Food for Thought: A Life-Changing Perspective

By Arletha Simpson

Food for Thought: A Life-changing Perspective gathers under a series of headingsarranged alphabetically for easy referencea collection of aphorisms that suggest ways to approach life from a fresh perspective. When one takes in, slowly and reflectively, the suggested guidance offered by author Arletha Simpson, one discovers the truth she shares in the chapter on wisdom: Possessing wisdom is the key to understanding.
The chapters of Food for Thought consist of lists of sayings that suggest life-changing ways to think about many of lifes most challenging and perplexing elements. The chapters address actions, beliefs, change, character, doubt, faith, fear, forgiveness, God, hope, life, love, mind-set, prayer, pride, purpose, responsibility, success, temptation, and wisdom.
Each person, in his or her own way, stands on the shoulders of those who have come before. In Food for Thought: A Life-changing Perspective, one gains the advantage of climbing onto the shoulders of those who themselves stand in the tradition of living according to Gods way. If the life-changing perspective you would gain from this new vantage point appeals to you, then Food for Thought will be worth your time to read, to reflect upon, and to incorporate into your daily life.
