The Love of Books The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books. —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) Words from the Author Virginia Henderson I pray for you to find your quiet peaceful nook when you read the words written in this book, words of faith and inspiration, to touch and bless you in every way. Why is it at certain times in life we feel that we need to be guided? I feel that we don’t need to be guided as much as we need a guide. Psalm 32:8: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with my eye.” Now that is a great promise!
