Features: Over ten years ago, a friend of mine was going through a difficult period. He was isolated from everyone, including friends and family, and had no willingness to discuss solutions with anyone. I knew he loved reading self-help books, and perhaps this story could help him, so I completed it in the form of a letter. When I sat down to write, Kevin's story immediately came to mind. To my surprise and delight, my friend's reaction to the story—he quickly climbed out of his lowest point and began a new life. He also asked me to agree to send copies of The Wisdom of the Soul to the friends he knew who were going through rough patches in their lives. Over the years, I have constantly heard about how this story has brought renewal to others. When people ask me why I didn’t publish this story as a book, I always say it was just a letter to a friend, not a book. Until recently, another friend needed help, so I dug out the dusty original manuscript, removed some personal details about the earlier friend, rewrote it, and gave it to this friend. To my joy, she accepted the story and suggested I publish it to help more people. So, this book was published! I hope the reader who is now flipping through this book will find that it is just as helpful to your life.
