The personally reflective nature of the book, which looks across decades, is
its most compelling aspect. Meakes offers a detailed look at how a person's
identity and beliefs emanate from the quality and sequence of their life
experiences. His confident, critical, sober yet hopeful view of himself and
the world is engaging and inviting.

DISCOVER A UNIQUE, COMPREHENSIBLE, AND ATTAINABLE
CONCEPT FOR WORLD PEACE.
In Perspective: The Golden Rule, David Meakes brings passion,
revealing insight, and thoughtful analysis to illustrate his visceral hatred
of the immorality and cruelty of war. By taking the reader through his
growing years; his rational doubt of traditional religions; his political
belief; his five years of WWII experience; the assassinations of President
John Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King and Senator Robert Kennedy; and
his comprehensive review of the causes and solutions of war, he presents a
distinctive and informative approach to the age-old quest for world peace.
Meakes uses a historical timeline, incisive analysis and relevant quotations
to illustrate his intelligent and carefully researched commentary on global
education, political issues and historical events. His hope? That this tiny
seed, combining with others, will culminate in a global peaceful society.
