I like the fact that the stories are short, informing and have quotes that are enlightening. Nice review.

This book is effective. This is because it was written out of experience, and directed to the younger generation. This review didn't fail to capture this fact.

One of the things I like best about this review is you mention how the author has his stories split somewhat categorically..."Power of Encouragement, "Actions Speak Louder Than Words", "Making Mistakes is Okay", and "Pick Others Up."

This gives me a really good idea of what the book will be like. As I am on this "Every day is a gift" journey myself, I appreciate hearing stories from others on the same journey.

Thanks for enlightening me...I will surely make time to read this!

The positivity in this book is something of its kind. I love the fact that the author wanted to shed some light on the importance of now. Most of us in our minds are either in the future or in the past. Its a great book. Thanks for a nice review.

A book of encouragement that it is good to wake up to hope in midst of chaos. Read some articles of the 9/11 attack and must recommend this book to anyone who lost any loved ones prematurely

It is an awesome collection of inspiring stories. Each story is gripping in its own way. I love Paul E. Kotz's idea of spreading love, mercy and justice. Definitely, we need such characters in the cruel world we live in, even though they are rare. I found it very educative on day-to-day interactions. Sometimes, you may judge someone by their reactions, only to realize their reaction is driven by an underlying stress. I will always be kind and considerate. Thanks for an amazing, insightful review. Congratulations BOTD.

I admire the author for wanting to leave something behind for his daughters. It's nice, as well, that we can benefit from it. I could always use a bit of encouragement in my life. I'll have to put this one my list. Thanks for the fabulous reviewThis book reminds me of other titles that I have read through the online book club. It sounds like his aim is to get his readers to be aware of the present moment and take in the simple things in life. Great idea about giving this away as a gift! Thanks for this insightful review. The sample pages gave nothing as far as what even one story was like. So thank you for sharing this information.
