Review

You will find many stories with heart-warming messages and some lighthearted ones as well. I believe the main focus that makes this a national bestseller is the universal cry of pursuing effective meaning in life and gathering better self-esteem so that one can help others. I think you will undoubtedly find a favorite short story here that you can personally relate to. I like Kahil Gibran's quote, 'For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow.' There's an encouraging snippet about Abraham Lincoln, 'Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.' I especially love Bobby Gee's story on A Legacy Of Love. Guaranteed, you will burst into tears. It will grab your heart and imprint a lasting memory regarding sowing seeds of love into another.

5/5 stars! Recommend!

I recently finished reading another book in the series and posted my review, Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul. These paperback books usually cost around $12.00 I've seen them at Costco for around $8.00 and I'm sure you can find used ones online for a good deal. I received the series as a gift from my mother-in-law. I do enjoy them!

Happy Reading!

My Review

You'll find excerpts from Leo Buscaglia, Oprah Winfrey, Kathie Lee Gifford, Maya Angelou, and Dolly Parton to name a few. For example, Leo talks about his mother being the heart of the home and cooking her Italian Minestrone Soup. So very touching. Oprah encourages and exhorts us to 'be the kind of woman who in the face of adversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge. Kathie Lee's story of Stacey Nasalroad will move you to tears, while Dolly's memory of singing on the Opry will cause your own self to believe in your dreams! This is a beautiful, inspiring book so excellent for gift giving.

5/5 stars. Recommend.
