Book Description
Doing stupid things …. a nice way of getting out of the borders that define to us our … boring reality I hear many people … complaining they have … boring lives … and when i ask some of them what is going on … trying to teach them my technique of …. analyzing… defining …. as into the end to be able to totally redefine the reality itself …. i see a weird fear … that i could not understand for years. But later on …. I’ve realized it’s the fear of making mistakes … and all sorts of stupid things … not seeing that everything is just part of this scenario … called life … and has the meaning to reveal us … its secrets.

Book Description
Experiencing a path that takes us to nowhere … it’s not useless. We should understand and accept that not the destination is important … cause life has no real destination. …but what it is really important is maybe the experience itself. Good … bad … however it is … it all has the meaning to reveal to us the dance of energies beyond the scene of reality… making us aware that all is … energy. Into the end … maybe there is only one conclusion … but i hate saying it. Well … we could chose to connect just on the beautiful vibrations of life … and totally ignore negativity. But … we can’t. I … can’t … Maybe … i’ll never be able to do it. So … life continues …. revealing new and new experiences… and i still don’t really understand the energies … …. the amazing dance of energies. Looking … like a cocktail of …. elements … which induces us the illusion of the abstract. I smile … and i stop being annoyed. I allow to life to continue … and i finally accept that in fact … life would continue anyway … with or without my approval. And … all i have to do is just to experience it … with or without joy … even if i know that the only purpose is to evolve spiritually. So ….

Book Description
I think during my lifetime … i’ve been annoyed one million times. I was annoyed of lots of people and the circumstances created by them … and many times … my reactions were really ugly. I’ve blamed everyone. On and on and on. And even if i knew that it was all a reflection … when it came about my own life … i was blind and could not accept such a theory. I was living 2 parallel lives … one where i was a theoretician that is analyzing and defining life …. and one living on the scene of my real life … where i was ignoring all i was doing in the first life. It was a total nonsense to have 2 lives in the same time … instead of mixing them .. and trying to create a hybrid version for my existence. There were moments when i was laughing of myself … of how silly i was … but … Well … i was blind. I count not connect the 2 realities. I could not be … just one. It was like i had … 2 souls inside of me … which was probably the most ridiculous idea i could come with. But …. time was passing … and i was starting to understand… what was wrong. I had indeed … 2 souls. One was the self … the real one, the one connected with the Universe … and the other one was …. my ego … my fake self … which looked all the time … so damn real. I continued my life … balancing. On and on …. and on. In fact i was not applying my spiritual knowledge to my own life … and i kept being annoyed. No matter how good the curent reality was … i always found a reason … not to be satisfied … or even continue being unhappy. It was like i was ignoring … even perfect case scenarios. Well … in both of my parallel lives … i was analyzing a lot …. all around myself … but as a thinker i was looking at everything with detachment … and on the scene of reality … i was treating everything … as real. There was no … detachment. I had to mix my 2 personalities … and become just one. It was ok that i was analyzing everything and everyone … but i had to stop judging and most important to ignore … or at least to pretend i don’t see the dark side of all was going on. I had to stop being annoyed. I had this freedom of exploring souls … but i had to learn to practice … the acceptance. Being annoyed … was so, so stupid of me … cause i was annoyed of … my own reflection. … of what i disliked on myself. Exploring deeply the world and all the souls i was seeing on the scene of reality … was ok. But … the wisest thing i could do … was to let my 2 parallel lives to interfere. Apply the spiritual principles into the real life. Forget about the illusion … of myself.

Book Description
Truth be told we don’t understand so well the world we live in. And it’s not that we suffer of an absence of intelligence… but because we don’t really have the ability to connect to the universe we are living in. We don’t understand the people that are around us. We can’t really understand their reactions …. their way of being … and in fact … almost nothing. We live in here by so, so many years … but … Well …. we don’t even understand ourselves either … In times of calmness all looks ok … but the second a very little change appears in the parameters that define our lives … something is activated inside of us and we start to be dominated by energies … came from nowhere … And we start to have all sorts of weird reactions. All it’s clear … and we can see it’s not our … usual behaviour … or our usual personality… but it’s weird … observing all those new reactions. We analyse … but can’t really understand what is going on. It’s most probably… a hidden side of our personality… but even if we are conscious of everything… we can’t understand what is really going on. … that’s maybe … the nice story … being conscious of some weird energies which are dominating our lives. And i call it a nice story .. cause once we succeed to calm down … this side of our personality … fades little by little. But many other energies are dominating our lives … and we are not even conscious of that. We become into the end … totally dominated by those energies … acting like entities… defined only and only by their obsessions. And we see so many examples like that near us …. People dominate by … alcohol. … or drugs. … or the desire of eating … even if they lost control of their weight. … or money. … or sex … … or work … The list of obsessions is … infinite. I look at the people from the stage of my life, but also at myself … and it’s like some little bosses are totally controlling life into one point. I personally became conscious of it. I know of their existence … and i’d love to define those weird entities that are dominating us … beyond the scene of reality. Don’t know if i’ll succeed … but i’ll try …

Book Description
This story poses a profound question - do we accept the hand that fate deals us, or do we battle to make the most of the life we have and help others in the process? Chris Graham, just 38 years old but already facing the advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease, has emphatically chosen the latter. Having lived through a troubled childhood, Chris joined the British Army at a young age and found that the life of a soldier provided him with a much-needed sense of stability. However, his world was turned upside down when, at just 34 years of age, he was diagnosed with a form of early onset dementia. This brutal disease had already claimed the life of his father at 42, along with several other members of his family, and tragically had already confined his brother to a nursing home at the age of 43. In his brother's life, Chris could see a terrifying window into his own near future. Chris, though, is an extraordinary human being. Having been handed nothing less than a death sentence, he decided overnight to stand up to this horrendous disease and do something to leave his mark before it was too late. And so it was that last year, Chris embarked on an awareness-raising 16,000-mile solo cycle around North America, armed only with his bike, a sense of humour, and some good old-fashioned British grit. Leaving his ever-supportive wife Vicky and baby son Dexter at home, he took on huge challenges - for instance, the fear that the ability to discern left from right might leave him at any point while navigating an entire continent - and made it home in time for Christmas, determined to spending however long he has left pouring his love and attention into his family life. Five Minutes of Amazing is both the story of Chris' epic journey and of his fight against the disease increasingly being recognised as the defining disease of our generation. Inspiring and heart-rending in equal measure, it's as important as it is moving, and it will touch everyone who reads it.

Book Description
This is a spiritual testament of my life's journey, as well as a channel of inspiration to guide believers and non-believers in Christ to seek growth and development in their lives. It was essentially important for me to gain the understanding that every aspect of our life is spiritual. Though that truth I begin to see how crucial it was to start each day with a positive state of mind. But it was very difficult for me to do that since I was incarcerated on death row. Eventually my meditation and study of the bible helped me to create a method to achieve that blessing. I grew up in a dysfunctional home. This prevented me from acquiring any meaningful appreciation of myself as a person. And I've come to notice how the perpetuation of superficial standards in our society have eroded the desire to embrace a true value of ourselves. So genuine self-worth is being discarded. But God's grace through his word elevated my perception of who I am as a believer in Christ, and thus have motivated me to pursue the improvements of my inner-man. Having a spirit of excellence brings honor to God. So take pride in who you are. Putting my trust completely in God was a struggle that plagued me for many years. This was due to the fact that I did not have personal relationship with Christ. So out of ignorance I believed that a backsliding Christian was not entitled to receive any help from god. But when I shift my focus back on proper worship, I came to understand the depth of God's mercy and how his love for humanity will never let him forsake us, because Jesus knows how it feels to undergo the various struggles we endure. Showing genuine love to other people is mandatory for a believer in Christ. But for various reasons people are more incline to be hateful rather than loving toward others. Yet my insight of scriptures as I applied them to my life, aided me in showing love to a man who tried to take my life. The betrayal of a close friend helped the prosecution to win an unjustifiable conviction. This experience gave birth to a sovereignty of bitterness in my heart. The weight of this resentment became a tremendous burden. And only through Jesus was I able to break free from this negative stronghold. The deterioration of faith in god is a typical occurrence for prisoners on death row. I wrestled with a regression of faith but was able to win that battle after I received a confirmation on the importance faith played in my walk with Christ. Plus I discovered that I merely tak

Book Description
The Make It Happen Journey creates a culture of kingdom empowerment based on team-centered values that reach people in the marketplace and help them unleash their extraordinary God-given potential. Since the book is written to a secular corporate business audience, the verbiage used is the "make it happen" language of business. The team values highlighted are defined as Make It Happen Team Values, and each value is based upon faith principles that can be applied to real life and business. Some Examples of the Make It Happen Team Values Are: -People Are Led by Servant Leaders -People Are Service Enthusiasts -Take Calculated Risks in the Pursuit of Excellence -Work Extremely Hard and Have Lots of Fun -Celebrate Individual and Team Accomplishments with Abundance Mentality
