Find Purpose and Success with Unique Inspirational Book

(CLEAR CREEK, IN) People want to find purpose in their lives. Jeffrey Thompson Parker and his new book, Flicker to Flame: Living with Purpose, Meaning, and Happiness (Morgan James Publishing, December 2006), are on a mission to help people electrify their lives.

By helping readers abandon their frustrating mundane lives through adopting proven principles for happiness, Parker presents readers with the motivation to “shine bright and flourish.” Readers will be able to realize their dreams and accomplish their goals to find true purpose, happiness, and success in both their personal and professional lives.

Parker introduces The Nine Axioms of Happiness, compiling ideas from ancient Greek philosophers to 21st Century American authors and from the Bible to Buddha to develop a successful continual pursuit of happiness.

The truisms found in the book will allow readers’ flickers to grow into full-fledged flames of purpose, meaning and happiness. Examples of the axioms include: believe it to be; envision and prepare for the future; receive inspiration, provide motivation; and the tree of three: nurture body, mind, and spirit.

“Pure motives combined with passionate efforts yield extraordinary results,” Parker states.

Flicker to Flame discusses:
• How the understanding and implementation of the Nine Axioms of Happiness will allow readers to experience more purpose, meaning and happiness
• Realizing goals and the fulfillment of dreams is possible when the principles of the Nine Axioms of Happiness are learned and become practiced habits
• How through the expression of our gifts, talents and callings we can “shine bright and flourish”

Jeffrey Thompson Parker is an author, former Fortune 500 businessman and is currently an entrepreneur running a retail and construction company. A former champion NCAA Division I college and professional Australian basketball player, Parker has pursued and accomplished many dreams. He is a living testament to the Nine Axioms of Happiness as he has seen much fortune in his lifetime by reevaluating how he pursues success. Parker is married to his wife of over 20 years and has 3 children.

A portion of the proceeds of the book will go towards the Timmy Foundation, an organization that provides health-care and education to children in impoverished nations.
