Amazon.co.uk Review
It's like home-made chicken soup that warms the chill and heals the ill. This collection of 101 stories is based on the belief that true testimonies of goodness and loving transformations can nourish us to the bone and heal the cynicism in our hearts. Indeed, nearly every story seeps in deeply. It's hard not to shed a tear of gratitude, feeling thrilled to have been touched and soothed so easily. Some of the authors are famous, such as Dan Millman, who writes an exquisite vignette on "Courage," and Gloria Steinem, who writes of "The Royal Knights of Harlem." Many, however, have a short, simple story to tell about an event, a person, an everyday miracle that exemplifies the best of the human spirit.

Two of America's best-loved inspirational speakers team up to share recipes for Spiritual healing--stories that represent the prime ingredients of what is possible, that warm the heart, delight the spirit, and confirm our right to be more fully human. --Amazon.com

Christians Beware
Overall, I'm pleased to see this sort of book gain popular acceptance in a world that seems to be getting more cynical and weary every day. There is a lot of merit and encouragement to be found in this book, and most of it is well worth reading.

However, the authors also shoehorned some pretty "out there" New Age material into the book (magical healing powers of the hands, humanism, etc.) I was really taken by surprise to find some of this stuff in the midst of such otherwise positive and morally strong material.

But the rest of the book is still very much worth reading.

Do your soul a favour - give it some chickensoup!
I first read this book at a height of 37,000 feet whilst flying to the USA. It was a joy to read over and over again

Have the tissues handy:
A real heart-wrenching, joy bringing, humbling, up-lifting book that you will read over and over again.
