Book Details

"Initiated by grief and the loss of his father, this book details the author's search for his place in this world. What he discovered was that we should improve this world by our presence and leave it better than how we found it - just as the generations before us."

 

Book Excerpt

He was an old fashioned man, a child of the 20th century and a survivor of the Great Depression. He pondered the fact of suffering and fantastic achievements. It is not random and it is not simply an accident. It is in fact, unavoidable. Suffering gives us a point in time in which to go beyond ourselves. With suffering comes the opportunity for goodness in the one who suffers.
