The world seems bent on destroying itself; it is tearing apart and on flame. Why? We are in an Age of Frustration, where problems seem insurmountable and grow worse every hour. What hope do we have for solving them? What can we do about it? These 100 short essays by Rodney Richards provide realistic solutions based on a core belief in the inherent nobility of the souls and spirits of good people everywhere to change satanic strength into heavenly virtues. From Thoreau's independence, to the raising of the first Peace flag; from Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics to Einstein's reliance on intuition; and from Gandhi's divine mystery to JFK's "Ask not...," humanity has received inspiration. The source is nothing less than God's will and plan that his creation and creatures thrive. Rodney writes from his own troubled experiences as a bipolar disease sufferer, but one who has succeeded in all walks of life, work, family, and community. He has overcome mental illness and shows how belief in the universality of God and religion can unify humanity and reach long hoped for heights of well-being. You will be inspired, motivated, informed, and challenged in each essay to find the best of yourself and humankind. We do not have to stand powerless in the face of adversity, we can overcome anything.
