Bigger Than Its Size Suggests

This is a very well written, informative and thoughtful book. While not very long, it contains bits of wisdom that will actually make the reader contemplate what they are reading. I read this while sitting in the library, but would not hesitate to buy it from one of the "lower price" sellers. A good blend of Christianity and Buddhism. Recommended!

The best things come in small packages

I passed by this book four times, picking it up, and putting it down - three times. It seemed too much money for so little book. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are someone who can think and read between the line(s) (as many of the exceprts ARE just one line!) then this will be a very fulfilling book for you. If you need a framework to support the observations, then maybe you should get the full book. Either way, it's a wonderful way to spend many a half an hour, reading and re-reading.
