"Everyone has someone who needs to hear these words." Life is made up of all kinds of days. Everyone everywhere has times when the sun is shining in their lives... and times when it's not. This is a book for the gray days that visit us all. Written with just the right blend of reassurance and encouragement, it reaches out and helps us realize how to bridge the gap between where we are... and where we want to be. You'll find guidance and understanding in this book, along with one of the finest "one day at a time" poems ever written. And you'll also discover much, much more. You'll feel that you're the one it was written for. It's from an author who understands where you're coming from, how difficult things can be, and how important it is to find the better day that's waiting for you. You'll be comforted by the warmth and concern, inspired by the advice, and confident about moving on in a more positive direction. Douglas Pagels writes about encouragement in the same wonderful way he writes about everything: with words that reflect the feelings in our own hearts. As a bestselling author and editor, he has inspired millions of readers with his insights and his anthologies. No one is better at touching on so many subjects that are deeply personal and truly universal at the same time.
