Spiritual Wisdom from and for Regular People

This is a great book. It contains moving stories and inspiring insights. The author gathers spiritual wisdom from regular people. He doesn't try to come across as an expert. He's not afraid to reveal his humanity and frailty. He has opinions, but he doesn't appear to be judgmental. The book expresses deep truths in a real way. Highly recommended.

BEAUTIFUL!

I loved this book, and immediately ordered a dozen more for birthday gifts. Mr. Collins' storytelling is superb. I think I'd like to run into him in a coffee house some day!

Miracle indeed! Insights . . . is a serendipitous read!

"Insights" was a lovely read. This beautifully done, exquisitely written little book was an event that I instantly wanted to share. It's the kind of book that I'll buy for everyone I know. The author drew me in immediately & I found myself involved in each individual and their challenge to have a triumph of spirit. More than that, each story was a personal inspiration. While I did not relate to all of the personal styles, I found myself swept up in all of their journeys to find solace and strength.

Insights from the Coffeehouse

Insights from the Coffeehouse is a collection of true stories of the human spirit and its strength in the face of adversity. The tales are told without sentimentality and are therefore all the more poignant. Woven between the stories are insights which ask the reader to contemplate his own spirit and its strengths and weaknesses. Some of the stories may seem fantastic and beyond the realm of reality. However, the author remains firmly grounded with a healthy skepticism, allowing the reader to draw his own conclusions. At the same time, we are gently reminded that these stories are of the human spirit and therefore should be read without prejudice.This book is a must read for anyone who has ever wondered how we all survive the vagaries of life's tumultuous path.
