Great meditation book Jessica M Shaw I love this book. I pull it out year after year during Christmas, Easter and other Christian holidays. It is full of stories written by different well-known authors. Each chapter is short and self-contained, so it's easy to put it down and just pick it up again whenever you get inspired..

I've given many copies as gifts through the years and have been thanked for this book over and over. I especially love the chapter.on Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
