ago, and gave several of them as gifts. I couldn't believe it when a Christian bookstore had several copies greatly discounted. I bought them all and gave more away. I have four different volumes of this book and they are all wonderful little treasures, full of wisdom and sound advice. My family now has a dinnertime ritual of choosing one list and reading outloud at the table. At first my family was resistant, but now we all enjoy it and look forward to discussion the lists inspire. This book series is great for those with little time to sit and read, because you can choose a short list to read each day, and you will gain something from it. This book, the bible and the Simply in Season cookbook are the three books I could never part with!

Lists to live by is a must have. Great for any collector or someone looking for a quick inspiration. This book is a keeper for all time. I recommend keeping in the living room for a quick peek now and then. I keep it to remind me there are good things in life and to help me be a better person, religious or not it will enlighten you.

I am not a reader by all means, but I am beginning to be. I have enjoyed reading this book so much, that I want to share it with all my Family and friends, but this is not a book you can let someone borrow because you will never get it back (lots of laughes), you will want to own it, so you can go back and read it over and over. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
