The right book at the right time is an answer to prayer. Phillip Keller continues to speak to me like no other author can. It has nourished my soul and calmed my spirit and pointed me directly to Jesus.

A sweet read for those who wished Keller was still alive to mentor to us all.

[Dr. Kim]

Phillip Keller never fails to inspire me and want a much closer walk with our Lord. I LOVE his books and this one is no exception. He shares so much of his own personal life and how he learned the important life lessons.

Keller's fiftieth book in fifty years of writing pinpoints twenty-one ways to embrace deeper meaning and joy in our daily lives, beginning with knowing God firsthand. Timeless, and one of his best. I've read it twice (4/99 & 2/02).

Great book to re-gain perspective. I ordered a copy to keep one on my "re-read" shelf.
