"Morning Sun On A White Piano" is the perfect tonic for the freneticism of contemporary life. In twelve lucid, straightforward essays, Dr. Robin Meyers offers a brilliant guide to achieving the simple and sacramental life by recognizing what is holy in the seemingly insignificant details of everyday life: Books. Music. Letters. Children. "Morning Sun On A White Piano" is a book about finding joy in the present, about reclaiming the lost art of living: hearing again, in a culture that has gone deaf; seeing again, in a culture that's blinded; and feeling again, in a culture that overstimulates and numbs itself. If simplifying our lives means singing the song, "Morning Sun On A White Piano" challenges us to learn the dance.

Compact, accessible, gorgeously written, and beautifully designed, here is a book that is a perfect gift for anyone -- especially ourselves.
