"The Chapters of Life"
"The Chapters of Life" are (60) letters of inspiration for the betterment of living life to the fullest. With over (250) verses from the New International Version of the Bible, this book is for all believers and all of those who want to seek the Lord in their lives.
With the installation of humor, love, and inspirational concepts given through the scriptures, "The Chapters of Life" opens avenues for open heartedness and Holy Spirit counciling.
The letters were given to me in December of 2003 and in March 2004, PublishAmerica and I were under contract as publisher and author. I have found inspiration through the letters in the troubled areas of life. Even after reading the book over and over through the editing process, "The Chapters of Life" still speaks to my heart. I can relate life's situations to the letters and from the letters to the Word of God. And thus the truth of the Word is brought to life in me.
You will find you can read the letters in "The Chapters of Life" over and over again and see the love God has for us through His servants and the saints around the world. Letters of inspiration, words of truth, feelings of love, and heartfelt mercy through grace is the love our Father in Heaven has for us. And so was conceived; "The Chapters Of Life".

"The Breath Of God"
Letter 45
I know you do not remember your first breath, but if you could ask the doctor who delivered you, he would probably say that you already had breath. He had to clean out your nostrils of the mucus but breath was already evident. There are some of us that have complications at birth and probably need a doctor to give our lungs a push start. These babies that survive through this kind of trauma have a place from God. I’m not saying that we do not all have a special place as God’s servants, but I believe that there are those whom God has a specified purpose in life. We can go through life, and only in the end before our Creator, are we to find out what was specified for our lives. You may go through your whole life wondering what God wants from you, or you may know right now and are reluctant to do His will. I hope not because there might be someone else’s soul waiting for your response. Does this not seem like God to wait on us to respond and then come to our rescue if we fail? I love God’s brilliance in His design of our lives when it comes to our dependency upon Him.
Genesis 2:7 quotes: “And the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.” Pretty simple right? I do not think so! There are those skeptics who say that we came from a single cell amoeba and then evolved into what we are today. And there are those who said that we just existed or there was a big boom and we were developed from the life giving matter of the universe. I wish someone would get a grip. You take any one of these people and put them in a hospital bed in a life or death situation and they will not be praying or asking, “O-molecules of the universe save me!” In the most serious of times and situations, people turn to others for prayer and personal guidance.
It seems like people come back to the knowledge that was breathed into them at that very first breath of life. They see the light of the Lord when their eyes first open, and when focus is gained, then they see the world as it is. Does this not sound of an ancient aging process? People can try to deny that God was not evident at their birth, but then as they say, “You cannot lie to what your heart knows.” I told you earlier in letter # 19 that every man is born with the knowledge of a living God. As God breathed the life into Adam, so also as recorded in Genesis was the knowledge of who God is. Adam was not guessing who or what created him, he knew. If you think it is different today, then again, I base my theory on the fact that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now are you going to argue that Jesus doesn’t change, but what about God?
I’m sorry, but to talk about the things of God instead of the things of Jesus, we have to go to the Old Testament. I Samuel 15:29 says, “He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man, that He should change His mind.” Okay, now you say these words came from a man so this does not prove anything. From another man of God, Malachi 3:6 says, “I the Lord do not change.”
If you still do not believe that these writings are true then read up on what the punishment was for false truths presented to King James in the writing of his version of the Bible. I believe if 500 men, whose lives were at stake, searched out the finest truths ever written, then they experienced God’s divine love as to what was to be said because they were not killed. Never in any place in the Bible has there been proven a false statement or a lie. If you want to make history, then find one mistake written in the Bible. Fact is; Believe It Or Not!!!
Author provides helpful letters for the chapters of our lives

Ky/USA (2/3/2006) It has been a pleasure and a blessing to read Daryl Worcester's The Chapters of Life. None of us are immune to the day to day troubles that face us. Some of us face them headlong without doubt or confusion and yet they don't always turn out as we expect. Some of us seek help from loved ones or friends while others have an inner strength that seems to come from a higher power ( God ) and they without fret or worry turn all their burdens over to Him. Daryl Worcester seems to be one of those people who trusts in God explicitly and listens to God speaking to Him through His Word and through his meditation. From Daryl's book The Chapters of Life it proves that Daryl takes everything to the Lord and relays God's messages to Him throughout the book in what Daryl calls his letters to us. Written in short easy to understand chapters, Daryl treats the reader to a little humor in each one, but is solidly serious in his offer of help to us through each trial, lesson, or question facing us. I find his letters or chapters all scripturally sound and very helpful. I feel his desire in his quest to share the Word through his profound experiences in listening to the Lord and his relying upon the Holy Spirit for guidance as he wrote these wonderful letters. I whole-heartedly suggest this book as a great book to help us spiritually in our day to day lives. This book would make a great daily devotional to read over and over as the messages will endure forever and will never grow old or change. They are endearing and life altering. I highly recommend it to anyone for an uplifting start or end to their day. "In This Valley I Grew" ISBN 1-4137-9399-1 Coming Soon Poems, Prayers, and Promises of An Appalachian Woman
An Excellent book
Tom Ward
Oklahoma (11/17/2005) The Chapters of Life written by author Daryl Worcester, is one of the most uplifting, encouraging and inspirational books that I have read in a long time. It is evident from his book that Daryl Worcester has walked the pages of his book, as he so elegantly lays out the Chapter of his life. Author Daryl Worcester shares his thoughts, feelings and life's experience that have always led him back to the source of his strenght, Jesus Christ. I highly recommend The Chapters of Life to anyone who may need a pick-me-up, a word of encouragement or the reinforcement that God is still on the throne and that Jesus Christ is the source of our strength.

The Chapters of Life
Robbie Lamb
Tennessee, USA (1/29/2008) I just finished reading, “The Chapters of Life”, by Daryl Worcester. This book is full of scriptures, which will not only show us how to stay close to God, our creator, but will teach us, no matter how we fail in this life, He still loves us. This well written book, teaches us, no one person is perfect, we must strive to stay in God’s good graces. Another title, to “The Chapters of Life”, comes to mind, “A Walk with God”. I want to thank Daryl for allowing me to read this wonderful inspired book, and take a journey with him throughout his life. Robbie Lamb
An Apostle for Christ
Joyce
Sunrise, FL, USA (11/22/2005) This is a book filled with the wisdom of an apostle for Christ, spilling over with the everyday knowledge and words of a man who loves his faith and shares it on every level of his life. "Chapters of Life" can be read one chapter at a time and meditated on throughout the day. Daryl’s letters are written to those who know God, are seeking to know him better, and to those who are searching for him. Imagine sitting down in your living room and having, without fear, a conversation about the ordinary things of life with the one who created you, came to earth to live, suffer, and die as one of you. That is what it felt like for me to read his letters to us in Chapters of Life. Once I told a priest I had a lot of questions to ask God when I saw him. He simply said, “God can handle it.” Daryl handles the deep mysteries of life in much the same way as he does his work--with courage, strength, and gentle concern for all as he counsels, and guides them through the Scriptures in his letters. I wonder if St. Joseph counseled the Child in that way? I was also reminded of the time that a good Benedictine nun quoted the Ten Commandments to me backwards, as Daryl does in one chapter. When she came to the first and said “I am the Lord thy God….........” all the false gods I had previously worshipped (such as pretty dresses and boyfriends) dissolved in her eyes. Daryl’s chapter on the commandments had the same effect on me. When I think of the fishermen to whom Jesus called and told to follow him, I see Daryl right there with them pulling in the net, with its contents full and overflowing, and Jesus telling him, “From now on, you will catch men.” Joyce Ann Edmondson "The Listening Tree" "Falling Petals"
Delightful read with truth on display
Dennis
Columbus, OH (2/12/2005) "The Chapters of Life" by Daryl Worcester, 1-4137-3414-6, Publish America, 2004. "Here, have a cup of coffee. Sit down on the couch. Better yet, let's sit at the kitchen table and my wife will cut us a piece of her world famous apple pie. Then we can talk." That's pretty close to how you'll feel while reading Daryl Worcester's book, The Chapters of Life. An easy and enjoyable read where the author simply shares with the reader things that God has shown or told him. Daryl expounds on such topics as the Bible, life, spiritual matters, and even a little good old common sense, just to name a few. He does so in short poignant chapters he prefers to call aptly "Letters". As an example, his humorous way of paraphrasing the Ten Commandments in Letter Seven had me laughing heartily yet acknowledging the truth he spells out in today's language. I knew he wasn't trying to be irreverent but rather just talking out loud to me about how to live them day by day. Other Letters will get you thinking. Still other Letters will tap into your emotions as he shares his personal beliefs, perspectives, and disappointments as far reaching as the west Kansas plains in which Mr. Worcester lives. Yes, you'll laugh with Daryl. But you'll grimace too, as he opens his heart and his life's experiences---blemishes and all---to you in the hope of comforting your soul, lightening your burdens, and sharing his love of God. And all the while you'll feel like you've just shared several relaxing hours with him in his boat, lines in the water, waiting for that prize bass to take a nibble----not even knowing you've just received one of his greatest gifts----one--on--one conversation. The Chapters of Life is a testimonial to Daryl's faith that seems to have been quite mature and rather perceptive right from the start when he first accepted Christ as Savior. Many of his insights reveal his depth of character and his sincerity of faith. Yet it's casual style and west Kansas perspective is at times point-blank blunt. Sometimes we need that--and Daryl obliges with page after page, chapter after chapter of home-spun thinking and an upbeat outlook. The Chapters of Life is not arrogant or condescending in any way, but rather eyeball to eyeball truth without a pulpit, fancy liturgical robe, or stuffed-shirt style. In other words, Daryl being Daryl--at times a little mischievous, and at other times being dead serious. Just like the way he puts his faith on display, The Chapters of Life is life or death choices in everyday living. Whether you read The Chapters of Life as a daily devotional or simply read it like a book, one thing will be evident right from the start; Mr. Worcester lets you know how the scriptures spoke to him and how they've affected his life. What more could you want from a good friend? Some quality time and some heartfelt conversation! Dennis A. Beaudry, Columbus, Ohio, author of A Meeting in the Air, and The State of Christianity.
