Customer Reviews

A warm expression of what we all need.

I found this book to be the perfect perscription for everyone from school-age students to corporate managers, and all could greatly benefit from it's content. The book's talks of grace are right on, and the author's personal stories and recollections further imphasized how important, and lucky we are to have graceful giants walking among us. I hope all will read this book, as I have, and like me continue to follow Mr. Litchfield's guidance in the pursuit to becoming a Graceful Giant.

An Answer to the Question of "What now?"

What I noticed, as I read this book, is that even though there is reference to "God" throughout, its inspiration can be universal if one simply substitutes the name of their "Source". The common threads that run through most religions are `love one another' and `do unto others'. Graceful Giant is a `How to' book that guided me to the recognition of the qualities in me that would allow me to live the kind of life I had only been SAYING I wanted to live. It gave me the courage to use those characteristics to overcome even the most complex obstacles that have been blocking me in my life. As a result of reading the book and putting Mr. Litchfield's suggestions into practice, I feel a greater connectedness to ALL others, no matter what religion. I feel peace and love in my heart and notice that intimacy, in the purest form, abounds in my life.Graceful Giant is an easy book to read, and, although I myself don't have young children at home anymore, WOULD be great to read and discuss as a family - any family of any religion - keeping in mind appropriate 'translations'.I liked the way Mr. Litchfield first presented the most common characteristics of a Graceful Giant and then gave me exercises to help me develop them. Now, more than ever, we need all the help we can get to bolster our courage to step up to the plate, and live our lives with joy and peace and love...and passion!In my opinion, the contents of this book represent the pebbles that, when thrown into the river of humanity, could ripple out and make a huge difference in our world. If you're looking for 'A way', this COULD be it!

Wonderful

It's clear that Mr. Litchfield has found a topic that needs to be addressed. And his unique background of West Point and church leader gives him a very special view of what a graceful giant should be and all the good that can be done in this world by individuals. I enjoyed this book so much.

Graceful

This is the best book I've read in a very long time. It has a fresh style of writting that is a pleasure to read. And the content is one that every parent should read with their children. I would also recommend that it be read by every physician and health care worker. I look forward to the author's next book.

To Be a Graceful Giant

An interesting view of the World that every parent should share with his children and every physician should read. It's very well written and freshly inspirational. I loved it.
