Living By Choice
ABOUT THIS BOOK:
This book focuses on eighty-two choices that are important to each of us—young or old—as we develop and manage our lives. However, given the challenge that parents have these days in developing their children due to the abundance of misinformation on the internet, I think this book will be especially helpful to parents and children as they study and discuss each of these choices and how they can impact their lives.

What Others Say about this Book
Reading Living by Choice has made me much better at focusing on goals and assessing the choices I should make. As a recent college graduate, much of my life was a bit of a mess before reading this book, which I read two times. Through a series of better choices and goals, I am bettering myself and my life. My friend was telling me just the other day how I’ve gotten so much nicer in the past couple of months. I think this book did it to me. Joe Humphries, Jackson, MS
