Building a fulfilling and productive life-much like building a solid, durable house-requires the right materials on a solid foundation. "Building Materials for Life," a collection of 40 inspiring essays, will motivate you to gather the resources you need to succeed in life. "Learning from Failure," "Overcoming Doubt," "Forgiveness," and "Peace Within" are just a few of the raw materials that will ensure the success of your life's building project.

This collection of forty essays is a continuation of those in Volume 1. Volume 2 continues the series with essays on topics like direction in life, hope, urgency, sorrow, true worth, and simple pleasures. As in the first volume, the topics deal with matters, both religious and secular, that arise in the lives of people everywhere. This second volume provides new building materials that are relevant to issues people face, regardless of station in life, on a regular basis.
