Ruth Fishel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1990

Words can inspire, motivate and change us if we let them. Words can lift us to action. Words can move us to anger and rage or to love and tears. Most important, words can heal.

May the words in this book be an inspiration for you when and as you need it. Read it by the page, one day at a time, or at random as you are so moved. Know that you are worthy of joy, that you deserve to have joy in your life. May you take this time to find joy and may you know peace and love.

5.0 out of 5 stars It changed my life, October 13, 1999

This review is from: Time for Joy: Daily Affirmations (Paperback)

It is not often I can say this about anything much less a book. I can tell you I have had some severe depressions throughout my life and was about at the end of my rope when I found this book. It helped me to let go of what happened in the past and focus on today in the here and now. It also helped me to not think about my happiness as something that will happen in the future, when I have lost weight or when I have reached a goal. I don't know what I would have done without this book in my life and I am ordering another copy to make sure that does not happen. It is a reference guide for living and I consult it occasionally. I highly recommend this book to all!

5.0 out of 5 stars A celebration of life, September 11, 2007

Serendipity "Sandy" (Georgetown, KY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Time for Joy: Daily Affirmations (Paperback)

This may be a book aimed at the AA-whatever "crowd," and, as an earlier reader has noted, for the jaded this is a book that might make such a reader nod in boredom. However, for those of us who recognize the realities of life -- which include joy -- it can become a touchstone of sorts.

From time to time, we all have "difficult days" that can leave us confused and frightened. This book reminds us that there is much to be gained from this moment, this feeling, this time -- as icky as they might be -- and then helps us to see the sunshine amid the clouds that might otherwise distort our perceptions. It gives me quiet serenity.

I am purchasing the book for several family members and friends as gifts.
