Review
The Open Door is a reader's delight, a book to be savored, to browse through time and again. It has an endearingly personal tone, as if the reader had been invited to sit down for a short visit with each of the writers. --Heather Vogel Frederick, Christian Science Monitor
Recommended highly for life-long bookworms and readers. --ABA Booklist
Amusing, charming, powerful at times, the book is a small treasure. --The Cleveland Plain Dealer
