Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We don't ponder anymore. There is no time. We have our day mapped out on the blackberry and we cannot deviate or the whole schedule will go to hell in a hand basket. We need to ponder. Ponder why your congressman and senator is an elitist that you cannot get to talk to unless it is election time and he wants to talk to you and all your friends. Ponder why the congressman and senator are your employee and you cannot get to see or talk to them. I have pondered these and many other things and have concluded that one person cannot solve the problems of our society and our world. The solution lies within the grasp of the populace. The populace can solve a problem simply by recognizing that it is a problem. Once it is recognized the search will begin. Many will come forth with potential solutions. The populace will decide which solution is best. The best solutions will be determined by common sense. I have tried to make common sense a part of my life. I think that many people have relied on others to make decisions for them. It hasn't worked out too well in my opinion, and I think it is time that we began to look at our problems and demand solutions from ourselves and others. Politicians and the media are failing us, and we are mistaken to relinquish the power of decision to them. I hope that you will enjoy this book and that you will ponder the meaning of my writing.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is written in the format that Donald W. French uses of letting the Bible speak for itself. This style of writing is much more unique than it should be in a country where a majority of the population claims to believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. It is the author's hope that this book will encourage others to study the Bible, not only to better understand the Holy Spirit of God, but to help encourage a manner of humbly reading the Bible in order to come to the understanding that God intended when He inspired the writing of the verses of the Bible. The author firmly believes that this is the only way that there can ever be unity in the religious world, unity, not in diversity, but in actuality. …

Quotes from ReadersWhile reading Harold's remarkable- Opium Eaters- which happens to be the final novel to the three part saga (One Way to Pakistan, Oath of Vengeance and Opium Eaters), I was quite taken by his depth of knowledge of Muslim Culture. In fact in the third novel Opium Eaters Harold showed how opium provides funds for the Taliban's war against America and their imposition of democracy on Afghanistan. It reveals the frustrations of the Americans who are unable to destroy the opium smuggling from the root source- the tribal areas of Afghanistan to the Ports of Pakistan.'His books.a marvelous read.show us a world we generally get to read about but rarely are a part of.'Deepti Lamba, editor for Desicritics, Things that Bang.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hi, This book is about spiritual growth and not about spiritual enlightenment. One has to be spiritually enlightened before one can begin one's spiritual growth. Spiritual growth is eternal. Spiritual enlightenment suggests that spiritual growth is complete. On the contrary, spiritual enlightenment is the genesis of spiritual growth. Spiritual enlightenment is when one has travelled the spiritual path and returned to God. Spiritual enlightenment Buddha experienced is an awareness which frees a person from the cycle of rebirth. What this means is that; one becomes aware why one repeats one's mistakes in life, and remain in one spot until one's spirit rots with the body. With this awareness one can step out of the cycle and begin one's eternal growth. Rebirth is (born again) in Christian language. Spiritual growth is living life with an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of one's true self and destiny; to know and grow with God. Living conscientiously. Like in Three Days, in Another Day; we give you more from our experiences, observations, conversations, and conclusions, regarding: Life, Love, or God. May the Great Spirit be with you, RoandMoMatter is that which exists in the universe in all forms, that is visible and invisible. Life is matter that which is conscious, and exists in the universe. Man is matter that which is conscious with a conscience, and exists in the universe. Immortality is not matter, but a conscience that which is conscientious, and exists in the universe and beyond.…
