I've loved This I Believe since I first heard it when the series ran on our local NPR station around 2005. I heard my favorite essay there , and it's helped me form my own beliefs on how to live my life. I was excited to run into a collection of essays from the series completely by accident at my library, and the book has come at a good time for me. We've had some heartache lately, and to read the stories of people who believe in the real power of love to heal has been needed and appreciated.
The stories come from a variety of sources, about many different kinds of love, but they all resonate with the idea that the real purpose of life is to love others and that real love is more than a feeling, but an action.

The book has 60 essays; the audiobook is considerably abridged and this is not noted on the container. The essays are all read by the authors.

I love this story of stories. They were all diffrent some made me sad and appreciate my life. Others made me feel empathy and sympathetic to these people stories. As I read this although they are all different. It shows us that we are human and we struggle and make mistakes and doing these things makes us human. It is the bittersweet joy of being human. These story's were relatable and most of all they were real. I read alot of fiction and I relate to characters in that world. It was refreshing to find that in a book like this, that tells the story's of real people and their personal account which made the story's all the more rich.
