While reading this book and something unexpected happens, how would you respond? Who would you look to for help? There are a vast number of people stranded on life’s highway struggling for help to resolve the difficult crises they face day to day. The goal is to assist in a manner that enables them to endure with dignity and hope. Think of the many crises you have faced and where you would have ended up had someone not stopped and shared a helping hand. Crises can either bring out the best in us or the worse, depending on one’s ability to cope. A Flickering Flame is a metaphor suggesting that when unexpected events occur, the source of light is affected resulting in a flicker. Viewed through the physical lens during a storm or power surge, the lights might flicker. Similarly, in the emotional realm, severe losses leave people bereft of vital sources of emotional supplies and typically produce grieving reaction (flickering flames). There will be times when your light will flicker, but someone will show up to keep it aglow. Equipping and empowering congregational leaders is a model that produces creative strategies for caregiver intervention.

Flickering Flame: Poetic Echoes presents a collection of poetry written by a doctor on the verge of retirement. Writing under the pen name Wonky Wizard, he divides his work into several sections, including musings, relationship, social and political topics, and children. He also provides four translations of Chinese classical poems into English. Most of his original works-personal musings on life and family-were written over the course of a year, between consultations at his clinic. He wrote in response to his friends' comments and clients' problems and to consider family events, revealing his honest thoughts and feelings on these and other topics. From an examination of his feelings about death and dying in "Bucket List" and "Farewell to a Friend" to his feelings about children in "Sharing" and "Why," he offers his perspective on a wide range of subjects. Writing to evoke interest in English among students in Malaysia, to connect with other poets, and to offer a gift to his daughter and grandchildren, the poet turns to the universality of poetry-the shared pool of emotions from which it is drawn-to help us see echoes of ourselves in other narratives. And now he invites you to be a spectator of his journey.

HOPE is our children's window for a better tomorrow. In terms of resilience and well-being, hope is a critically important predictor of success. This creative story from the best-selling author of My Mouth is a Volcano!, and Bubble Gum Brain, reminds children that dark clouds can be temporary and asking for help is always okay. We all have times when we need to borrow a little hope from someone else.

When your clouds get too dark, and too heavy to push away, Reach out and ask, "Can I borrow some light?" "I'm having a really bad day." It's always okay to admit to yourself, "I just can't do it today. Everyone needs somebody sometimes, to help them find their way." Sometimes the dark clouds overhead seem too heavy and you feel like giving up. Little candle knows all about this. Bad grades, blasted on social media, worried about making the team, and wondering who her real friends are so many hard things to deal with! All she can see is darkness. But her story begins to change when someone notices she needs a boost of hope. As little candle is reminded she has purpose and her own unique gifts, and that she isn't the only one with dark clouds, her dim light begins to shine brighter. This hopeful story emphasizes for children (and adults) the many different ways to ask for help, and their ability to be a hope builder for others, too.
