Doug Bolton, the founder of the blog, Signs of Hope, which is at www.dailysignsofhope.com, has written a new book, “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.” It will be reaching out the many military and veterans who may be battling anxiety, fear, depression, addictions, rejections, and the many other usual suspects. There are 22 military connected suicides ever day. That is almost one every hour. Doug wants to help stop those statistics. Doug sent off his mini proposal to an agent who is very interested in his concept. We will update you when we hear more.

Ok…Here is the last installment of the chapters from the new book, “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.”

After I share these chapters there will be future  postings where there will be more in depth look at some of those same chapters. So be sure to subscribe so you can see some of the actually wording from some of the chapters.

+ Be sure to read at the end of this posting about a new section that will added to the book.

So here is the last of the chapter titles and some news of a new section for the book, “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of life:”

If Only I would Have..

We all have our, “If only I would haves… We look back and wonder what would have happened if you would have done something different when we face adversity. Something traumatic happened in my childhood that could have been totally different if I would have acted differently.

What Are You Saving Your Talents For?

We often set aside our abilities, our dreams, or our talents for reasons unknown. We need to take the first giant step and succeed.

Move Out of Your Home Called Depression.

Too many of us live at the corner of despair, and hopelessness. We need to know that we do not need to let depression overcome us. There are so many things we can do to cause a bright future in our lives.

Let’s Start a Ripple Effect

This final chapter shares how we should be the example to help others around us. It can the ripple effect like you see when you throw a pebble into a lake. The ripples keep going out farther and farther. Our influence can do the same thing.

+ This is the very first announcement of a new feature for the book, “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.”

There will an new added ending to the book. I have done some interviewing of actual soldiers of different branches of the military. There are some gut wrenching stories of facing death, losing of buddies, and near death experience. I have already interviewed two WWII veterans with near death experiences; one Vietnam veteran who saw his buddy die. Another Vietnam veteran who was medic that had several stories of scared young men wounded, and dying.

I have one more WWII nurse lined up, plus some more Vietnam , and Gulf war veterans to interview. I may be able to slip in a Korean veteran as well. This will one of the highlights of the book that will bring tears to your eyes, and have you proud of our veterans who put themselves in harms way.

To all you veterans:

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I have been working very hard on my new book, “Signs of Hope: For the Military. I feel that it will help many soldiers and their families. The appendix for this book will have one of the most complete lists available for finding help in any area a person may be searching for pertaining to the military.

As of 3-31-15 I have connected with a military expert from Alabama. His name is Leroy Hurt. He is a West Point Graduate, and will be advising me through-out the process of writing the book.I also have been connecting with many retired officers from various segments of the military. This will be very valuable to have their knowledge in putting together the book.

Be looking for updates on the book and other news at this site, or at http://www.dailysignsofhope.com.

_________________________________________________________________________

I am going to be completely changing the format on this site. I will now be spending much more time on updating you and sharing on the progress of the new book, “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches,” (working title) along with some excerpts from the book from time to time.

I have now talked to many officers and soldiers that are either in the military now, or have retired. I am hoping they might endorse the book when it is completed.

The appendix is growing daily. It will be one of the most complete resources for the military around, It will cover everything from babysitting help to Crises Center numbers to call if people are hurting mentally.

I have been writing every day and I am about half way finished. As I see the book unfolding, I see hope. I see practical suggestions for finding ways to cope.

I am living the book daily. I am writing about my own experiences while I was in the service. I will sharing my own self-doubts, fears, and depression to show that I am one of the military, and not an outsider who thinks he knows what to say.

I have been checking out other books about the military, and there are some very good ones, but I am having a hard time where one puts the reader first and talks directly to them. Many of them are memoirs, or sharing accounts of certain phases of one soldiers life.

Stay with me! I am on your side! Let me put this together for you and hopefully give you some strength, and perseverance.

+ Update: April 8th, 2015

I have been in contact with many military people on Facebook, and Twitter.

I am especially having great success adding many military people to my Twitter account. If you  are a military person and want to connect with me on Twitter, put in @heavenencounter and follow. I will follow back every time if I know you are connected to the military somehow. You can also connect with me on Facebook. Just put my name Doug Bolton in the Facebook search area. I also have an author Facebook page at: “Fans of Doug Bolton.” I will be glad to return the favor of liking your page.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!
