Experience spiritual renewal and self-rejuvenation. Turn the pages of this book into the pages of your life. A chronicle of hope and inspiration, A Year of Promise opens the doorway to each day with ringing words of inspiration from thirteen religious leaders inviting you to join them in a walk through your day-365 days of the year. It has been said, "We learn nothing from experience, we learn from reflection." It is those quiescent moments that open the way to lasting accomplishments in our life. A Year of Promise gives you the opportunity to connect the dots of your life, reviewing and capturing thoughts from the days before and carrying them forward to learn what your heart is telling you today. Your life is a living biography in which you animate to others the very essence of your being. If no one else ever writes a book about your life, you, through journaling in A Year of Promise, can give the world a snapshot of the life you lived while passing through this wonderful journey. Don't let another moment go by without capturing your thoughts and making a commitment to the most important person in your life-yourself.
