Perhaps the best-known anthology by the King of the Story Tellers! Who but Hanoch Teller could convert heart-warming stories overheard in taxies and related by cabbies into a best-seller that has stood the test of time and withstood the vagaries of the reading public. A generation was raised on “Hey, Taxi!;” their progeny should not be denied!

I really enjoy inspirational short stories, but I tend not to take them 100% seriously all the time. It's hard to know how much of it is fabricated or glossed over to make them more believable. And sometimes the inspiration created is shallow. But the stories that gave me chills did so effectively. And I definitely enjoyed the read.
