Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The "Chicken Soup" folks present yet another anthology of feel-good stories. This cassette is an excerpt from a collection ostensibly for women, though the stories aren't only about them. The finder of a lost wallet locates the elderly owner and also the love of the old man's life; a convalescent learns about the value of life from her hospital roommate. The stories include emotion and drama that bring tears or a smile. The narrators are four of the professional presenters on the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" staff; the reading is clear and well paced.

This review is from: Second Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul (Hardcover)

These stories are heartwarming and encouraging, and even better because they are true. They are all wonderful stories. Some of my favorites are "Safe-Keeping", "The Baby Blanket", "The Wallet", and "Truly Free".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stories for MOMS!, September 28, 2003

This review is from: A Second Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul: 101 More Stories to Open the Hearts and Rekindle the Spirits of Women (Paperback)

There are several books that enlighten you, and this is surely one of them. Then there are books that change you, books that you take with you for the rest of your life, and these you must share with fellow seekers. These are the books that have unconditionally inspired me to be a better person and that I recommend to anyone searching for inspiration. The first is "The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho" this book is all about a shepherd trying to find his treasure. In the end he realizes his treasure was the journey, the people he met, the souls that touched him(How beautiful!) The second is "Siddhartha by Herman Hesse" A brilliant tale of a man who gives up everything for a journey of enlightenment. On his journey he meets the Buddha, he meets ascetics, and he meets his...(I wont spoil it for you). The last one is for kids, but it is still beautiful. "The Butterfly by Jay Singh" is a tale about a caterpillar in search of her smile! One day this caterpillar realizes she can no longer smile anymore because she is living an inauthentic life. She musters the courage to leave the Silk Palace to find her smile and discovers a whole new world that was hidden from her. Buy them, read them, be inspired!
