Need a Lifeline for the Game of Life?
When a Band-Aid isn't enough, try a first-aid kit for the troubled soul

LONGWOOD, FL-In a world of trials and tribulations, pain and sorrow, sometimes it's hard to focus on our blessings. And even worse are the days when God just seems impossibly far away. On those days, Patty Wachold's My Courage Book: Instant Inspiration Immediately! ($17.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-291-9) will give you a sense of serenity, calm, and peace.

Years ago, Wachold learned courage the hard way through bad choices and wrong paths. "I have met people from every walk of life imaginable," says the author. "In this I am very blessed. I am someone who has seen and experienced many facets of life both good and bad. It has helped me to see life differently, more thoughtfully, more appreciatively, and to enjoy the daily God moments."

How is such a positive outlook possible? Wachold found deliverance from all the crises in her life through God, and she credits Him with helping her author this book. Her ability to pick herself up when life knocked her down was facilitated by His divine intervention and a loving family. "Before he passed away, my father told me, ÔYouÕre a survivor, Pat. YouÕve always been a survivor, and you always will be.Õ But I could not have survived without GodÕs help.Ó

Patty Wachold has a B.A. in journalism and is a published freelance writer. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her parrot, Fred.
