Real Talk on a Blessed Day: Just Keeping It Real When So Many Others Are Afraid To

Real Talk on a Blessed Day is a written pep talk. The daily act of self-motivation is what separates those who achieve their goals from those who are content to just talk. An honest assessment of what it takes to succeed, Patterson's book will inspire others who want to reach a point where they will no longer accept personal failure in their lives.

The book is organized as a series of daily journal entries for an entire year. Each message is a clarion call to be encouraged and energized for the work that lies ahead. The messages reflect the faith that Patterson developed as a born-again Christian. For instance, this example from Day 138 read, "God is Love, and God loves us even when we do not love ourselves at times. He never leaves us or forsakes us. When we are weary and tired from the complexities of this thing we call life, he often carries us when we don't have the strength to carry ourselves."

Resolute and forthright, Real Talk on a Blessed Day is not for every reader. But those looking for shouts of confidence and Christian counseling from someone who understands what it means to have survived a rough life will find this book a gold mine of relevant wisdom.
