Customer Reviews

What a way to start the day!

To begin each day spending a few moments with some of the great thinkers and writers of our time and of all time...thank you, Ruth Fishel. For gathering together such an inspirational collection of thoughts that can lead us to personal and, possibly, global peace, thank you. From Elizabeth Barrett Browning to the Buddha, and from Thoreau to Mother Teresa--to say nothing of the countless nameless contributors--what a great way to start the day--or conclude it, if that's when you prefer to spend some quiet time. --Thanks and peace.

This book has become an important part of every day.

This may be Ruth Fishel's best book yet. I read it at night before going to bed and it helps to center me and chase away any turmoil remaining in my mind from the day just past. Each year I choose a meaningful book to give to friends and family and "Peace" is this year's selection.

Peace in our Hearts Peace in the World One of the most inspiring books to come out in a long time

I picked this book up because I was drawn to the beautiful blue color, reminding me of a clear sunny day as the sun is going down. This book is inspiring, to bring peace to ones mind and peace to ones own heart. It reminds us that if we can find peace we can pass it on and then that person can pass it on and maybe, just maybe it becomes contageous and we will all see a change in our world, peace in our lifetime.

Take Back Your Ability to Create Peace

Whether you read this book from front to back as a novel, or each day as a spiritual practice (as the author intends), its concepts will deepen your thoughts and desires for providing peace in the world. In today's challenging world, "peace" seems elusive and shoved into a corner by the media's glare of doom and gloom. This book provides a refreshing change from the negative as it provides,and actually encourages, personal instruction to make a difference. Imagine the possibilities if a mass of people, reading the thoughts each day from this book,join in collective thought toward changing the world! Buy it for yourself and everyone on your gift list. Make this the year to make Peace on Earth a reality! Debbie Hagen, shopkeeper, deborah ann's rainbow; Cape Cod, MA, USA
