In Finding Abundance and Meaning in Life, Clayton draws on decades of teaching, research, travel, and personal reflection to explore universal themes of work, service, gratitude, and the search for meaning.
Across brief, engaging essays originally published in newspapers including The Tuscaloosa News, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Miami Herald, Clayton connects moments from everyday experience to timeless lessons about purpose and fulfillment. The collection ranges across history, education, family, and the arts—offering readers both insight and inspiration for living intentionally.

His writing blends a scholar’s curiosity with the wisdom of personal experience, offering readers a voice that is reflective, grounded, and deeply human.
“Meaning is never far away when we look carefully at the life we’ve been given,” Clayton writes. “There is abundance all around us if we take the time to see it.”
