Reading this book is like listening to a community of people who have come together to share their most touching life moments. Some of the transformative stories are showing the ways we touch each other’s lives. Others are showing how we can learn, grow and live differently. Most of the stories are relaxing, and some bring smiles to your face. While others make you think deeply. Some of the inspiring stories are about what we learn in life, others are what we learn after a loved one's death and how we choose to live through grief. There is much to be discovered by hearing another’s thoughts on their life’s choices, journey’s and trials. I feel blessed to have been able to listen and learn from these great writers. I think show more everyone who loves goodness and encouraging stories would enjoy reading this book. Total listening time for the audiobook is about 12 hours. show less
