"Author provides helpful letters for the chapters of our lives."

 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.   Ifeel 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  agreat  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.

" An Apostle for Christ "  
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 sittingdown 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 The 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 worshiped    (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.”

"An Excellent book!"
Tom Ward, of 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 Chapters 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.

"Delightful read with truth on display !"

"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 pieceof 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 LetterSeven 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 anyway,  but rather eyeball to eyeball  with 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!
