Very nice broad introduction to Gandhi's vision and wisdom
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I found this book to be very well done, simple. Selections of quotations from Gandhi-ji on a wide variety of topics, well chosen, easy to read, inspirational, very useful. A short read, but a powerful one. Gandhi-ji was a rich source of wisdom, a true light among humankind. This book takes his pure word, outside of historical context, and let's the reader feel the depth of humanity (and spirituality) that was and is Gandhi-ji. And wisdom and wit, yes indeed, Gandhi-ji had a way with words. Greatly enjoyed. Greatly inspired by. Well done to the publisher and editor.
Helped with my oral presentation

I had to do a college oral presentation on Gandhi, so the book really helped me out a lot.
