Book Review: Creating Optimism
Happiness seems in short supply today. There are many reasons for the surliness of the world including financial worries, health concerns, declining morality and troubled relationships on every hand.

Inspiration | 20 Reasons I Am A Christian
I asked some university students to define “inspiration.” While some gave the correct answers, others were just confused.
