“Love, patience, and humility are essential but not always automatic ingredients in life. Heightened awareness of how we relate to others is always very valuable. This book reduces my anxieties and helps me polish my rough edges in personal interactions. I hope others get as much out of it as I do,” says Steven.
“I read constantly at work, belong to a Civil War Book Club that meets monthly, participate in Bible study, and relax with pulp fiction action novels while on vacation,” he continues. “Reading is the essential backbone of knowledge and communication. If you are able to learn and communicate, there is no limit to your accomplishments or the good you can do.”
