Messages of Hope
BOOK REVIEW
Reviewed by Jack Magnus for
Messages of Hope: Inspirational Writings from the Heart is a collection of nonfiction stories and articles written by Christopher M. Meuse. Meuse is an author, certified hockey coach and retired public school teacher. His opening story: “We Know There Is Hope: A True Story” recounts the author’s brain surgery. In “You Are Perfect”, he discusses the pain that seems to be a universal human condition, feelings like “unworthiness, guilt, anger, shame and fear” that must be dealt with in a positive way rather than being suppressed. He discusses ways for people to “form positive rapport” as they learn to acknowledge those feelings and find their way to feeling safe, complete and perfect, including meditation. His article, “Toughness vs. Love”, discounts the value of the old tough-love approach to child-rearing in favor of a more supportive and loving parenting and teaching style. He shows how the old paradigm of preparing a child for the harsh realities of life can actually cause more dysfunction in that child’s development than good. Each of his writings is accompanied by illustrations and inspirational photographs.

          About the Author






                                                     Introduction

The book is a collection of short articles and true stories written with the hope of inspiring a positive approach to one’s journey through life.

I shall share stories and articles that present Messages of Hope for individuals and families who are suffering.  Some of the Messages are intended to be powerful positive guidance for politicians who are involved in drafting policies that affect all life on this planet.

My hope is that these Messages will offer insight that will result in increased cooperation between all members of society and, in doing so, lead to a greater positive co-operation between individuals and country … for the "common good" of humanity and our planet.

Over the years, I have sent several of these messages to hundreds of individuals, politicians and media reporters throughout North America.
The Messages/Chapters are not placed in any particular arrangement, therefore they can be read in the order of your choice, depending on which title connects with you at any moment.

You might be drawn to the Message: “The Spirit of Cooperation for the Common Good”…a message which can assist politicians who are involved in the process of making important decisions for the citizens of their country.  Or perhaps you will be drawn to the Message: “You Are Perfect” which will assist individuals and families who are dealing with emotional issues.


We can learn how to suffer less by turning our experiences of pain and suffering into the creation of a human being with greater understanding, compassion and loving-kindness towards self and others. We can learn to know and experience a life of joy and happiness. This is not an illusion…this is a noble truth.
