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.

An inspirational book based upon the author, Jonathan C. Hyatt's, spiritual journey as a Christian youth, throughout his adulthood. As a youth, Jonathan learns to unlock his heart by writing his thoughts and prayers in his letters to God; however, as a young man, life soon gets busy for Hyatt and he rarely finds the inspiration to write. His letters remain saved, tucked away, in a cedar chest, almost forgotten. Several years pass and his pen remains silent. At last, through the spontaneous kindness, of a young boy named Abel, Hyatt receives his inspiration to write once again. Suddenly, he begins to write his thoughts, reflections and prayers intertwined with Bible passages which speak to his heart. Inspiration later comes through his own personal struggles and his wife's battle with cancer. Encouraged by his family and friends, Hyatt's writing collection becomes a book, which he hopes will inspire many people, to a closer walk with God, in their spiritual journey.
