I LOVED the calligraphy--so pretty! I read this to my Mom as she was making soup this morning and I was drinking coffee in my fleece pajamas. It reminds me that I need not ruminate about the past or worry about the future; I can learn from the past and plan for the future but to be happy I can experience the present moment.

What a load of cheesy drivel. "Be happy, and you'll be happier in life." "Work hard and work smart, and you'll be better at work." This book was a waste of half an hour. I'm glad I borrowed it from the library instead of shelling out $14 for it.

A wonderful parable about priorities in life. I have given this as a gift and shared this as a Children's story in Church various times. The gift of the present. Amazing!

The Precious Present is a great book for introspection. Short, the most words per page was probably twenty. So if you want to be inspired and you only have one minute to spare this is your book.
