Spoonful of Courage: Equations to Find Grace in Life's Challenges Paperback – April 4, 2022

I came across this book at the best time in my life. I have had a lot of trials, especially this past year, and have really felt like I have been living life on the defensive. After reading Dr. Chuck’s Spoonful of Courage, he gave me a new way of thinking that can be implemented right away in my life and help me grow stronger through Christ. He perfectly connects his own personal experiences to reflect on different ways of thinking that are broken down in straight-forward, easy to understand solutions.I have personally known Dr. Chuck and his family for as long as I can remember. He and his family are some of the most faith filled people I know, and I cannot think of anyone better to help improve people’s lives by teaching them to grow stronger through Christ.

Dr Charles W. Page has written an inspiring and thought-provoking book: Spoonful of Courage. This reading seeks to help people in improving their lives and in finding joy in their reality. Many times, it is very difficult to be happy and uplifted due to the current circumstances that are affecting the world. In this context, people adopt different frameworks that put them in the place of victims or heroes. Both positions imply a burden being carried by the person that at times becomes impossible to bear. The author explains very clearly and from a Christian perspective, how to rely on God while we revisit our life, our circumstances and our choices to finally thrive, succeed and have a fulfilling life.I enjoyed reading this book a lot. I found it clear and very easy to understand and follow. The pieces of advice it presents are useful and logical. I think that it is a book to keep at hand and read over and over again.

In my opinion, “Spoonful of Courage” is one of the best self- help books I have read in the last months. It contains a systematic, comprehensible and helpful manual for living a better and peaceful life.The author, Charles Page, guided me with invaluable advice and taught me to transform my thinking. He did also an amazing job at mapping the science of self-help, self-discipline and patience.The book offers a set of practical tools and techniques, principle and theory that in my humble opinion are awesome, clear and innovative.On the other hand, this title is so well organized, simple and captivating that I couldn’t put it down.I’m happy with this purchase; I found it really inspiring and thought provoking.

Page, MD earned his medical degree and training in surgery from Baylor College of Medicine, and in addition to his practice of surgery healing bodies, he also mentors for healing of the spirit and soul. His encouraging advice is shared in videos and his Spoonful of Courage television show. His books to date include children’s stories such as AZI’S DANCE, medical advice as in SURRENDERED SLEEP, and Christian spiritual advice as in A SPOONFUL OF COURAGE FOR THE SICK AND SUFFERING, and SPOONFUL OF COURAGE: Equations to Find Grace in Life’s Challenges. He lives in Nacogdoches, Texas.The book’s title, and indeed the overall messages Dr. Page so generously shares, is based on the well-known saying ‘ A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down,’ and with a winning degree of gentle conversation and wisdom he shares how the Christian faith serves as the source of inspiration and courage in facing life’s confrontations. ‘With humble confidence, I present verifiable reasons for a personal God who does what we cannot do for ourselves. This framework embraces an all-powerful Being without minimizing personal responsibility.’ That warm tone of conversational sharing pours gracefully from every page of this book.Relating interesting personal stories from his life as a surgeon and in other modes, Dr. Page engages empathy with his practical approaches to appraising life’s challenges in this particular time of technology’s impact on or minds and the resultant insecurity that creates, and the need for answers to life’s big questions about identity, meaning, and spirituality. His emphasis is on Christianity – the impact and support of faith that he explains so naturally. This book is particularly of value in these times of the stress of the pandemic, war, isolation from friends and companions and extended families, the political tenor, and more. Read Dr. Page’s book and discover alternative ways to see and experience life – transforming challenges into blessings. Recommended. Grady Harp, April 22
