Creeds of Life, Love & Inspiration: A Guidebook of Everyday Wisdom & Thought

I found this book to be very good. I enjoyed the first time, I read it and I am enjoying it again. If you love poetry and different quotes then you will love this book. I too, wish that it was hardcover because the binding becomes worn after several readings of it.

This compilation of poems and lyrical writings is wonderful for time spent in reflection or relaxation. I purchased this book because it contains a reading that my future husband and I will have read at our upcoming wedding. The reading, by Douglas Pagels, "May You Always Have an Angel by Your Side" was at the beginning of the book and is perfect for our special day. Much of the book continues in this spirit. Many wonderful writers have been collected here such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and E.E. Cummings. There are also some surprising entries such as the one from Dolly Parton. The cover and inside pages have beautiful watercolor and other media paintings. This book gives many life lessons and a few of my favorite are titled "Believe in Yourself" and "May You Always Feel Loved". There are also some excellent untitled pieces. The only disappointing thing about this book is that it does have a firm paperback cover and I wish it had a hard cover front and back. Overall, a wonderful read that will be picked up from time to time to glean a thoughtful word from.
