"Just Peace: A Message of Hope" by Mattie J.T. Stepanek

Mattie J.T. Stepanek was a child with a rare kind of muscular dystrophy, tt left him physicali n emotionali tormented. Despite his ailments, he was a great soul who started a noble goal as young as 3yrs old. He wanted to b a proprietor n activist for peace. His works of poetry, art n essays show maturity beyond his age.His words preach simple truths of human nature n the compelling need for peace. A very humbling n enlightening read.

Chanced upon tis book at Borders on a rainy sunday afternoon. Was in a gloomy mood tt day due to stress from a new appointment in a new NS unit i was posted to at tt time. Was aggravated by my annoyance wif my mom for her incessant calls to check on my whereabouts n to rush me to return home. Was further troubled by miscommunication issues wif my gf. Was gettin frustrated at not being able to spend more time wif my gf too. It muz b some luck for me to see tis book at tt timely period. Readin the book changed my mood v much. Initiali i was touched. Den i got consoled. Den i turned encouraged. Den i was humbled. Den i became inspired. U can call me a philanthropist at heart. It juz rejoices me to read abt such inspirational literature. It sort of started the barrel of positive hope rolling down my mind n everytin turned out better after tt.
