Author Spotlight - Lee Ray

Picture Description:
"Bushels and Barrels - Redefining the American Dream" is an inspirational, non-fiction book aimed at discussing life's toughest challenges and riches rewards with the reader.  By infusing my personal life into the discussions, I hope to be able to relate with the reader better and show them I have lived the life and learned the lessons I'm passing along personally.  By the end of the book, I hope I have helped teach them there are blessings in every day of our lives, we have to put forth the effort to find them at times.  I believe the reader will now know how to survive negative events and strive for a more positive perspective and life.

Lee has written a book that takes a lot of courage to write. Exposing your life to the world is not easy.The use of his experiences to provide examples and inspiration for others to find the positive in every event is well done. The book is well-written and thought provoking.

In Bushels and Barrels, author Lee Ray takes a refreshingly positive approach to dealing with
the struggles and adversities faced by Middle America today. Of course we all grew up with
an interpretation of the "American Dream" and we all thought we'd have exactly that by now,
right? But if we don't, what do we do then?

It's so easy to get bogged down and depressed under the weight of the world around us.
What people often forget is that it's the struggles that make us stronger and the adversity that
makes us better and more able to deal with things as they come our way. It can be hard to see
sometimes, but it is true.

The author writes "We're all living the dream, right? Sometimes we just need to change exactly
what that term actually means." This is the tone and message of the book: to redefine our
dreams and realize that maybe, just maybe, we're already living them, and we just need to
open our eyes and change the way we think to realize it.

All readers will be able to identify with the struggles presented in Bushels and Barrels. The
commonality of individual difficulties is widespread, even if the exact problems aren't the same.
Lee Ray's history and stories of his own life are easily relatable, and his choice to overcome
them and move forward in his life and in his faith is inspiring.

Each chapter addressing struggle is immediately followed by another that highlights the
blessings we each have, encouraging readers to alter the way they perceive the world they live
in and the way they look at hardship. From each complication we face in life, a blessing is sure
to be there, too, we just have to look for it.

Bushels and Barrels is a thought-provoking read that helps to remind us that life is what we
make of it, just as it always has been and always will be.
