From Richer Resources Publications
“Beautiful 
This book is beautiful. The quotes in it really are superb and the photos which accompany it are really nice. I am giving a copy to everyone I know. It is perfect for an association or corporation to give as a gift to their employees, as it not only rewards but inspires as well. We are giving a copy to everyone in our organization. Thank you for this wonderful treasure.” Amazon Customer review
“Inspiration I loved this book for its honest simple inspiration. It was as if the love and care of the author came out through its pages. There are some familiar quotations but lots of new ones (to me at least). Its the kind of book that makes a lovely gift or something to return to again and again for some uplifting words of wisdom.”
