Dallas Octogenarian Publishes New Book of Essays

"Aw, Grow Up!," a new book by Harry C. Hoover, Jr., has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

In this insightful book, Harry C. Hoover, Jr. describes his concerns about society today – that it is a much more self-centered world, than a God-centered one. He believes this is evidenced by the turmoil today, where there is always some sort of strife going on in the world.

While readers may or may not agree, the points he introduces will at least provide a basis for thought and possibly prompt the reader to take a closer look at his/her life and its part in contributing to the world as a whole. If people don't change their "self-centeredness," how can they expect the world to ever be at peace?
