Book Review: Wings of Discovery December 2, 2002 -- Inspirational Fiction By: Judine Slaughter, eBook Reviews Weekly Description: An exhilarating flight Most of us have heard the saying, "There's nothing to fear, but fear itself." Although the rhetoric sounds good, to actually put it to use is a completely different story. Fear can stop someone from experimenting with new activities, eating exotic foods, and traveling to foreign lands. But once you overcome the fear, you will most likely discover joy. This joy comes from the accomplishment of breaking the imaginary chains of thought which held you hostage. Wings of Discovery helps to clip those chains of fear. The premise of the book is about the overcoming the fear of flying. Although his father was a pilot, Mark succumbs to a horrendous phobia about flying. Then one day, he spots two ultralight planes having "fun" in the air. While the planes land, Mark tracks them in his car and introduces himself to the pilots. This marks the beginning of his adventure -- pursing his passion, following his dream and conquering his fear. Capt. Stacey L. Chance introduces the reader to a wealth of information about how the Federal Aviation Administration ensures the safety of aircraft. He also entertains by intermingling his vivid descriptions of the landscapes and scenery when his characters take flight. I felt as if I soared through the air, and watched as the coyote ran to keep up with the plane. For anyone really interested in learning to fly, I learned that airplane kits are available. I definitely recommend Wings of Discovery for anyone who wants to learn more about aviation, and who those who allow their fears to hinder them from soaring to new dimensions.
