Inspiration

This book is a collection of some of the most moving stories I have ever heard. Many times I was brought to tears by the heart-warming compassion shown in these examples of God's grace and Jesus' love. Knowing that there are others in the world who feel the way I do about God and hearing what they have to say has helped me to become stronger in my faith.

GREAT!

My father died about a month ago and I was looking for a book that was comforting and uplifting. I came across this book and it was perfect! There are so many wonderful stories! If you are going through any problems right now, I would highly suggest this book as a source of comfort.

Magnificent!

When I began reading this book I was a bored, depressed atheist studying the Bible for its historical significance. Now I'm a happy Born-Again Christian, largely due to this excellent book! Christian or Jew, you'll love it!

It was an inspiration

Chicken Soup for the Chrisitian soul is a collection of 101 short stories written by a variety of authors. The book is similar to the Chicken Soup for the Soul, except there are Christian values and beliefs woven into the book. The book really helped me learn how to show Christ in my life, whether it be at school, work, or anywhere. The book had many great stories. One of my favorite stories was The Bible. It is about a young man about to graduate from high school. All of the grads normally get cars as their gifts so he was expecting one. He went out with his father and found a car. He was very excited when the day of graduation came. His dad gave him his present, which was a bible. The boy threw it down and ran out. They never spoke again. Almost 40 years later the boy recieved a phone call that his dad had died. He went home to sort through his dad's belonging. While he was there he found the Bible that his dad gave him. He opened it and there was a check for the exact amount of the car. That story along with many others had a theme. When I was feeling low in my faith I read stories of how people deepened theirs. Reading how others were in the same situation as me help to encourage me. There is a story for every mood and everyday. There are stories on parents and teens fighting. Most teenagers have problems with their parents and sometimes both the parent and the teen feel alone. The book is a good reminder that others are going through the same things. There are stories about miracles if you are feeling like God is missing from your life. The stories taught me how to pick God out of days or even a situation. There are not only stories there are also jokes and comics. There is a whole section called on the lighter side, which is very funny. There are stories on every topic of life. There are stories that will make you cry, laugh, rejoice, and just smile. The book changed the way I look at life, family, friends, and most importantly God. The book opened my eyes to all the little acts of kindness that I sometimes over look. "This will lead you to forgive others for their trespasses asnd yourself for your shortcomings" The book is for everyone.
