Jacqueline L. Clarke (Author), Charles H. Clarke (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1998

Laugh your way to emotional good health with "Nathan, Spiritual Advisor to Bill and Bob," the second book in the Nathan Trilogy, adult parables about some very uncommon cats -- troubled but teachable toms who learn how to live life on life's terms as they are guided to spirituality. This highly nutritional, easily digestible supplement for the soul features Nathan in the role of mentor to Bill and Bob, two "wombmates" who move into the Clarke household.

A fast and funny read, "Bill and Bob" deals with family dynamics, relationships, surviving the Christmas holidays, and Nathan's temporary loss of faith, as the book documents Bob's personality conversion (spiritual awakening). The message in "Bill and Bob" lies in the final chapter in which Nathan explains the ultimate secret to a happy life, The Vision.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Laugh your way to emotional good health with "Bill and Bob," a highly nutritional, easily digestible supplement for the soul. Here are a few of the life lessons Bob learns from Nathan as he journeys away from self-centeredness and toward spirituality.

"Failure isn't falling down; it's refusing to get up again."

"Life is only 10% what you make it and 90% how you take it."

"When you're going through Hell, keep moving"

"Happiness is wanting what you have and believing it is enough."

"Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans."

"Meaningful self improvement for the long term is seldom accomplished in the short term."

"When you're fearful, look for your shadow - because God is the spirit and light within you."

"The Vision is the ability to accept and understand God's will, if only in hindsight; it is the pot of gold at the end of the spiritual rainbow."

"Who we are is God's gift to us; what we become is our gift to Him."

About the Author

Jacqueline Clakre has spent most of her career in the travel industry directing advertising for the U.S. Government's now defunct national tourist office and product development for a large travel corporation where she also served as editor for their bi-monthly travel magazine. She considers her most important achievement, however, learning to live her life on a spiritual basis and appreciating her Higher Power's sense of humor. The Nathan Trilogy, funny adult parables about troubled tomcats who become happily and usefully whole through right living and spiritual growth, is a testament to what she's learned.
