Some discoveries come to us as gifts we are given such as food, clothes, shelter, or a few words of wisdom. And sometimes they are treasures we uncover by ourselves, an insight, awareness, or a new association.\u003cbr\u003e This story begins with a clueless pilgrim who has not learned to be thankful for either the people or events in his life. Then, slowly, as he travels, the people he meets and places he visits teach him how to recognize, collect and appreciate his discoveries.\u003cbr\u003e Each chapter in this story is like a little puzzle. They help us to develop the habit ferreting out a lesson from our experiences and talks with other people. We do this by asking ourselves, what gift or treasure might be discerned? If we are wise, we hold on to what is helpful and shake the dust of anger, envy, or pride off our feet.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, one unexpected day, the pilgrim comes upon The Discovery that puts the whole of life in order.\u003cbr\u003e The pilgrim's story illustrates our challenge. If we are to live life well, we must find, hidden among many gifts and treasures, The Discovery, which provides guidance, completeness, and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 07, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42097862475911,"sku":"9781664245297","price":18.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c0cddc7fce07afc96bfa88b1f2a03de0.webp?v=1732356847","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-discovery-a-pilgrimage-of-gifts-and-treasures-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
