Awakening
In a burning world of today you can achieve peace of mind only if you awaken your mind by meditation, following spiritual teachings of great Prophets who came on this earth from time to time. Awakening of mind is the need of time to achieve the peace of mind. Awareness is like the sun when it shines on things, they are transformed. You are rich, when you are content and happy with what you have. Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no voice, troubles or hard work, it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. Be soft, do not let the world make your hard. Do not let pain make you heart. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Remember when root is deep there is no reason to fear of wind. In this book of mine "Awakening" I have thrown light on various subjects to awaken your mind and to have a happy and peaceful life. To believe is to perceive - either by senses or the soul. This distinction constitutes two classes - the sceptic and the believer, which though dependent on, may yet be incomprehensible to each other; but both being necessary to established the balance of thought, they are forced into existence and become the links and cross-links which make life's endless chain from thought to truth. It is a great thing to know the laws of physical nature and exercise control over it. But still greater is to know the laws which govern the human mind, and it is the greatest victory to conquer the mind which conquered the matter, so that he remains no more slave to the matter to conquer which he worked so hard, and thus avoid the greatest contradiction of life. - Dr. Surindar Singh Suri

In gratitude for her survival, she vows to honor God by dedicating her life to His purpose. This story is a testament to resilience and the power of faith. The second story, LAMB O.G. A Walk - Through - Life Story in Honor of God, introduces a lamb named Lamb O.G., who stumbles from a Christmas manger set and embarks on a spiritual journey. Nicknamed the "Old Blessed One," he faces a fight for power against an evil ram, ultimately embracing a role as a heroic faith leader in a story of redemption and hope. The story brings a unique perspective to the themes of sacrifice, resilience and faith. Together, these stories highlight the strength found in vulnerability and the power of God in overcoming life's challenges.

Winning Workplace Wars
Life they say is a battlefield from birth to death. Workplace is where man tries to earn a living and there is a constant struggle for survival there like in any other part of life. As a shepherd in training David battled wild animals to protect his father's flock that he was looking after. When God took him from there to become king of Israel, he had to wage another kind of battle. It was where the priest Ahimelech was doing his legitimate job that David and Doeg visited and that visit led to the cutting short of Elimelech's life alongside that of his family and relatives and their possession in a single day. This is even though he was engaged in God's work or sacred service rather than secular work. Ecclesiastes 10:9 means there is life-threatening risk in all human endeavours anywhere under the sun. Luke 24:19-20 and Acts 10:38-29 say the fact that Jesus spent all His time going about doing good did not stop some from battling Him to death before God raised Him to life after three days. I1 Samuel 7:8-9 and 1 Chronicles 17:7-8 say the journey from humble background to greatness is fraught with enemies (who must be battled and defeated) that require God's intervention to remove the enemies for the journey to be successful. If God had not intervened David would not have completed his victoriously.

Inside Out
My inspiration for writing this book are the men and women whose lives 'happen" within the pages. They are extraordinary people. All have appeared on the Death Or Prison podcast and have given their remarkable, inspiring testimonies of restoration before the camera. Good portions of their lives have been lived behind bars for crimes they committed in an earlier life. Some of the crimes were heinous. Murder, drugs, armed robberies and desperation were once what their lives were driven by and revolved around. Their stories are in many cases overwhelmingly sad until they get to the point in which they detail how their thinking changed, and redemption happened the moment they invited Jesus Christ into their lives. Surprisingly, many during the interviews confessed that they are grateful for being locked up because as they saw it, incarceration was the only way they would have found salvation. These stories have been taken directly from interviews before a camera and transcribed into this book The stories to be theirs, not mine, all to the glory of God.

Ebb and Flow
Two young men get caught up in thoughts of revolution in Germany in 1848. Drawn to safety by a family friend, they learn to recognise the folly of thinking you know what is best for your fellow man and discover a more enlightened way of looking at the world, and at themselves."That is the most harmful pride of the human, that he always thinks he must have an effect on others, teach and train them, meanwhile though nature has given everyone everything to come to maturity. If it continues as it does in our days, then we will arrive in the end at the idea that the human is not in the position to eat and to drink properly if he has not learnt it through history. We live in a time of the most shameful ignorance ... The human needs nothing but himself in order to recognise himself and arrive at wisdom through self-knowledge."

The Blue Sapphire of the Mind
"There are no unsacred places," the poet Wendell Berry has written. "There are only sacred places and desecrated places." What might it mean to behold the world with such depth and feeling that it is no longer possible to imagine it as something separate from ourselves, or to live without regard for its well-being? To understand the work of seeing things as an utterly involving moral and spiritual act? Such questions have long occupied the center of contemplative spiritual traditions. In The Blue Sapphire of the Mind, Douglas E. Christie proposes a distinctively contemplative approach to ecological thought and practice that can help restore our sense of the earth as a sacred place. Drawing on the insights of the early Christian monastics as well as the ecological writings of Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, Annie Dillard, and many others, Christie argues that, at the most basic level, it is the quality of our attention to the natural world that must change if we are to learn how to live in a sustainable relationship with other living organisms and with one another. He notes that in this uniquely challenging historical moment, there is a deep and pervasive hunger for a less fragmented and more integrated way of apprehending and inhabiting the living world--and for a way of responding to the ecological crisis that expresses our deepest moral and spiritual values. Christie explores how the wisdom of ancient and modern contemplative traditions can inspire both an honest reckoning with the destructive patterns of thought and behavior that have contributed so much to our current crisis, and a greater sense of care and responsibility for all living beings. These traditions can help us cultivate the simple, spacious awareness of the enduring beauty and wholeness of the natural world that will be necessary if we are to live with greater purpose and meaning, and with less harm, to our planet.
Mysticism, Magic, and Monasteries
"If the hierarchy spent only half the time on disseminating the mystical and liturgical tradition of the Church that it does on destroying our own liturgical inheritance, it could drag us out of the nihilism of the secular age in the flash of a moment."According to Sebastian Morello, the Church possesses the most potent resources for mystical transformation, with the event of the Incarnation and the outpouring of grace it entailed radically altering the cosmic order. But we would hardly know it today. A leaden blanket of rationalism, materialism, reductionism-all that goes by the name of modernity-has descended over this ancient treasury of divine wisdom, and myopic pastoral programmes which only intensify the despoilment and quashing of the Lord's Kingdom have eclipsed its innate appeal to the searching heart of modern man. In this ambitious and at times unconventional book, Morello proposes a pathway of escape from what he calls the "hex," toward a rediscovery of the Sacred Mystery at the heart of reality.
