I am so very grateful for Stephanie Dowrick's positive contribution to my life.All her books,in their various ways,have provided me with inspiration and invaluable new insights. Their essential message of hope and possibility have greatly enriched both my reading and 'lived life'. It is hard to nominate a favourite, but 'Choosing Happiness'; 'Seeking the Sacred;,and 'Everyday Kindness' are books that I have a special affection for. They have made very welcome gifts for those friends and family members for whom I have also bought these titles ...The 'Universal Heart Book Club' is a great initiative,so many wonderful titles,such little time! Delphine.
