    About this ebook

    These three essays come from the diverse writing collection in Essays & More Straight from the Pen. Each essay gives the reader valuable insight into life from a different perspective, intended to inspire and encourage a deeper understanding of the things humans experience. Experience a sense of gratitude by reading "Eyes." See the power of prayer in "Afraid of Hell." "Life is an Anvil" springs from an experience written about the loss of a loved one in another essay ("A Prisoner & a Poem for a Princess") and shows the struggle between Ego and humility, how little we control, and how God uses painful events to teach spiritual lessons.
