Summary:

“Gives Me Hope (GMH) offers user-submitted true stories of kindness and generosity. The stories are sentimental and, at times, almost heartbreakingly sweet. … How can you not love the world after reading [these stories]?”
—CNN

“ GivesMeHope.com … where people share uplifting moments and shore each other up against the vagaries of life.”
—Los Angeles Times

“ [Gives Me Hope] serves it up straight—no chaser necessary.”
—Esquire

At GivesMeHope.com, visitors are invited to submit real-life stories that answer the profound question, “What gives you hope?” As diverse and touching as the human experience itself, the stories tell of life’s magical moments. In this book, the very best of these stories are told artfully through the use of powerful, full-color imagery.


My Thoughts:

This book has become an instant hit between anyone who picks it up.  After receiving it a couple of weeks, I have been displaying it on the coffee table for all to enjoy.  Each and every morning, I pick it up and read a story to become inspired for the day.  Being a busy mom on the go, it is nice to be able to pick this book up and in under a minute find inspiration and hope for the day ahead.  

In addition to reading this book, I have enjoyed visiting givesmehope.com, where you can read additional stories of hope from people all around the world.  Each and every story is touching and will have you thinking about what gives you hope in your life.  

Why not surprise Mom this Mother's Day with this inspirational book, which will truly resonate with her?


Disclosure:  I was sent a copy of this book by the publisher in order to write up an honest review.  The views above are mine and mine alone.
