In this wacky book, Patch Adams joins forces with Jerry Van Amerongen to give the reader a practical guide in introducing laughter into the healing process. The book is divided into three sections. The first section is filled with thoughts on being well. Dr. Adams provides instruction on being healthy and then provides some action steps to assimilate faith, humor, curiosity, relaxation, passion, exercise, nutrition, friendship, service, and other positive values into your daily life. These guidelines are cleverly illustrated by Jerry Van Amerongen with one panel cartoons that bring home the message of the suggestion and motivate the reader to take action. Amerongen is the creator of the Ballard Street syndicated cartoon strip.

Everyone needs to be inspired to continue to do their best in life. A touch of inspiration is simply receiving a little revelation from a person or thing that inspires. You can be inspired by a song, idea or anything that uplift your spirit. Inspiration could come from praying and meditating or from a letter or poem.

Are you currently on someone’s email list to receive your daily devotion to start your day? What happens if you miss a day of receiving your inspirational email? Do you consider it a good or bad thing? Others need to be inspired just like you do. You may continue to inspire others by writing poems similar to “A Touch of Inspiration.”

If you believe you can, you probably can.
If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly won’t.
Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.

Part of the problem with resolutions is we are not really serious about them when we make them. We think we want to succeed but what stops us and prevents us from making new resolutions every day of the year. Time stops for no one is a cliche used to remind us to seize the day and stop procrastinating.
Right now I am placing a challenge with you to ask yourself: ‘what is my true purpose?’
Take a pen and paper and write it down and then ask yourself are you living that purpose to its full extent?

We do not like hard difficult challenging lessons, but real life seldom give us any choice on this matter. That is why it is good to know how to handle the situation before it confronts us. We train in times of peace so that we can survive and triumph in times of war. There is no point in training once the warfare has actually started.

Come with me to Caesarea on the Mediterranean coast, and read of a man who is facing two years in a hot humid prison cell. I have been there leading tours and pilgrimages and know how uncomfortable it can be! The detail can be found in the New Testament in Acts Chapter 25.

Why is it that time passes by so fast when we’re reading a great book? There’s something about it that just enthralls you into a hypnotic state of mind and sort of fall into a deep trance. When you wake up, you’re done with the book. Time was accelerated. You rode a spaceship through a black hole and ended up somewhere else, and someTIME else.

The same thing can be said about exceptional leaders. You are embedded within their ideas. You are invited to capture those ideas. A short time later you find yourself totally entranced by the shadow that they cast.
