Some what it to go by quicker -- to be done with it, some wish it would slow down, some wish for more hours in a day, etc. This is a story of the 'consequences' of what we do with time -- how we va...

The book is about time and how it affects our lives from moment to moment. We are all, each and every one of us, ...

When he seeks...

This was a quick and very inspirational read. Do you ever feel like you want more time to do the things that you "think" are important? Be careful what you wish for and read this little book.It is a wonderful lesson, as only Mitch Albom can teach. Our time here on earth is numbered, but it is not...
