"May all your birthday wishes come true!"--Page [4] of cover.

Here's a book that quickly solves that thorny problem common to so many of us: What birthday gift would be perfect for that friend or loved one who has everything? The editor of The Book of Birthday Wishes has searched international sources and found the perfect present: a treasury of heartfelt wishes for a happy birthday and good cheer throughout the rest of the year. In this volume Dr. Edward Hoffman, editor of the popular Book of Fathers' Wisdom, presents a wise and witty collection of pithy statements, advice, encouragement, loving thoughts, memories, and warm wishes from family, friends, and even foes -- all acknowledging a birthday. The selections are drawn from the letters, memoirs, inscriptions, and cards sent by a variety of historically famous men and women, including Elizabeth Barrett Browning, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry Miller, Sigmund Freud, Harry Truman, George Burns, Isaac Asimov, D. H. Lawrence, Theodore Roosevelt, Virginia Woolf, and John F. Kennedy. In their wide-ranging and often inspirational ways, all of the wishes repeated here will help to celebrate birthdays everywhere.

This book is about proclaiming the Word of God everywhere in the world while celebrating life; it is also about emphasizing the importance of praising God for His greatness, His works, His goodness, His love, and most of all, for His precious gift of life. The Bible says in Psalms 139 verse 14: "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works, and my soul knows it very well." As you celebrate life, in other words, as you celebrate birthdays, rejoice in the Lord. Seek God, count His blessings, live life to the fullest while serving Him: Through God's word, you will find comfort, peace, hope, consolation, joy, happiness, and the fulfillment of your dreams. Life is precious and so you are. Know that you are very special in God's eyes. You have been created in the image of the Lord God. God said, "Let Us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, He then breathed the breath of life into his nostrils and the man became a living being." How wonderful God is, the things that He has done are beyond expression. None can compare with God. On birthday and always, may all the desires of your heart become reality!
