Perspective: Lessons from the Journey, is a book of faith. It consists of affirmations and devotions that capture dialogue between God and the author as well as divine wisdom and insight. Perspective: Lessons from the Journey, was inspired in part, by Mark Twain's quote, "We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again and that is well but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore." Perspective: Lessons from the Journey contains only lessons and insight. Many of the writings are rhythmic expressions of various emotions but in the end proves that when we are honest with God and ourselves, God will give us wisdom, understanding and perspective to help us throughout our personal journeys.
