Inspirational Wisdom for Each Day in a Classic Daybook—“A very good gift . . . A fine inspirational” (Midwest Book Review)
Throughout the last years of his life, Leo Tolstoy kept one book invariably on his desk, read and reread it to his circle of relatives, and advisable it to all his friends: a compendium of wise thoughts gathered over the course of a decade from his wide‑ranging readings in philosophy and religion, and from his own spiritual meditations.
Thoughtful Wisdom for Each Day incorporates Tolstoy’s own most essential ideas about spirituality and what it is to live a good life. Designed to be a cycle of day-to-day readings, this book offers thoughts and aphorisms for on a daily basis, following a succession of themes repeated every month—such as God, the soul, desire, faith, our passions, humility, inequality, evil, truth, happiness, and the blessings of love.Comforting, challenging, and inspiring, this can be a spiritual treasure trove and a book of great warmth.
