Life: One to a Customer

Life allows no reruns, no retakes - just one to a customer. Yet as Elaine Cannon points out, sometimes we are so busy existing that we forget to live. She offers suggestions on how to make this one-of-a-kind experience sparkle. In the book's four sections, four aspects of living come under the author's perceptive eye - Growing, Choosing, Remembering, Linking. Principles such as change, self-control, and trouble seen as a gift, represent the growth. Perspective, free agency, and ever differing views call for choice, discernment, decision. Memory relives beauty, freedom, and other exercises in joy. Links tie soul to soul in priceless and everlasting associations, especially in families. The author adds life to life with appealing stories and examples that light up every page. This one-time life, she indicates, is an exciting adventure.
