If you liked Dare To Dream, I have included various styles here for you. This work, however, did not evolve over several years. It was written in a matter of months as an intended sequel to Dare To Dream. The stories are here. The philosophy is here. Of course the Christian backbone is here.
Have you ever felt like giving up? Heaven knows I have. I will let you in on a few secrets which have kept me going, beyond faith in God and scripture; I have always admired the greats. I am referring to the masters of literature. They have had words which humbled me and made me want to keep trying. The list of works I love and have depended on during those dark, lonely nights is too great to even be considered here. I have chosen two which are outstanding and have filled me with hope for different reasons.
The first by Edmund Vance Cooke explains itself and I will not try to add or detract from it by any comment of mine now. Enjoy it as I have for years.
How Did You Die?
