Because many of the quotes from Love Daily come from books including A Serenity Journal, I though perhaps this was a good time to talk a little bit about it.The book happened by accident. My then agent asked me for a copy of my prayer journal, but was rather surprised that it really did contain a line per week from an inspirational poem, a book, or even a prayer.
Since this was not the book she had in mind for me to be writing, she turned it down. A Paulist father, asked me for a book that he might use in his Landings Program. I gave him the manuscript with one caveat, he could add a new beginning, a new ending, but I wanted the words I had written to remain.
He agreed. But then he showed it to Paulist Press, and here is that little book, still selling on Amazon.com, some ten years later.
These quotes that follow are from those who endorsed the book.
No matter where you are on your spiritual path — a clear, elegant guide for beginner and veteran alike.
