This I Believe

>

Have you ever heard of “driveway moments” on NPR? These are the moments when you get home but you can’t get out of your car because you have to hear the end of the story on the radio. This always happens for me when they have a “This I Believe” segment. This was started in the 1950′s by Edward R. Murrow with famous people summing up their beliefs. It was revived in 2005 with the difference that ordinary people also participated. This book is a collection of the best of both series in written form. There is just something so powerful about a person stating their beliefs, how they were formed, and how they affect their lives. Whether I was offended or inspired by the words of each person, I was moved by their trust in allowing me to read something they hold so dear. It also forced me to look more closely at what I believe and to ask myself if my life reflects those beliefs clearly. This is a delightful read that may change the way you look at everything.
