Encouragement for Living : 9780595747672 : 28 Jun 2003 : "Mark Beaird gives sound, moral advice in a time of great ethical challenge. His words fit perfectly in the small Louisiana community that I serve--one that is still deeply religious and based upon strong religious and moral values. His columns prove that there are still good, smart and ethical people around." --"Chris Chatelain, Editor, West Side Journal"Mark Beaird's writing frequently moves to address current issues from a spiritual angle necessary, perhaps, in light of recent world events. His column are concise, meaningful, and filled with many nourishing gems from which my readers may draw. --"Joy E.
