This little book is a gem placed somewhere between a daily devotional and a self-help manual. Broken into short stories or sections this book is easy to dip into for inspiration or to take time out for thought and meditation on what drives us, motivates us and forms our behaviour.Each section ends with a question or challenge giving the reader an opportunity to take a few minutes for private reflection or meditation to consolidate his or her thinking on the topic of the chapter.While the author uses personal experiences or memories as the hook upon which to hang each chapter she also makes effective use of other illustrations or analogies to get her message across.It is clear from the outset that this author has a strong Christian faith but at no time does she push this in the reader's face. Rather, her faith seems to form a powerful part of the meditative practice of reflection which is key to this little volume.I'd recommend this book as something to be taken a small piece at a time and appreciated like a fine wine.
