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
