Words to Live by: A Journal of Wisdom for Someone You Love

This is a great present for someone!! My family gave me this book. I couldn't believe it. It's great to have thier favorite sayings and see what they think about a lot of things. Some of the things we'd talked about, but lots of the topics were new for us. TIme will tell if I'll agree with all they said, but it was really interesting to hear their thoughts.

This really appealed to me as a gift to my nearly adult grandchildren. I've never seen anything like it. It is an easy way to let someone know what you think it takes to live a good life. I think it's important to pass on what we've learned, big or small. The book is good looking and the questions on each page are really good. There is usually one topic per page, just about right.

This is the perfect graduation gift. My wife and I are filling this out together for our son as a great way to explain our beliefs and advice without a "sit down" lecture. Our son can read it in private, at his own pace and keep it as a record of "us," always. My wife loves writing the parts on love (how to know when you're in love, what makes a good marriage...) and body health (exercise do's and don'ts, good-tasting nutritious meals...) and I like the sections on spirituality (what being spiritual means, what to do when your faith is shaken...) and success (special heroes and mentors, and how to look at failure...). We feel good about doing this for him.
