This book was inspired by my nephew Gurvinder Singh. After his uncle passed, he knew that I was going through some difficult times in my life, so just about every day he would send me a pray. The prays always had meanings and at times were uplifting. I decided to put these kind words into a book to maybe help someone else. I hope you can appreciate this as I have. God Bless you.
