It took the folks at Amazon.com 22 months to locate and send me a 'used' copy of Wilferd A. Peterson's, "The Art of Living Treasure Chest." -- and I'm amazed that they were able to find a copy! I had not read the book previously, just heard "rave" comments about it -- and that was enough to make me want the book. Once I received the book, I couldn't put it down, it was that good. I immediately made plans to obtain additional copies to give as gifts, but I didn't have a clue as to where I could obtain those additional copies...(gee, I already had experienced a difficult time obtaining just one copy). A very good clue appeared in a recent "Dear Abby" column: A letter written by Wilferd A. Peterson's daughter, Lilian Peterson Thorpe regarding his essay, "The Art of Parenthood" which had been published in "The Art of Living Treasure Chest." I contacted Mrs. Thorpe and she told me that all of the essays in "The Art of Living Treasure Chest" -- as well as several additional essays written by her father, were compiled in another book by him: "The Art of Living: Thoughts on Meeting the Challenge of Life."

Years ago a friend gave me this book as a gift. It is one of the best gifts I have ever received.

I have been looking for this book to give as gifts to others and spread the wisdom/thoughts of Wilferd Peterson. I am so sorry to learn it is out of print.

I have been trying to locate this book for years. It is said to be warm and touching, unfortunately it is unavailable.
