Summary: A Book to Give to My Daughters
Review: I found this book when I was on vacation and looking for a book on grace before meals for myself and to give as a gift. As soon as I got it home and began to read it, I realized that it was the perfect little book to share with my five daughters and my daughterinlaw. It could be a gentle way to encourage the spirituality of daily living and of looking for the sacred in the mundane, especially for those who don't think they have the time to attend to the spiritual dimension of their lives or who are looking for a way to enhance that dimension for their families, but are not involved in a religious community or practice. I hope that with the help of this book they will be inspired to create such an atmosphere for their children.

Summary: A scripture for everyday life
Review: I love this book. It is so unassuming and poetic. This is the kind of writing and thinking that we need to help us find the core values of everyday life. Mr. Nerburn helps us see the importance of the people and moments we often ignore. I think everyone should read this book and use it to measure the greatness of their own heart.

Summary: A Book to Give to My Daughters
Review: I read this book in one night. It has made a huge impact on my life and the time I spend with my toddlers, my step-daughter, my husband and those other relatives some of which I find very annoying. I have given dozens away. It is the perfect wedding, housewarming, baby, birthday, anytime gift (and so affordable!!) Please give it a chance; you won't regret it!

Summary: One of my favorite authors
Review: My introduction to Kent Nerburn was "Simple Truths." I loved the book, and still reread chapters. I couldn't believe a guy could write such a book. I have since read "A Haunting Reverence" (I am originally from Minnesota and was interested in his take on the place), "Neither Wolf nor Dog," and "Small Graces." I was hesitant about purchasing Small Graces. Again, as a female and a single parent, I did not think a man could say anything I would find meaningful about ordinary life. He has a wife to make his life easier. But I am such a fan of Nerburn's that I did purchase the book. And he didn't let me down. I found the book touching, insightful, and meaningful even for a female single parent. "Small Graces" and "Simple Truths" are permanently on my nightstand.Nerburn has a sensitivity that comes through in his writing, whether or not he is sensitive as person. I appreciate his eloquence and his choice of subject matter obviously appeals to me. R.S. Audette
