The truth is that most of us never get a chance to make our mark of greatness on the world—but this doesn’t negate our basic human desire to find meaning in our story.

We all want our lives to matter and for the world to be marked in some small way by our journey. And then there are the questions: how do we hold onto hope when all indicators point to floundering financial futures? How do we feel joy in a society of failing families and Facebook-limited friendships? How do we find purpose when just paying the bills has to be our priority? How do we believe when God is silent?

How do we know that our lives matter?

If you’ve ever asked any of these questions, The Twelve Gifts of Life will change your perspective. A collection of powerful, poignant narratives with a punch of humor, these true-life vignettes will help you discover meaning in the midst of the mundane. Buried within even the most challenging circumstances are the gifts of life for those discerning enough to discover and embrace them.

Life is not meant to be survival of the fittest. Life is not meant to defeat us. Life is not meant to beat us down.

The gifts of life restore us. They give us hope. They give our life meaning. They are meant to be savored. The gifts belong to all of us. Discover them through this inspiring and uplifting, soon-to-be bestseller.

Advance Praise for The Twelve Gifts of Life . . .

“For generations to come, readers will be quoting from The Twelve Gifts of Life, the inspirational and uplifting new book from favorite, Cindy Champnella.  This is a vital and unforgettable reading experience for everyone . . . Cindy has the gift of being able to see ordinary family events as extraordinary, events to be treasured and held close for the treasures they are. Cindy’s talent for giving these events a new life, enables us to change how we think and opens a whole new world of understanding and thanksgiving for being a part of the experience.

A superb and deeply emotional book, Champnella is at once compassionate and incisive. The Twelve Gifts of Life, through its honesty and conviction, is a rich reading experience.”

—Richard Fischer, Publisher of Adoption Today and Fostering Families Today magazines

“I loved this book. Reading it was like getting hit over the head with a tidal wave of thought, observation, wisdom and emotion. Cindy Champnella is just like me, only better! I easily relate to her story and the challenges she has faced (international adoption, parenting a child with trauma, divorce, working single parenthood), but her story flies on wings of faith and hope and her challenges work to strengthen her resolve. I am not left behind, however, because The Twelve Gifts of Life lets us all experience the insight, clarity and miracles that have shaped Cindy’s aptitude for appreciation, and helps us clearly understand that we all hold our own perceptive key to truly conscious living.

“The Twelve Gifts of Life is a great read and will leave a profound impact on the reader.”
