Review:
"It's been a long time since I have read anything so fresh, so useful, and so full of common sense. I love the many sparkling proverbs Brother David has collected. Call them archetypal or mythic. They place us in touch with our humanity and offer a foundation for thinking freshly about everyday situations."
