It is a rare delight to come across such a lighthearted and at times humorous collection of verse that celebrates everything from life and living to love and children to nature and society. Dr. Anthony N. Lucass rare ability to find the good in everything shines most brightly in "Im Not What You See!" as he exhorts us to look past physical handicaps and appearances to see the beauty of the soul within. He then reminds us that no matter what we do or how successful we become in this world, in the end our family and our God are all we have to sustain us, gently turning us back to familial love and sacred faith in poems such as "In My Fathers Shadow", and "A Praise Response during Trying Times". On the mark, timely, and with obviously joyous language, Dr. Lucas has compiled a collection of verse to be turned to time and time again for encouragement, inspiration and comfort.
