+++ Used by more than 10,000 families +++
“A bird in the hand…” — you finished that sentence without thinking. That is exactly what this book is for.
Sayings are among the last things to fade. Nobody studied them: they were heard in the kitchen, at work, around the family table. And they can remain firmly in place even when names and dates begin to wander. That is why they can open a conversation like almost nothing else.
Sayings of a Lifetime brings together 176 time-honored sayings and proverbs, one per page and in large print, designed for slow reading, remembering, and conversation.
What you will find inside:
The 176 sayings are arranged in eight themes:
The questions are not a quiz and have no right answers. Nobody is corrected here. If your family said a proverb differently, then that version belongs to your family’s story.
Perfect for:
Sometimes the beginning of a sentence is enough to bring back an entire story.
Important notice: talking and remembering can offer companionship and brighten the day, but this book is not a treatment or therapy and does not replace professional care.
