Angela M. Brown, Metropolitan Opera Star, praises: "The seasoned words took me back to times in the kitchen when my mother was pressing my hair and imparting wisdom that would prove to keep me through the years.  Thank you, Patricia, for bringing messages that  so many need in this world today."

In her weekly messages, Patricia Hinds offers timeless truths to encourage us to never overlook the impact of hope, faith, integrity, gratitude, forgiveness, and the beauty of discovery. Beautifully illustrated with artwork of world-renowned painters, Hinds's practical, faith-based wisdom relates to our common circumstances and realities-and will steer readers to turn challenges into opportunities, fear into faith, resentment and bitterness to love.

There are many concepts about leading a fulfilling life that we may know in theory but do not necessarily apply in our daily lives. The Good Sense Handbook delivers touching, engaging messages to accompany those who are on a path to joyful living-and to guide those who have lost their way.  The beautiful hardcover book is in full color with 140 pages and is available in bookstores and, online, and at www.thegoodsensehandbook.com .
