"Pleasant words promote instruction" wrote Solomon 3000 years ago. Encouraging words are still what most people want to hear. If you are one of them, this book is for you! We hear enough words and stories of gloom in the news. What if you could read uplifting true stories that promote and illustrate healthy living? Then read this book! Each chapter begins with challenges we face to wellness. Then success stories with informative, uplifting and motivational wise health prescriptions are given.

Is it better to just sit passively and accept whatever illness or disease is diagnosed? Or is it better to do all we can to outsmart the disease? In other words, are we going to just sit down and give up or stand up and fight? In this book, you will get a shot in the arm of encouragement to stand up and fight for health and wellness.
