It is filled with a vast collection of short, concise stories that speak of the mercy and grace of God in some of the most unusual, inspiring, and trying situations and circumstances.
I especially enjoy knowing that all of these are true stories. I tend to be more inspired by Non fiction than by fiction. It truly helps to grow my faith from that of a mustard seed into that of a mustard plant.
I enjoyed the fact that the stories were short and the chapters easy to read. I could easily get through four or five stories while riding on the bus and not have to worry about having to stop reading in the middle of a chapter and having to, perhaps, start reading over again because I forgot where I had left off.
Some of the stories made me laugh, others made me cry, but all of the stories gave me hope and made me realize that, even on my lowest days, there can be silver lining found around the clouds in my world, giving credence to the old adage, there is always someone in this world who is worse off than you are.
Whether you want to reminisce with an elderly person about days gone by, or whether you want to see the world through the eyes of an innocent young child, there's something for everyone amongst the pages of this book. It's a book that I'm sure I will return to and read again and again.
Since this book is not actually a 'story' per se, there is no particular order in which the pages have to be read. I read the book from cover to cover but not from one chapter to the next. I looked at the titles of each chapter and chose whichever one or few that suited me for that day or for that moment.
I enjoyed reading the accounts in this book and would recommend it to people who like non fiction, true life stories, and inspiration.
