All I am wanting to say, is that, this book was given to me by my best friend, my Mum, in January 1998. It is such a God-send. I will treasure it for all my days. It is a shame that it is out of print - it is such a perfect book for daily reflection, that quite often is poignant to the day. It is my favourite, and the leather binding with the bible textured paper is most appropriate. I cannot speak highly enough of this book, its messages move me so deeply, to the point of tears. Those who wrote and illustrated it, are so in touch with the deeper essence of life - God bless their souls. Please, if you can, pass on my heart-felt gratitude. Now that I have discovered the other books they have written, I shall be checking them out. May God truly bless you and shower you all with such profound Love. Thank You.

I don't think we as human beings actually recognize the power of daily reading, meditation, and reflecting. Practicing these powerful principles allows us to remain mindful of the moment and reflect upon the deeper question in our lives. To devote ourself to a daily meditation and to journal on these quiet times is priceless and will certainly aid in the evolution of our soul. For me this practice has allowed an awakening to take place and opens my life up to all the opportunities that are available in this universe. Please give this practice a try! This book will help you in your journey of living and cultivating an active consciousness in your daily life.

A nice book of inspiring thoughts. As a big fan of Max Lucado's Grace for the moment I really enjoy the daily reminders to help start my day. Wanting to stay away from a "religious" perpsective I purchased this book to give as a gift to several co-workers, and ended up purchasing one for myself!

I am delighted with the book especially since I found a very clean, good condition used leather-bound version. I have used this meditation booklet for at least 30 years. Finally I have given away and or lost all of my 6 books and was afraid I wouldn't find one, thinking it would now be out of print. I found this used one (hardly used), couldn't believe it was so easy to find as well as inexpensive. I would recommend this little book for everyone as a daily tool for living sucessfully. It is spiritual but not religious, refreshing in this day and age, when religion seems to be the basis for all self-improvement. This is not a requirement, only a little self examination and responsibility for self. Daily reflections with affirmations.

I've really enjoyed this so far - I started reading one a day in January. It has been a wonderfully inspirational, daily reading. I've also really liked being able to share it with my Christian family as well as my agnostic friends. The sentiments are universally applicable. Even the cynics I've share readings with have been moved.

I had originally ordered this book for myself and after reading many of the reflections I ordered several more for friends. I can't express enough how important is to me to look at other views on things in life. This book give me an opportunity to look at the readings and how they relate so much to what's happening in my life. It's a good way to get out of yourself for a few minutes without picking up a mind altering substance. I would recommend it to anyone to read in the morning or before going to sleep. I get my day started with a fresh thought for the day. One of the ladies I purchased it for reads in the evening and it really does help her rest better after a hectic day and everything is still racing especially up in her head.

I love this little book. I plan to order a copy for my daughters. The daily readings are short, not preachy and they really make you think about your choices in life.

I have owned this book for over 25 years personally and have suggested and ordered it for many of my friends and family members along the way. Actually most of the copies I have ordered were a result of someone seeing my copy which is on my living room table as I read from it every morning. I have given it as gifts and to people who have requested a copy of their own or have asked me where they could get a copy.
The cover has changed, but the messages are the same. I have found these daily readings to be very helpful and they seem to keep addressing just what I need to stay in touch with my inner soul. It amazes me how a daily reading from this book always seems to address either what is going on for that day or just what I need to personally address that day.

I'm not a tree hugger, nor am I some sort of guy that believes that magic stones or fairy tales can help you. What i do know is that science has made our physical lives better. I know that there is an element of sociology in our lives that is hard to deal with, hard to understand, and hard to manage. The promise of a new day book was recommended to my wife and I by a friend. It has proven to be quite informative and helpful in dealing with the emotions of life and relationships. I highly recommend this book. Not too preachy, and gives some solid decent advice.

I have had this book for 20 years and it has been with me on the days that I have wanted to become more as a human. It is insightful and quick enough to fit in every day. Jump start each day with healing and centered thoughts with this book as help.
