    Beautiful Book

    This book was a gift and one of the most wonderful gifts we've recieved, at that. It's such a lovely way to understand the art of raising children. So simple and wise. Of course, it probably won't help in the middle of a temper tantrum, but it will help put things in perspective for you.

    Simplicity rocks!

    This book is one of the ways I have changed my life. It makes a lot of sense and doesn't require a major spiritual or religious background to understand. I have picked up the entire trilogy and savor each chapter. They are always by my bed or in the bathroom so I can read a chapter before I go to bed or... well, it's all good. Highly recommended!!!

    Spiritual Simplicity

    I read about this book in Oprah's magazine last week (September issue of 'O') and thought it would be a nice gift for a married couple I know that are about to have a set of twins. I picked a copy up last night and finished it today. Now, I have to buy another copy because I am not going to give this one up. Each chapter is one or two pages long and every page is so rich with wisdom, I would have to close my eyes for a few moments to let the words sink in. I don't have children yet but this book means a lot to me. I felt like a good father was telling me everything was going to be all right.
