5.0 out of 5 stars Chicken Soup for the Prisoners Soul?, December 25, 2000

By A Customer

I bought this book for my son Ted who is in jail. I was looking for a book that would inspire him and tell him stories of other people who have overcome great hardships in life. My son said the book moved him deeply and brought tears to his eyes several times.

Ted is a drug addict, suffers from serious depression and broke several laws. He was eventually jailed for his crimes. I believe that he has much potential but he made many unwise decisions and jail is the appropriate place for him to take his punishment.When he leaves jail he will then go to in-patient treatment for his drug problem. He will need all the strength and courage he can find. I want Ted to understand that he has the opportunity to change his life, that other people have overcome greater problems than he faces and I hoped this book would help. I think it did just that.

If you know someone who is not making wise decisions, who feels life is unfair and needs the courage to take control of the their life--then this is the book for them. Buy it and give it to them. Who know, maybe you will help someone change their life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Touching, motivating, inspiring stories., October 17, 1999

By A Customer

I have just finished reading it, my first Chicken Soup book too, and enjoyed most of the stories. One of the stories stood out. It was about a young girl, Arlyn, titled Wind Beneath My Wings, written by her mother after her Arlyn's death. In this busy, hectic world, we get so busy, it was a good reminder for me to listen more carefully to my own daughter. At the end of the book the author's mailing and email addresses were listed - I think that is an extra bonus! I would recommend the book, and this story, for anyone who has a child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pick it up read a story-feel inspired!, August 6, 2000

By	Bernadette A. Moyer (Lutherville, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A wonderful collection of insightful and inspiring short stories from a variety of authors. Each and every story is filled with thoughtful inspiration and sharing.

Sometimes I just have a few minutes to read a quick story and this is a great title to do that with. The stories are varied but the common theme is the strength of the human spirit.

I also fully enjoyed the unique bio pages on all the contributors. Well done and easy to read!
