"In Positively Speaking Lou Stoops cultivates
what I believe is our instinctive reach for the ideal and he
does so in a way which provides a vision. We need to build up
the structure of the human spirit. We must work to spread wisdom,
clarity, and illumination. Lou speaks to us in a way which reaches
the part of the human being that has in all ages led this species
to accomplishment, overcoming, and a spirit of well being. Lou
speaks to us with a voice that has been tempered by pastoring,
by counseling, by teaching and by serving. He has looked into
faces of pain and grief and he has learned to discern hope. He
is a realist who understands that idealism is a tool which God
has ordained to help humankind change the world, often beginning
with ourselves. This is a time and age which needs to hear the
message from our contemporary apostles of hope...Positively
Speaking is a message which can help us live even better
in the future. It is a navigational aid on our path to a more
positive life."
