About The Book

Here are Snacks For Your Soul- a collection of stories, one for each day of the year that offer you emotional, intellectual and spiritual nourishment. The snacks' come in a variety of flavours--the sweet, the bitter, the sad, the joyous, the spicy and the pungent! There are tasters to suit every palate—tastes that will linger long in your mind.

Dada J.P. Vaswami is not just a good story-teller; he is a great human being: his stories reach out to touch your life; they strike a chord that is rarely heard in your heart; they make you feel instinctively –"this might have happed to me!"

This collection is not to be read at one sitting; nor is it for idle page-turuing; read these stories for inspiration and guidance; read them to feel elevated; read them to have your mind and spirit uplifted. They are slices of life-and the people they speak to, are the likes of you and me!

Come and join the most inspiring story- telling session you could ever hear --and taste the difference in these Snacks For The Soul!
