More DescriptionThis book begins with the author describing how the soul was burden on a voyage fueled with despair. Ward characterizes an individual on a journey alone; depicting that in order for one to reach his or her ultimate goal, there must be a strong effort of determination to rise above challenges, despair, and defeat. The journey which the character undertakes lasts throughout the innocent and naïve years of a teenager in search of himself way into the years of adulthood where a stubborn child transforms into a man of valor. In other words, Attitude and Faith: Trusting in the Unknown, eloquently a story of the love, the joy, the pain and the sorrow of an inquisitive child acquiring and seeking from within the quest to know if there will be a tomorrow. In search of hope, the thematic persona simply asks a question with profound implications, and that question is "Life, will there be a tomorrow?" Ward uniquely blends a mixture of poetry and prose to create a dynamic narrative that lifts one's soul from heavy and dark pessimism to light and shiny optimism. He effectively dismisses the myth that one has to live a life in poverty and lies thereby denying the refreshing hope and energy of emotional liberation. Attitude and Faith: Trusting in the Unknown gives definitions to and highlights concepts of feelings, caution, adventurism, faith and self-respect. These concepts become the focus in this brilliant masterpiece. Ward creates the imagery of a person who knows and understands that you cannot succeed by sitting on the sidelines; but you must get up, go somewhere and become somebody. A Character realizes this in Attitude and Faith: Trusting in the Unknown, in both his frustration and desperation of turning his life around, the characters ponders these urgent thoughts: "Standing there somewhere, I decided to go someplace; except I didn't know where to go. What seems to be a perplexing voice turns out to be the starting point for self-inspection and the attitude to become somebody in the midst of a chaotic world within one's own soul.
