Riches for the Mind and Spirit : John Marks Templeton's Treasury of Worlds to Help Inspire and Live by

"Studying the wisdom passed down to us through literature helps us realise the impact of everything we say and do, from the shortest words to the smallest gestures," says Sir John Templeton. His anthology of prayers, poems and prose that offer guidance and inspiration for our lives is now back in print in a new edition. In this book, he presents his personal favourites, including Bible passages, works from theology, science, poems, songs, hymns, sermons, fiction, history and other written forms of expression that have helped shape his life. The selections are organised by theme: Talking with God: Passages that deal with god speaking to us and our speaking to god; The power of the spirit: Faith, Hope, and Charity; The power of love: Love and Happiness; The optimum state of mind: Mind power, Positive Thinking, Willpower; Building on Dreams: Courage, Enthusiasm, Progress; Winning through Humility: Humility, pride; Building a Cathedral: Creativity, Perseverance, Work; and God's open door: Thanksgiving, Giving, Forgiveness. There are lessons in the short passages that enrich and bring joy to life.
