Better To Light One Candle

This daybook for the millennium gathers 365 thoughts, stories and reflections from the Christophers, to help everyone bring about positive changes in their lives and the lives of those around them. Each day comes with a moving story, followed by a passage from the Bible and an affirmation. When Father James Keller founded The Christophers in 1945, he chose an ancient Chinese proverb as the motto, the credo, for the movement: It's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. Father Keller wrote the first Three Minutes a Day book of daily reflections in 1949, believing that the most effective exterior action had to come from a strong interior spirituality.The popular series has continued for fifty years. With a story or anecdote for each day of the year plus a scripture verse and a prayer, each volume offers daily inspiration throughout the year. This is the thirty-fourth volume in the series. It is a collection of some of the best stories from several volumes, and to make it a true perennial, it includes a separate section for twenty-five movable holydays and holidays.
