Summary: A Book That Will Change Your Life
Comment: Caring in Remembered Ways is one of those rare, remarkable books that inspires without preaching and shows how powerful and healing simple acts of listening, touching, and caring can be. Maggie Davis' writing is eloquent and has the ability to speak to the heart in a way that awakens the desire to reach out to people. On every page are anecdotes, observations, insightful passages from philosphers, poets, caregivers and ordinary people doing extraordinary acts of compassion. This is a lovely book to hold and keep nearby. It is the kind of book you can open to any page and find a little gem that can move and remind you how precious life is. There are passages in this book that brought tears to my eyes and others that brought a smile to my lips. I highly recommend this book to people in the caring professions, or to anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of people they know or have met for the first time. I can't imagine how anyone's life would ever be the same after reading this very special book.

Summary: Rewarding, comforting, inspiring reading.
Comment: Maggie Davis' Caring In Remembered Ways is a practical, tender, heartwarming, poignant, powerful little book honoring those deep-seeing ways known to the human heart. Here is a reminder that true caring neither begins or ends at the beside of someone charged to our care, but extends to all life. Caring In Remembered Ways is highly recommended, rewarding, comforting and inspiring reading for anyone charged with a professional or voluntary relationship to someone in need, no matter the circumstances of their lives or ours.

Summary: Wise Words of Loving Kindness
Comment: CARING IN REMEMBERED WAYS is the kind of book I reach for when I crave nourishing insights during trying times in my life. Maggie Steincrohn Davis' book about loving and caring for ourselves and others is true food for the soul, written like poetry. Thirty-one graceful entries gently serve up tasty morsels of ancient wisdom (such as how to see from the heart, or face times when loved ones are dying) alongside a garnish of amusing and heart-warming personal anecdotes.

I love the way Maggie understands all the subtle nuances of care-giving, and the ways love can reach through any situation, when we imagine it can. She writes, "Only by reaching 'beyond-the-beyond' of people -- behind their eyes, back of their pain, beneath their blaming and irritation and fussing -- do we make a path to the best in them. Treating someone with compassion who does not treat us well in return might be our fullest offering of love, as well as our own greatest relief during the daily rounds of vigilance and giving."

In this book, every sentence feels like a prayer and a meditation on love and compassion. As I read each comforting entry, I find myself feeling like I'm back in the warm, sunny days of my childhood -- snugly wrapped by my mother in a fluffy towel after a warm bath. CARING IN REMEMBERED WAYS can help brighten and warm even the darkest, coldest days in one's life. It's the ideal pick-me-up for anyone who grows weary of caring for and nurturing others, and even oneself.
