What's The Sampler all about?

The Sampler By Shelley Maurice-Maier
Ten Life-Enhancing Concepts Right at Your Fingertips

The arresting front cover of The Sampler depicts the embroidered message that has inspired Shelley Maurice-Maier's remarkable life journey:

"What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God."

Transforming our lives into a gift worthy of giving back to God, the author says, comes from putting into practice the principles that get us over the hurdles and keep us on track in life. Shelley shares the two acronyms-HIRTL and TRACK-she developed to help her clients remember the life-enhancing concepts of honesty, integrity, respect, trust, love, truth, responsibility, attitude, character, and knowledge.

Shelley illustrates each concept-one for each finger of both hands-with stories from the lives of her clients and from her own experiences, which included childhood sexual abuse, divorce, multiple surgeries, childlessness, cancer, and near-fatal illnesses. Her riveting description of her miraculous healing alone is worth the price of the book.

"Shelley's account will aid anyone seeking personal growth, more fulfilling relationships, and transformation," says Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine.
