Synopsis

In the essence of Buscaglia, Lessons from an Imperfect World serves to remind us that all too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a Life around. Harry Grether's Lessons from an Imperfect World guides and engages our healing and comforting imagination while reassuring our wishful Heart in ways that are both magical and transformative. In this modern age where we will find ourselves in the role of patient, caretaker, guardian or grieving parent, this book will help provide the wisdom we all seek when Life's duties call or the normal rhythms of our daily Life sound a dissonant chord.
- Thomas Pepe, loving father of Travis Adam, whose beautiful Life was shortened by suicide

Harry's book will always hold a special place in my heart. I felt led to read to my mother during her final day with us after a five year cancer battle. I am convinced that reading aloud from Lessons from an Imperfect World contributed to a sense of calm and serenity for all of our family members as people came and went.....and as mom peacefully went to the hereafter.
- Susan B. Dusseau, Executive Director Cancer Services, A United Way Agency

Harry Grether offers us the vision of a world where people care and act upon their caring. He inspires confidence in our abilities to create positive change. Lessons from an Imperfect World is both devotional and motivational. Its stories provide comfort and hope to broken hearts and troubled minds. As a pastor, I affirm this literary gift in the practice of ministries. It proclaims love. It restores spirit. It is life.
- Rev. Dr. Wallace H. Mayton, III, Associate Pastor Memorial Presbyterian Church
