5.0 out of 5 stars A classic inspirational read!, September 17, 1998

By A Customer

Light from Many Lamps takes the famous quotes, words, and writings you know and love and expands them with the "story behind the story". An inspiration to all who read it, and a great source for motivational moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Belongs..., October 4, 2000

By	A Positive Guy "Jay" (San Antonio, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

on the bedside tables of every person. When I first read it, I was feeling pretty down but found my spirits lifting with every turn of a page. Especially helpful are the chapters about Harold Russell who lost the use of his hands, but gained in strength and fortitude and Mary Pickford who writes so well about the possibilities of beginning again after failure and setback. I could go on giving example after example of the wonderful inspiration that awaits anyone who reads this book. It's the type of book you can read just a few pages from and get just what you need. You can't go wrong buying this book.
