Summary: I'm not even Christian and I LOVE THIS BOOK!! READ IT!
Review: Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul is undeniably the BEST one of the Chicken Soup series! I'm not a religious person so I wasn't sure what I'd get out of the book so imagine my shock when I put down the book with tears streaming down my face. Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul feeds and nourishes the soul by its tales of enduring faith. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT!!! You don't have to be Christian to relate to this book. It is for anyone looking for a guiding light.

Summary: You gotta buy this book!
Review: I am still reading this but, it has been just as fun to read as all the others I have read. The short stories are good for me and my hectic schedule and short attention span(I am 25 years old and getting better on the attention part). If I need a little laugh, I go to the funny part,and, every section has a different type of short stories in it. Of course, some will make you feel like crying or touch your soul, some will make you giggle or maybe even burst out laughing if you have had the same experience. The "Family Circus" cartoons are light-hearted ways to look at important things as well. You gotta buy this book!

Summary: Okay, but the earlier books were MUCH better
Review: I loved this book. I bought it with a giftcard I got for my birthday. I read through it when I was at a point in my life when I had doubts about God. In a way, God led me to read this book and it helped to open my mind and my heart about God and His love for me. I truly recommend this book.

Summary: A great spirit...
Review: Most of the series of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' has the kind of warm and fuzzy story that many find endearing and sweet. They are not 'deep' most of the time, but do point to things beyond themselves; for my own use, I often find sermon illustrations and stories within the pages of volumes of Chicken Soup -- as chaplain at a retirement centre, many of the stories help people to recall happier times, and help them deal with their present situation.This particular volume involves stories with specifically Christian themes. The broad topics of the Christian life - love, giving (generosity), family and parenting, faith and hope, overcoming obstacles, death and dying - all these are addressed here, the contributing authors making explicitly Christian connections in their narratives. Much in the manner that Readers Digest accepts unsolicited stories from amateur authors, so does the Chicken Soup series. Often the most meaningful stories are those that happen to people who are not professional writers. However, there are 'names' among the contributors to this volume; Each of this stories can easily be read in a short time. This makes it a good source for 'falling-asleep reading', for use in public speaking and preaching opportunites, for shared reading-aloud times, and for simple enjoyment and entertainment. Many of the stories here are ones that stay with you; these are stories I use again and again in my chaplaincy, and they are always appreciated. The editors of the primary series 'Chicken Soup' are Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen; for purposes of this volume, they are joined by Patty Aubrey and Nancy Mitchell, who also helped with the 'Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul' volume.

Summary: Your heart and life will be touched like never before...
Review: The scores of short stories contained within this emotion-impacting book span a wide range of life-affecting topics that include love (15 stories), giving (11), parents and parenting (15), faith (12), levity (11), overcoming obstacles (11), perspective (11), and death and dying (15). The carefully selected stories (from thousands submitted) provide insight into the person God has called us to be, the actions God expects us to take, and the faith and attitude God expects us to adopt and profess. Scattered between the selections are both comics and thought-provoking quotations relevant to the section that they appear in. Contributions for this outstanding 375+ page work were supplied by individuals such as the late Norman Vincent Peale, Corrie ten Boom, Dick Van Patten, Charles W. Colsen, Gary Smalley, Joan Wester Anderson, and Dick Van Dyke. All stories are presented in a very readable level in which the reader can relate to the themes discussed and are short enough that single stories can be read in a session and then pondered. Your life will be more spiritually fulfilling and be more positive upon completion of reading this book if you take these stories to heart. Do yourself a favor... A MUST read!

Summary: This book lightens your soul.
Review: These stories helped to enlighten my soul like no other publication that I have ever read. The flow of emotions in my body as I read each story brought a certain sorrow and joy to me. The stories of lost love and friendship greatly affected me. I felt like I could relate to these people, like I have had the same emotions that they are experiencing in their time of pain. I have been through some tough times, and it makes me feel better to know someone else has too.
