    Heartwarming

    Simple Acts of Faith will undoubtedly be classified as a 'coffee table book,' yet such a bland modifier hardly does justice to this unique collection of heart-warming stories. For one, they breathe life into Norman Rockwell's ageless paintings, while the portraits tantalize one's senses. As I read this book, I felt moved, but not back to the mythical 'good old days' that only existed in people's somewhat memory. Instead, I found myself grasping the reality that community still exists wherever people take the time to care about each other. Such heroic acts make love a reality, in spite of the mad pace of the 21st century. That is something worth celebrating - and taking time to make happen in our own communities.
