The Gift Is In The Giving

<p>The book that you are about to read chronicles five journeys that travel from tragedy to triumph illustrating the power of the human spirit.  We have all read Dicken’s <em>Christmas Carol</em> and O. Henry’s <em>Gift of the Magi</em> as works of fiction but this book shows actual stories true to life stories of people in dire situations who were relieved by small acts of kindness.  Each story documents a person or family in need of emotional or material help and sometimes both; encountered in my line of duty as a fire fighter for the past 32 years.  <em>The Gift is in the Giving</em> shows how by offering a minimum of compassion to others the happiness you bring returns to you tenfold.</p><p>"I hope you enjoy reading <em>The Gift is in the Giving</em> as much as I enjoyed living it.” - Bill Arienti</p>
