Life happens all around us all the time, and if we are not careful to look for the wonder in the little things, we'll miss it. Focusing on the gifts of life - including the gifts of caring, shared wisdom, self-discovery, faith, and more - this title shares true stories of everyday miracles that we often overlook.
I read this book when I was in high school and always tried to keep a copy handy over the years, but found I had given my last one away (again) when looking for it recently. I was very delighted to find a hard cover version, although as someone else mentioned, this book was previously called "A Touch of Wonder". The book can be read easily in one long afternoon or read randomly one chapter at a time if you so choose. I have had my own 'touch of wonder' moments since first having read this book, and I throughly believe to some degree I owe the recognition of most of them to Mr. Gordon. I would have liked to have met him at some point, but was quite disappointed to hear he had passed away. Don't miss this opportunity to read Mr. Gordon's recollective stories of defining or unforgettable moments in his life - they will help you stop and recognize them in your own life as well. Happy reading!
Absolutely one of my favorites

I read this book in 1974 when it was titled A Touch Of Wonder. I am, to this day, using the things I read in it. It was a life changing book in some ways. Not practicing "the deadly art of non-living" has produced some wonderful walking-in-the-rain type memories. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to see the wonder in life.

Once again Gordon has found an apt title for his inspirational book. It should be in everyone's library.
The same book as A Touch of Wonder

I love the book A Touch of Wonder, but after looking at the table of contents for this book, Wonder: Moments that Keep you Falling in Love with Life, I realized that this is the identical book as A Touch of Wonder. ....it just has a different date and a bit different title on it. I was hoping this would be a new book by Arthur Gordon. I'm very disappointed since he's passed away that there won't be anymore books by him.
