This little book is perfect for taking the quiet moment we all need ~each and every day. I carry mine in my purse so it will be handy whenever needed. Think I first ordered one for myself; then, twelve for my colleagues; now, six more copies for Christmas gifts!I believe one copy for everyone would be ideal!

I was guided to the parent book "Gift From the Sea" at a time when my life was falling apart. Sometimes just having the shells when beach living is impossible at the time make all the difference between living and dying. "Wisdom From Gift from the Sea" goes everywhere with me and I use it often - the perfect pocketsized lifeline. I further recommend "Return to the Sea: Reflections on Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gifts from the Sea" by Anne M. Johnson as a companion read to both books.

Amazon made me give it at least one in order to write a review.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote a beautiful book. This "book" does not do it justice. Her flowing prose and eye-opening experiences have been ruthlessly chopped into unrecognizable "meditations". Half the time you have no idea what she's talking about. Yes, I understand the minibook is portable -- and, at 4x3 inches, very easy to misplace -- but the paperback Gift from the Sea: 50th Anniversary Edition is less than twice the size (6.5x5.5) and therefore (in my opinion) just as portable. I was expecting something similar to Meditations from Conversations With God.
I am very disappointed and awaiting a refund.
