This is a lovely little book. Poems, quotes, and scriptures are interwoven to provide encouragement and comfort for life's difficult circumstances. One of my favorite quotes in this book is from Corrie Ten Boom: Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow - it empties today of its strength. This would make a wonderful gift book for a friend who is walking a dark road. . .or for yourself.
