Introduction
The Chicken Soup Series definitely need no introduction to anyone.
Behind the Book
"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle."
-Albert Einstein
About the Authors Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen & Raksha Bharadia
'Me' thinksLife has a habit of springing up surprises for us. Just when we think it’s all over it lands a big surprise for us to take back our words. I am sure all of us would be able to relate to these words at least sometime in our life. We all have our own share of miracles and not to forget most importantly our life is a miracle. But what happens is that in all this chaos e sometimes take life for granted. And VOILA!! We have a miraculous experience in our lives which changes our entire perspective.
This book is a collection of wonderful coincidences, rediscovered faith and stronger beliefs. It feels amazing to know that despite all the clutter in this world hope still lives here. Still there are people around who believe in the Supreme power and the guardian angels that surround us. Each page that you turn makes your belief stronger that the world is actually full of miracles. It leaves you feeling blessed to be alive in this beautiful world surrounded by such charismatic things.
My favourite quote from the book:
“People see God every day, they just don’t recognize Him”. – Pearl Bailey
This thought reminds me of my article Angels – Made in Heaven where I have mentioned about we being surrounded by magical people who have the ability to share our joy, wipe our tears and make us laugh till our stomachs ache. This book is full of such soul stirring experiences which inspire us to look around for our own share of miracles. Each one of us could do with a little bit of magic and love in our lives. It is a beautiful experience to feel these stories so closely and reinstate your faith in Almighty.
If you are looking for some miracles in our life, do grab this serving of Chicken Soup with both your hands. Definitely a must read for one and all. I would like to conclude with a wonderful prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr:
“GOD – grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the
things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
P.S: This book review was published in Kaleidoscope Magazine's March 2012 issue.
Foodie verdict : Reading this book is like eating an ice cream ; you know it is melting hence you want to eat it fast but you also don't want it to finish as it is simply too good!!
