Book Cover & Preview Text
QUOTATIONS FROM IMAGINE On Love: "Love may be evidence of God's spiritual energy within us." On the Death Penalty: "The death penalty is state-sanctioned murder." On Depression: "If you are feeling down and depressed, just remember what you are grateful for. Give yourself reasons to live and be happy and enjoy the world. Remember that you can have an impact on society and someone. We are all unique. We all have strengths." On Taxation: "Income tax is a form of slavery because people work for part of the year for nothing in the sense that people have no direct control over where their taxes are spent." On Work and Leisure: "People need to work less and get more sleep. Sleep enhances dreaming, imagination, and creativity which are all necessary to come up with new ideas and innovation. We must "think it" before we "create it." The future advancement and progress of our civilization depends on sufficient rest, relaxation, and leisure." Features of Imagine: Twenty four thought-provoking topics. Each topic is introduced with a quote. Easy reading. Everything in point form. Pictures help inspire new ideas.

Imagine is written from the perspective of protecting the people and the planet for current and future generations. You will learn of thought-provoking issues.
