Summary: A Spiritual Look at the Century
Review: I read this book with my children, not only to give them a sense of the timeline of the last century, but also to give them an appreciation of our spiritual lives, and the spiritual lives of our leaders and newsmakers. These are quotes that aren't typically found in their history textbooks.As we read about the Wright brother's flight in 1903, we thought about how much has changed. And as we read about the work of Mother Teresa late in the century, we realized how little has changed. We read some famiiar voices and some that were new to us, but always voices that inspired and challenged us. This isn't a book that we have read and placed on a shelf, we go back to it again and again.

Summary: Better than Chicken Soup
Review: I'm suspicious of cheesy quote books, but this book isn't fluff. It's a profound and poetic collection, great to read before bedtime or peruse whenever.

Summary: Inspiring Collection
Review: Pithy quotes summarize profound truths in memorable ways. One is able to retain the essence of a truth when it is presented in a context whereby memory is aided. Using a Christian worldview, these editors have compiled a substantial amount of wisdom and framed it in a format that helps one in referring back to it. The format of the book is the compilation of quotes from people covering a 100 year period. The power of the written word is reinforced in this collection. Contributors are people who have left their mark. Regardless of age or background this collection has something of value to add to the quality of anyone's life.
