The Book of Comforts: Simple, Powerful Ways to Comfort Your Spirit, Body, and Soul by Patricia Alexander and Michael Burgos. (Blue Epiphany, $19.95, Hardcover.)
Comfort is more than a craving shared by people of all ages, races, occupations, lifestyles, and religious beliefs. It's a universal need. Sadly, in today's world of relentless demands, pervasive pressures, and looming doom, comfort has been reduced to a superficial quick-fix: junk food, alcohol, meaningless sex.
But authentic, healthy, meaningful comfort is within easy reach of anyone in need, even inthe most hectic and stressful time. The Book of Comforts is a welcome, accessible source of comforting insights and comforting ideas. More than a collection of cheery aphorisms, this book offers sound comforting advice and instantly useable tips based on the life experience of a wide range of real people.
