It is about people who lived long before Christianity began. The author believes that we don&#8217;t take our beliefs with us when we leave here; we take the love we found from having them.<\/p>\n<p>Each chapter focuses on the growth of a particular person and each chapter is complete within itself with a specific theme. The end of each chapter has a work sheet with questions designed to bring the ideas from the book into the reader&#8217;s everyday life in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n<p>This book is an excellent way to learn spiritual principles. It brings out in easy to understand language the main points on the path of spiritual growth. I highly recommend reading and rereading this book, completing the work sheets and walking through the illusion into enlightenment.<\/p>\n<p style='text-align:left'>&copy; 2010 &#8211; 2019, <a href='https:\/\/aleroy.com\/blog'>Lekatt<\/a>.
