    " This book is filled with wisdom and many simple reminders about things we probably already know. That does not negate the need to hear again the calls to live "right." We need to have inspirational books like this to call us back to what is important sometimes. The end feels a bit disorganized but again, each little chapter wrapping up the book is another reminder about how to live a quality life for ourselves and those we have been called to live with. "
