What a Wonderful Life

What makes for a wonderful life?

Someone has said that life is a story you write as you go. This inspirational narrative deals with a year or so of Christian writer Terry Dodd's four score years' first tenure on earth. The concept of keeping a short-period journal of a person's life speaks to anyone interested in sharing some of his or her life, values, and wonders, not to mention the growth God works in an individual through pruning.

What is the measurement of a person's legacy?

Historians and writers commonly use a person's achievements in life to illustrate one's legacy, i.e., "something that is being handed down." Others use different values, such as relationships or even wealth, to communicate the essence of a legacy. Consider, however, yet another approach; that is, one which focuses on a much shorter fixed period of time in a person's life. In this book's six-part journal format--Spring Sowing, Summer Growth, Fall Harvest, Winter Planning, Challenge, and Hope--the writer makes both the mundane and the serious interesting and relevant.
