Every day, we awaken to the wonderful, rich aroma of coffee, providing a gentle push to make it through the morning rush. In the afternoon, as our bodies begin to tire, we look to tea to calm our nerves and help us finish our daily tasks. Those much-needed infusions of energy help keep our bodies going. But what about our minds? Our spirits? How do we give them the encouragement they need to stay inspired, focused, and joyful? In Inspiration Coffee & Wisdom Tea: Daily Delight at the Divine Coffeehouse, Reverend Peter Vu offers his answer in a collection of inclusive, uplifting, and wisdom-filled messages. For each day of the year, there are two thought-provoking quotes, along with a short and encouraging interpretation of each, to boost our mood, mirth, and sense of purpose. Regardless of who we are and where we come from, we are all a part of one human family, and if we can learn to help out each other, not only will our world become a kinder place, but we will also feel much better about ourselves. Inspiration Coffee & Wisdom Tea provides the blueprint for that reconnection, teaching us to fine-tune our characters and become better people-no matter where the day takes us.

The book Inspiration Coffee & Wisdom Tea: Daily Delight at the Divine Coffeehouse was written to inspire and encourage you with uplifting and wise messages of worldwide well-known people. Every morning, we wake ourselves up with a cup of coffee or a latte, with their intoxicating aroma, to help push us along with our daily tasks. In the middle of the day, we might pick up a cup of tea to calm our nerves down and help us finish up our day. As we go through this daily routine and rely on those external stimulants to get us through our day, I imagine how much more our spirit might need encouragement to stay focused and get inspired each day. That is how I have come up with the concept of having two sayings each day for this book. One is to inspire us, like coffee or latte, in the morning, while another, like tea, is to give us some wisdom to help us face our daily decisions with confidence. I give context and a short interpretation of each saying before wrapping it into a small package with a bow either called In-Flavor (Inspiration Flavor) or Wi-Flavor (Wisdom Flavor). Then I help mix that flavor and turn it into Inspiration Coffee or Wisdom Tea for you to enjoy each day. Like our daily coffee and tea, I try to keep the two daily sayings and their reflections short and sweet. This book is designed to give us a quick spiritual boost as we try to run from one task to another in our busy schedule. Although the short-term goal of this book is to help us get through each day with joy and purpose, its long-term focus is to fine-tune our characters and make us better people at home, at work, at our worshipping place, in the neighborhood, and in other places. About the Author My name is Rev. Peter G. Vu, and I have served as a Catholic priest of the Diocese of Grand Rapids, Michigan for 20 years. I was born in Saigon City (currently Ho Chi Minh City), Viet Nam. I was a young boy when the Viet Nam War ended. I witnessed the war and the end of it with great horror and deep appreciation for peace. I grew up with the Communist government system and endured significant hardships for more than a decade. What helped me and many of my countrymen tremendously during those dark days was our faith and prayers. Hence, my love for Prayers and Meditations blossomed. Also, I was able to learn and exchange new ideas for Prayers and Meditations with many of my Buddhist friends. We got along quite well despite our different faith traditions. After high school, I escaped by boat and came to the United States of America to begin my seminary training. I attended one year of high school here in the USA (Union High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan) to learn the language and new culture. I attended Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan for two years while staying at Christopher House Seminary. Then, the Seminary sent me to attend my last two years of college at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. I graduated with a double major: Mathematics and Philosophy. I then attended graduate school at the University of St. Mary of the Lake and Mundelein Seminary in Chicago, Illinois for five years. I graduated and was ordained with the Master's Degree of Divinity (MDiv) and the Sacred Theology Baccalaureate (STB).
