Letters To The Lord

About the Book

“War would be wonderful if… for the sake of Global Safety and Security in the 21st Century… we could, collectively, learn to fight with timely tactics of Constructive Self- Criticism and Creative Caring. But current strategies Miss the Mark! We must develop the New Heart-Ware and train to explode Missiles of Meaning filled with Soul-Searching Shrapnel that effectively counters: Ego-Centered Thinking, Self-Destructive Fears, and Lack of Combat with Corporate Myths, Earth-Shaking Political Pot-Holes, Raging Religious Ruminations, and Mangled/Simplistic Presumptions that money-making-greed is the Way-to-Wonder in a Word of Wars!” Chaplain/Colonel Don Reeves, USAFR (Ret.)
