We just recently acquired some books by Kent Nerburn. If you have an e-mail address you must have read his most popular work which does the rounds on or near Valentine’s Day. It is actually Chapter 26 of his book “Letters to My Son.” It is called Partners and Marriage and if you do a search for this title online you will find the article in its entirety. Read it and if you like it (and people usually do), you might want to read more from Mr. Nerburn.

Letters to My Son

Simple Truths

The Hidden Beauty of Everyday Life
Kent Nerburn completes the trilogy he began with his inspirational works Simple Truths and Small Graces. This beautifully written collection contains some of his most touching stories yet. By examining the seemingly insignificant incidents of life — a chance encounter with a boy on a bicycle, a visit to a local school to watch a young girl’s graduation — he shows readers how to look below the surface and find deeper meanings. He calls on readers to listen for the quiet spiritual messages of everyday existence that he calls “God’s whispers.” Crafting stories from common experiences, Nerburn reveals lessons for the soul and opens windows to the heart. Few writers are so capable of moving gently over deep waters. And few give such poignant glimpses into the hidden grace of ordinary days.
