My Favorite Book?

I'm not sure I have a favorite book.

Unless Dr. Seuss' "Oh, The Places You'll Go" counts.

There are definite Lucado and Beth Moore titles that I highly recommend. And, of the four books I'm reading right now, "The Circle Maker" tops the charts.

But, a favorite book? That stumped me. In fact, my husband says he's never heard me utter that phrase. It took me more than a minute to think this through, but I kept coming back to a book that's been on my shelf since 1998.

Have you read it? "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and it's all small stuff" crept into my life when I was sweating everything. This tiny book has 100 ways to minimize stress and maximize real living, and while it's not a Bible study, I'd use it as a part of my devotions--there are a number of chapters with relevant verses scrawled at the end.

With chapter titles like, "Practice Humility," "Choose Your Battles Wisely," and "Repeat to Yourself: Life Isn't an Emergency," you'll understand why I've held on to it for so long. Give it a read and let me know what you think. I'll leave you with this snippet from page 20:

"...the purpose of life isn't to get it all done, but to enjoy each step along the way and live a life filled with love..."
