<span style="color: #292929; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Messages of Hope: Inspirational Writings from the Heart is a collection
of nonfiction stories and articles written by Christopher M. Meuse. Meuse is an
author, certified hockey coach and retired public school teacher. His opening
story: “We Know There Is Hope: A True Story” recounts the author’s brain surgery. In “You Are Perfect”, he discusses the pain that seems to be
a universal human condition, feelings like “unworthiness, guilt, anger, shame
and fear” that must be dealt with in a positive way rather than being
suppressed. He discusses ways for people to “form positive rapport” as they
learn to acknowledge those feelings and find their way to feeling safe,
complete and perfect, including meditation. His article, “Toughness vs. Love”,
discounts the value of the old tough-love approach to child-rearing in favor of
a more supportive and loving parenting and teaching style. He shows how the old
paradigm of preparing a child for the harsh realities of life can actually
cause more dysfunction in that child’s development than good. Each of his
writings is accompanied by illustrations and inspirational photographs.</span></div>
