Great way to get a feel for what day-to-day life and events were like as they happened in Nazi Germany.  Highly recommended.

Nice easy read with broad appeal: Who doesn't wish they were doing something else much of the time? This book helps you explore those feelings, understand how deep they run within you and then act on those feelings in a systematic and measured way.

Life affirming and clarifying.  Helps to focus my thinking each day and provides a 'down-time" that makes a difference

I love this book - I finally make sure I have "me" time. Sometimes sitting down at the end of a long week it's nice to have a journal that provides questions for me. The questions really make me think about myself, and I don't need to just repeat the drab day-to-day things that happen in life. Sometimes the questions are funny, sometimes tough. It'll be great to look back on years down the line!

I have been reading this for close to a year. It really is a great start to the day for me. I read it first thing in the morning, and spend some reflective time during the day. In addition, I jot down the key messages in my journal, so that I internalize/interpret the readings. While some may take offense at how it's presented (in a direct way, as though Jesus is talking to you), I find the contemporary and modern language more relevant and impactful. Having the actual scriptures written below the daily reading, is very helpful too, as one can then easily refer to the actual biblical verses that form the basis of the day's passages. After purchasing from this source, I found that one can directly purchase this edition directly from the publisher, thomasnelson dot com, at a lower price (thus, reason why this is 4 stars). The contents is 5 star.

Feb 5, 2017 update - The Dec purchase was for my 92 year old mother. I recently spoke with her, and she was effusively sharing how she found the readings very uplifting and providing her peace of mind and spirit.

This book will make you think about how we each live our life day after day. Insightful indeed.... A good Read to get in tune with yourself.

A fun, light read that touches upon facets of life, to question, review and inspire. I personally found the chapter that held points on finance and negotiation noteworthy. I'll keep the guide for my son to read once he's old enough :)

Thoughtful contemplations of everyday experiences to which a reader can relate. The kind of book to have on hand for a quick moment of reflection, to get you thinking about your own experiences.

Rabbi Twersky presents a pithy and readable guide to living one day at a time.  He believes in looking at each new day as an adventure to be lived wisely and well.  He draws from the Talmud and other sources of his tradition, and the reader discovers, or perhaps re-discovers (perhaps to his or her amazement) that the old sages have something relevant to say today.  There are no new truths here, only old truths packaged in a way that makes them easy to absorb - one day at a time.  This is a great book to keep on the nightstand.  It would be easy to make a habit out of taking one page in the morning or evening.

Makes you feel like you are there....

As a mother contemplating a second baby, I really liked this book because it specifically describes the issues a  new addition presents and you can see yourself in the situations described, and figure out how you would feel and how you would handle it.

While most parenting advice books tell you what to do, sort of generically, Hull's narrative approach allows you to prepare for having a second by sharing her family's experience and comparing what you might do to what the author did.  By focusing on how a second child affects mom, rather then just the firstborn, the author also covers a lot of territory that the parenting guides miss.

Sometimes in life what you need is help with identifying the questions, so you can figure out the answers for yourself. Reading Beyond One  is like having dinner with a girlfriend whose kids are older than yours. You get an intimate view of what might lie ahead from her stories, some good tips and best of all, a chance to think things out for yourself.

Easy/ fast and fun to read because you want to know what happened next, and the vignettes are told with humor (very good for us sometimes-overwhelmed first-time parents).

Simple, but thoughtful book that is a great tool for living a conscious, present, joyful life. The exercises are fun and ones you actually want to do. In fact, the layout of the book helps make the activities rituals and habits instead of just activities. Definitely recommend;-).

I love the personal level this is written on. Dealing with such personal issues, it was nice to feel how hard she works to make you feel like she is in the room and making a personal connection. Very well written and some great insights. I'm looking forward to trying these in real time for my life to see how it affects things.

This book helps you find real-life applications from characters in books (as well as movies) by looking at the hero's experiences and then comparing them to your own life. Since I'm someone who loves reading and learning through stories, this was really interesting to me. I like that the author puts questions in little "Before You Move On" boxes to get you thinking and help you make connections.

We live in a world full of negativity. It's hard not to fall into that trap of constant anger, heartache, frustration, etc. It's easier to stay in that so many times rather than try to do small things to climb out of it. One of the things that I felt was really wonderful about this book is the fact that its consistent. The author takes the time to not only explain each day's lesson but why its important overall.

It's useful for everyday use which is a HUGE bonus in my opinion. You can read the whole thing from front to back, but then go back to each specific day. It's a book that will stay relevant and not collect dust after you're done. It's one self help book that gives back over and over again. I loved the positive vibe and the daily reminder to be inspired by various things. I personally loved it and take a few minutes out of my day to read the days notes.

This book was just what I was looking for, liked it so much bought one for my best friend. It has thought provoking daily entries that stick with you through the day. It's a really nice way to start the day- a way to live more intentionally.

Excellent daily reflections and I like that they are not dated- they are numbered.  If I miss a date I don't feel so bad.  I just read the nest number.
