From AudioFile

Condensed from a popular book of 100 heartwarming stories, this is a pleasant collection of short stories by inspirational Christian writers. They are not all explicitly Christian, though. In them, the presence of God sneaks up on the listener like a silent guardian who has encouragement and a loving hand for anyone needing it. The stories are just long enough to get involved with each one, and they are read with a heartfelt reverence that doesn't get in the way of the messages. With stories as entertaining as they are inspirational, this is a program that will offend no one and be a joy to hear for all but the most grumpy listener.

This book will bring a smile to your face, as well as a tear. If you think that life has dealt you a bad hand, this book will inspire you to go on no matter what comes your way. I have sat around with my family and read many of the stories and we enjoyed every one. We purchased this book at a Amway convention we attended and we were very happy we did. This is a must read for the whole family.
