Perfect gift for your Christmas list. October 29, 2008

Knowing Justine Toms for over 20 years I've always been struck by her ability to create snapshots from my own memories as she relates a new learning she has experienced. To have her now doing the same "in print" is a blessing I am now able to easily share with others; I have at least a dozen friends who will love Small Pleasures as much as I do. I'm getting out my Christmas gift list right away and will let Amazon.com handle the shipping.
An inspirational life... October 17, 2008
Justine has a wonderful ability to share her insights of whatever moment she's experiencing with the full expression of a true storyteller. So heartfelt and genuine.
In Small Pleasures, because of Justine's wide ranging experiences on the spiritual quest, we are treated to a satisfying assortment of thoughts on life that has something for everyone. Did I mention that she's an optimist?
A Huge Pleasure October 9, 2008

I am familiar with the voice of Justine Toms as the sensitive, insightful, intelligent interviewer on New Dimensions Radio. Getting to read her words at a very sweet slow pace, just as I need to hear them or before I go to sleep at night, is such a treat. It is a HUGE pleasure to read Justine's varied reflections of a life well lived on a spiritual path.
