Some of these short stories were very true to the Cup of Comfort series. They were heartwarming and encourage one to see things in a different light. Unfortunately, this particular version just had too many that failed to meet the title of heroism, and strength and fit more with the Triumph portion. I'm not trying to be mean, but some of the stories just really sounding more like bragging or writing just to be published which was disappointing. In comparison to others in this series I would say this is my least favorite.

A collection of short stories describing individual's courage. Worth reading but I'm never a fan of short stories.
