The spirit at your back

The spirit at your back is a collection of columns published originally in the "Observer" in Dunkirk, New York. It covers topics as varied as paying taxes and grandchildren. The book deals with war and peace, with gratitude and grief, with prejudice and politics. Spirit at your back is a "reader." It's not the sort of book you'll read through like a novel. The seventy short chapters are reflective reading. They are meant to make you stop and ponder. You should not just pick this book up; you should also put it down and reflect. Then, pick it up again as the Spirit moves you. -- taken from cover.
