My Favorite Inspirational Poems,Stories,Songs and Prayers: Ways to Live Happier and More Fulfilling Life

By Ted Baxter

This book stresses the importance of living an inspirational life. The book discusses 36 of the best places to find inspirational material, and it shows 155 of my favorite inspirational poems, stories, songs and prayers. I grew up under humble conditions. Since childhood I have used inspirations to live a happy and fulfilling life. It has permitted me to work and to obtain three university degrees without any external financial support, have a very successful 37 year professional career, and a very happy and fulfilling retirement. It permitted me to retire at 60 years old. At the age of 78 years old, I am now looking forward to a new career in book writing with Gods will and inspiration. Everyone needs inspiration to live a happier and more fulfilling life. Inspiration has permitted me to do things that I could not have done otherwise. I can not imagine living a life without inspiration in it. Its a kind of life that I would not want to live. I benefited a lot from writing this book, and I can not wait to have other people read and benefit from the book. In this book I encourage my readers to write their own inspirational books.

Ted Baxter

This is a rag-to-riches story with my ability to communicate with the dead. I had worked every day for years from the ages of seven until eighteen. I then had worked my way through three universities, getting three advanced university degrees. After having graduated from the first two universities, I no longer had any financial problems, and I’ve lived a very good life ever since then, which continues to get better and better. I’ve done it all on my own. I have been writing books all my life. During my thirty-six-year professional career, I had written thousands of classified books, with one of the books having brought in a $691-million-dollar contract for my company. After retiring in 1995, I have written over two thousand books. I have just started to self-publish my books. I have been able to change my life at various stages in my life, and I’m still doing it at the age of eighty-one. This is the third lifetime that I am aware of. In 400 BC, I was a very religious person who walked with God. I lived in the Middle East. My name was Enoch. In 1620 AD, I lived in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in what is now the USA. I am now an eighty-one-year-old man who has written seventy books honoring the dead that I was directed to write by the dead.

Foreword

This book discusses 36 places where you can best find inspirational material, and it shows 189 of my favorite inspirational poems, stories, songs and prayers. The appendix of the book shows how easy it is to write your own inspirational stories.

I wrote this book to inspire my readers to live a more inspirational life and to reap the benefits of living a happier and a more fulfilling life.

I have always enjoyed writing books. I wrote technical books in high school and in the three universities where I had graduated from with technical and management degrees. My technical book writing reached its peak during my 37 year professional career dealing with technical issues, program management, marketing management, venture capital and new business proposal books. I’ve written over 2,000 books since I retired in 1995. During my professional career, all of my books were classified, and they were not available to the general public. Since I retired, I have not published any of my books.

This is the first book that I have decided to publish, and it’s about a subject that is extremely important to me and that is about living an inspired life, which is so important to all of us in living a happier and more fulfilling life.

Everyone says that it is very important to live an inspired life. Even Michelle Obama, The First Lady of the United States of America, in June 2012 reminded the graduating students from our local university, Oregon State University, to live an inspired life.

Behind every great and happy person there are those people who have inspired them. It can be your spouse, parent, friend, teacher, sibling, religious figure, etc.
