Timely passages for my recent graduate son. Robert Schuller is amazing in his daily writings. My son needed some positive uplifting thru a time at a new job not going well. I opened the book to the day and unbelieveable, the passage was exactly what my son needed. I e-mail him daily of each passage for the last month and my son has a new outlook at his job and his life. I purchased this book to give to him, instead, I read it daily, then type an e-mail to my son. He asks for them when I miss a day. He is a 28 year old man with a new sales job, working hard and now engaged to be married and will convert to catholicism. I am so proud of him, he just needed a lift and the real man came forward. Thank you Robert Schuller for your positive attitude.
