This multi award winning book has become a well loved companion to those seeking to derive meaning from difficult life experiences.

These companions, Hope, Faith, and Joy complete the circle of our own becoming.

 

A beautifully crafted metaphor that teaches that these visitors bring with them gifts that can only be gained by making the hard journey that leads to Wisdom’s door. $19.95 Hardcover 144 full color pages.
