MECHANICSBURG, Pa. -- Sunbury Press has released The Small Book of Practical Wisdom for Regular People by Terry Ray. About the Book: "There is a vast ocean of information available today …and barely a drop of Wisdom." You will not find any ancient Chinese wisdom nor mysterious quotes from The Tibetan Book of the Dead in this book. The practical insights found here are 100 original sayings by the author. Reminiscent of a modern day Mark Twain, Terry Ray's wisdom and wit grew out of the experiences of his chaotic, adventurous, happy, tragic, confusing, loving, brokenhearted, betrayed, accomplished, failed, successful, unpredictable life.
