We opened a small Christmas package (this book) that came from a friend. Lo, our view about our own very own lives, as in "right now," were almost instantly and excitingly redeemed, simply by contemplating the simple truths found when merely reading the first two chapters! Call it good-timing if you must, but this little book easily brought us to consider how to let "time" serve us, NOW, as it truly is ... and always has been, well before this ole world "humanized" the concept of time with hundreds of false beliefs that lead us all to experience useless longings. Adopting the "now" is all that is available to find inner peace, if only we will see it. It's that simple. This book is stimulating, intellectual reading for anyone seeking inner peace by merely readily embracing most all of the wisdoms that are given in this book, simply for the taking!
