Wonder Moments That Keep You Falling in Love With Life

Sometimes it's the smallest things in life that matter most. In Wonder, celebrated writer Arthur Gordon lifts you out of the ordinary into an exhilarating new awareness of the wonderful world in which we live. Originally published in 1974, these treasured glimpses of life will lift your heart on even the darkest of days. In these warm, life-affirming stories, Gordon celebrates the beauty hidden in things that usually don't merit a second glance: an epitaph on a headstone in an ancient cemetery, a small boy's first glimpse of shooting stars, and a legacy of love found in the dusty, faded letters of an ancestor. These are just a few of the "endless free gifts that life offers," if we learn to receive them. Gordon writes, "Almost always there's a lot more to these commonplace happenings than meets the casual eye-and most people would find a lot more in them if only they would pause and look and feel and care just a bit more than they do." You will turn to this beloved book again and again to be reminded that the little things in life are often the most extraordinary.Gordon, Arthur is the author of 'Wonder Moments That Keep You Falling in Love With Life', published 2006 under ISBN 9780800718886 and ISBN 0800718887.
