     In the coming weeks, we will be publishing "Lists to Live by", the newest collection in the bestselling series that were specially chosen to refresh, challenge and encourage you. As you read through them, we hope the thoughts of so many varied authors will deepen your faith and nurture your soul.
     They have tried to catch the beauty of simplicity by taking powerful ideals and expressing them in only a few words. If it is true that the best gifts come in small packages, then reading these lists will be like unwrapping a small gift each week that is filled with extraordinary inspiration.
