A Marvelous Motivational Work, Plus More!!!
Anthology of Inspiration: Poem the Best Out of You is a diverse collection of a versatile motivational author's reasonings, which consider deeply the challenges facing mankind today. The greater part of the anthology emphasizes a call for hope and life improvement. Dr. Ufomadu dynamically employs certain Christian ideologies as valuable measures of triumphing in time of difficulty. He uniquely portrayed prayer and faith as viable sources of hope and positive growth.
Chapter One, "Verses of Inspiration", begins with "Success, the Best Revenge" and "Never Too Late".
In "Success, the Best Revenge", the author suggests that one is better off if you let God avenge your cause. If you take the battle yourself, you will ultimately paralyze God's favor that has been sent to patronize you. Moreover, no patriotism is more dignified, successful, and classy than God's:
"Success avenges thy cause
Dignity and class override a fuss
Junk immaterialism will paralyze
A favor already delegated to patronize"

In similar instance, "Never Too Late" as the name implies, encourages that it is never too late to dream and achieve. Furthermore, old age should have evidence of positive experience and good advice.
Chapter 2, "Verses of Hope", often uses faith as a guide to forgetting your past mistakes and pressing forward towards your mark as a winner. He closes "Forward Ever, Backward Never" with these lines:
"And a better today I can describe vividly, and try
Forgetting yesterday, which is unworthy of my cry."

Also, the author uses figures of speech in making his cases. 'Goliaths' and 'battles' were types of metaphors used not for their literary meanings. In "Gratitude", 'battle' actually refers to problems we constantly face as humans and 'Goliaths' refers to those giants standing in our way:
"As a devil watches helplessly,
Battles led by General God
Are successful in entirety.
Walls are falling;
My Goliaths are fallen
To rise no more."

Chapter 3, "Songs of a Poet", opens with "Classy Christian Lady, "She's All That and a Christian", and "A Christian Mama". In this chapter, the author lavishly gave the Christian women the honor they deserve in marriages, as a mother, as a sister, and as a friend. In "A Queen Forever", he writes:
"Staring at you constantly,
No artificiality I see."
Here the author is ordinarily saying, "Baby, you are no fake. I've spent time and energy observing you and you are real." This is not about your looks, hairstyle, or make-up, but the combination of inside and outside beauty.
Finally, he gainfully utilizes a special type of anthropomorphism called personification in addressing some pathogenic organisms in food. This technique actually describes things as if they are humans:
In "Listeria" he writes:
"If pressured, I succumb.
Succumb, only if you wash me off your hands,
Cook me properly, and make my abode
Unpleasantly undesirable with proper sanitation."

In "E. Coli" he writes:
"E. Coli knows gastroenteritis,
E. Coli knows to aggravate and agitate."

From all indication, this book is certainly a treasure, and deserves a space in every family's collection.

The best errupting out of me
The inspirational classic is a constant reminder that man is made to shoot for the heights and make concerted attempts at geting above your present level.
"Just try" teaches the reader to make a move.Go ahead in life.
The author in 'Success the best revenge ' challenges you to make a mark and that settles your critics.

It is just avery exciting read,leaving you with a longing for God as your strenght and source as praise errupts to Him for all of life.
