*This list of PERSPECTIVE POINTS will guide us on our Ocean Road journey. Most of the time there will be a handful within each chapter. Trust me when I say they'll all offer clarity once they are explained. They will give us a fresh perspective that will bring a clear focus. Each point will be tied in to reflection questions at the end of each chapter, so that we can apply what we learn. Practical application is what changes our situation. Thanks for being part of this journey. We're excited for all that will happen along the way...on the Ocean Road.
