Joan Borysenko puts the tenets and practices of A Course In Miracles into a handy, consise, daily-use guide. I try to read it every morning along with my regular devotional and the little book with the powerful words sets the stage perfectly. This multi-disciplinary primer offers practical applications and meditations along with calendar-appropriate suggestions for spiritual practice. I recommend it to anyone who wants a blueprint for devotional work.

If I were told that I could have only one book of my many hundreds, I think "Pocketful of Miracles" would be my selection. I first purchased this book several years ago for myself, and I have since bought a copy for at least fifteen friends and acquaintances.

The book is a treasure trove--valuable as a daily meditation guide and also as an introduction to numerous spiritual traditions. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the commonality of spiritual paths.

Beautifully written with a focus of igniting and expanding in the reader compassion, insight, tolerance, and knowledge, "Pocketful of Miracles" never ceases to add light and well-being to each day and to warm my heart with its richness and wisdom.

Thank you, Ms. Joan Borysenko, for this lovely gift you have given us!

This is a book that keeps on giving. I've been using it for over 8 years and still love it. I love its breadth, depth,inclusivity and practicality across a broad spectrum of religious traditions.

A lovely book that takes you on a soul nurturing journey throughout the course of a year. Each day has a reading to contemplate. I have so enjoyed this book and the peace I get from starting my day with it!

I have been reading this book every day for about 12 years. Year after year, it is always a pleasure to read. I like the way Ms Borysenko draws from different faiths and spiritual paths. This book makes a great gift for someone you love. For daily mediation I also recommend Glimpse After Glimpse by Sogyal Rinpoche.

I read this book every day. It has been a part of my life for ten years. It has new and refreshing thoughts everyday of every year. It keeps me centered. I just purchased three new books to give to people I love. I know that when I am reading it each they are reading it also.

It is the best book to help one working on spirituality that I have experienced. Thanks to my daughter-in-law I have had this gift for ten years.

this little book fo daily readings, is perfect for people to find answers to relaxation, peace and a few answers for life.
It does not promote any religion but is spiritual and wonderfull.

This book of daily inspirations helps us to start our day in the right frame of mind and the exercises it suggests helps me to keep a calm and peaceful outlook on the day.

I was given this book as a gift, and have treasured it ever since. It gives wonderful daily affirmations, as well as basic simple daily actions to take. For anyone who is interested in medition, but doesn't know how to go about it, this is a great way to learn. Meditation exercises are fully described in the back of the book. For a closer connection to the Universe, and your fellow human beings, this is the way to start your day!

Each morning I start my day with a reading along with my coffee. It provides a simple focus that grounds me for the rest of the day. Sometimes I will take time to do a meditation, but generally it provides enough thought for me to "live by" for the day.
I do especially like how it is all-inclusive ranging from dogmatic lessons to esoteric thought.
