Find wisdom with these weekly meditations from the bible and other great Western literature.


This book stops time and takes you on a journey of self-reflection. It's a collection of lessons extracted from literature and The Bible. Divided into fifty-two chapters, with each chapter being a few minutes' read, it's intended to be your companion for fifty-two weeks, a whole year of self-discovery, after which you're bound to be a wiser, better, happier person.


Each chapter begins with a few quotations that "have been selected with care from a wide field of literature" which encompasses works of Shakespeare, Longfellow, Emerson, and many others.


The teachings display how money and power aren't everything, how you can find fulfillment in a simple life. They compel you to see beyond the materialistic world and claim your treasures in the kingdom of God.


"The world has a wrong way of estimating values. It calls the proud happy. It is deluded by bulk and glitter. It is awed by exalted position. It lays too much stress upon quantity and not enough on quality."


"God's quality folks, whether rich or poor, wise or untutored, high or low, are those who love His law and who think upon his name."

"Let no man think that he could die and a place would not be empty. The most telling work is always done behind the scenes."
