From the Publisher
Quote from Body, Mind, Spirit Magazine - June '98
"Kent Nerburn writes graciously and gracefully about life's smallest and most-taken-for granted joys. As he says, "We dream our lives in grand gestures, but we live our lives in small moments." In this beautifully eloquent book, Nerburn shares brief stories that illuminate those moments, showing us the true joy available in our ordinary, everyday lives. A worthy companion piece to the author's widely praised 'Simple Truths: Clear and Gentle Guidance on the Big Issues of Life' and full of gentle wisdom, 'Small Graces' show us how to look again at the gifts that abound in our world — from the magic of clouds to the eloquence of silence. "We do not all live holy lives," Nerburn writes. "But we live in a world alive with holy moments." Small Graces is a book to keep nearby, to read and re-read, and to give away. This small book is itself one of life's small graces." Body, Mind Spirit Magazine 6/98

The book with heart
This book, Help me find the true meaning of life. We all have something to live for, everyday we have 24 hours to live, life is wonder, mystery. I recommend this book.

A Must Read - and Read Again Book
One of the best books I have ever read. I keep it on my nightstand and often read a chapter or two before bed. I have purchased a number of copies to give as gifts. A great book for gaining perspective and learning to see the wonder in the everyday events of life, both good and bad. It isn't fanciful fluff, but is the real stuff of which life is made. A real gem - this one will touch your heart and soul.
