Poems and Quotes from the Heart is about love, happiness, sadness, friendship, and inspiration. With love, everything we go through in life becomes easier. Posting my poems and quotes on Google+ and getting great responses and comments from my followers made me decide to write this book.
A book full of fuel to heal your soul. Regardless of what has dampened your spirit, the words within this book will help guide you to a brighter, lighter and happier place. We have gathered wisdom from all over to ensure everyone is inspired. Read the book front to back, back to front, or meander to and fro. Throw the book, hug the book, or let it collect your tears. Use it as you will, but once inspired, be sure to share your joy and pass it along.
This collection of non-fiction short stories is about my unique life experiences, challenges and praises. Inspiration for the Heart is written to inspire, encourage, give hope…and you will see God’s hand woven into each story. At the end of each one, I’ve provided a brief summary of the lesson I learned from that life event, along with the address of a correlating Bible verse. I like relating to people by verbally espousing stories. The purpose may be to parallel a point, give an idea to ponder or simply bring a smile and laugh to them. Hopefully, my communication is a breath of fresh air, and not a pounding drum of baloney. I thank my mother for encouraging me to write down these true narratives. My hope is that you will enjoy the time spent in reading them. Charles Castle
The moral failures that made the headlines over the past decade did not take place because the guilty parties did not know the right thing to do, or because they did not know how to do the right thing. Too many ethical lapses took place, and take place, because someone just did not feel like acting for the common good. What helps kids feel like doing the right thing? Breaking into the Heart of Character outlines a compelling case with documented strategies that get past character talk and improve character action. Compiling evidence-based practices, this book focuses on educators’ ability to catalyze internal motivation, and promote social growth and moral climates. The practices outlined in this book can be implemented by every teacher, in every class, every day.

Daniel Horan, O.F.M., popular author of Dating God and other books on Franciscan themes–and expert on the spirituality of Thomas Merton–masterfully presents the untold story of how the most popular saint in Christian history inspired the most popular spiritual writer of the twentieth century, and how together they can inspire a new generation of Christians.
Millions of Christians and non-Christians look to Thomas Merton for spiritual wisdom and guidance, but to whom did Merton look?

Given recent renewed interest in St. Francis, this timely resource is both informative and practical, revealing a previously hidden side of Merton that will inspire a new generation of Christians to live richer, deeper, and more justice-minded lives of faith.
