EVIDENCE OF INSPIRATION
This book is a jewel, a very fresh look at some very timeless ideas and ideals. This author skillfully and with humor allows us to remind ourselves why certain ideas and ideals are timeless: for very good reason. Invest the time to read it and think. Five stars."
American Sunshine is a positive, uplifting and refreshing book. In contrast to so many contemporary voices that shout that America is ton the brink of disaster, this book looks at historic American reality; a reality built upon timeless core principles and based in the time-proven results found in positive belief. This truly is an important and thoughtful book.”
A concise and upbeat book written to inspire positive change in many areas of our national life. Written from an optimistic point of view, this book makes our nation’s challenges seem easy to overcome with the right attitude and common sense measures."
