"In the Asian tradition of story telling, this book gathers together a great variety of modern- day anecdotes, which are united by the fact that all of them contain a lesson for life. They help one to improve the quality of one's life, as well as one's relationships with others. The stories are relevant, some are also touching ; each is followed by a brief reflection. They are written is a simple style and contain much practical wisdom for young and old, in whatever state of life. The short titles to each story will enable the reader to pick the type of story he/she is looking for."

"The author of this book, Bishop Percy, began collecting his stories long, long ago. Most of these are anonymous. But their anonymity represents eternal wisdom and a timeles value. 'Percy' published these stories regularly in the Examiner, month after month. I always looked forward to reading them. So did thousands of others.

"Here, I would like to give the readers a piece of advice. Do not read this as a story book. Instead, pause, and imbibe its deep meaning and great relevance in our own lives. I, for one, have found it a great companion. Without doubt, this collection contains the wisdom of the ages."
