Mayberry Reflections: The Early Years, the collection of inspirational and thought-provoking reflections based upon “The Andy Griffith Show,” was released today. The collection of inspirational essays is based upon the important, timeless lessons found in a television show that aired in the 1960s which are still popular with viewers today.

Ken thinks that it is important for today�s readers to understand that the
values that were found in Mayberry are as important today as they were back
when Mayberry first aired. He wants to give readers some things to reflect
upon as they watch the wonderful episodes that show life as it was in
Mayberry.
