Inspiration PointDog Ear Publishing, 2007 - 172 pages Inspiration Point is aptly titled. The stories and anecdotes enable the reader to slow the day's pace and take a few moments for personal reverie. Steven Ray Bowen writes as an "every man" in a warm, homey style, and relates his memoirs with sensitivity and feeling. As Zig Ziglar would say, he "paints word pictures" that enable the reader to visualize and even "feel" the events he describes. This is pleasant, enjoyable reading." Laurie Magers, Executive Assistant to Zig Ziglar Warning In Inspiration Point, you will go on a special journey with author Steven Bowen.
