I came across this book in my local library doing some research. During an especially trying time in my life, Dr. Alter's kind words and writing style saved me.

Secondly,its power lies in the fact that one needs not believe in religious dogma or new age ideas to see the wisdom and truth of the simple words spoke here, that come as fresh water... more info
