Need to figure this out

This is a book about God — a collection of stories, compiled by an engineer, written by people who have met Him and found that it changed their lives. The accounts are gentle, positive, joyful, comforting, and full of lovingkindness. They show us that God is truly our divine parent who loves us and cares for us.

"What a wonderful gift this book is! The stories shared within its covers are truly inspirational, miraculous and joyous! Many thanks." Karen Greguras, College English Instructor

"Reading this book proved to me that a living, loving God is in and all around us! I read it every night for the consolation and assurance it gives me!" Barbara Naylor, Homemaker

"I want the world to know: This is a book to have, to read, to share. I cried upon reading some pages, I was too intrigued to stop reading the other pages. The personal accounts from different people made me feel connected to their stories on a level I haven't encountered yet myself." Kim Losurdo, Human Resources Rep

"What a wonderfully comforting book! The stories show that God is not remote from us. He is truly here with us, aware of our needs and guiding us with love and kindness." Kathy Martin, Medical Assistant

"The personal accounts in this book will touch hearts, provide inspiration, and amaze. The stories illustrate, in a variety of wonderful ways, the transpersonal connection we have to the Divine. This book is a 'must read' for those who want to be reminded of the miracles that can take place in everyday life." Irene Blinston, Ph.D.

"This is the most heartwarming book I've ever worked on. It reminds me once again that God's lovingkindness is always with us." Phyllis Butler Author/Editor

This is a book about God — a collection of stories written by people who have met Him and found that it changed their lives. God appeared to some of us in the guise of a person. Others heard a voice. Still others experienced God as a source of intense light or feelings which caused an instantaneous and permanent change in values and behavior.

The common theme in these stories is that of God’s kindness and His care for us. The accounts are gentle, positive, joyful, comforting, and full of kindness, and show us that this infinite God of ours is truly our divine parent, a parent that loves us, cares for us, and has a relationship with us. He provides guidance during times of personal crisis; He provides comfort to the grieving; He provides a sense of God to people who are not even seeking it.

These experiences appear unsought; they cannot be made to appear or reappear; and the memory remains throughout life. The feeling most often experienced is love. It is not a sentimental love as is used in everyday language; it is an overwhelming love; an intense and powerful love; a total, unconditional love.

I believe these accounts can give us an insight into God, following Mark Twain:

“If you want to know the character of a man you’ve never met, ask someone who has.”
