I am reminded of a saying that there are two kinds of listeners. There may be readers who want the whole story or those who just want to cut the chase and get to the bottom line. Hence comes to the reason or purpose of writing this book in the manner I have chosen. Will the reader be intrigued by the personal story of Friends for Life, will it provide information for a reader who may be interested in the dynamics involved in forming a similar organization, or perhaps even inspire a reader to be motivated to identify their purpose for living?
