Books

I was guided to writing what I originally thought was going to be a single book, my spiritual autobiography, “God Is.” The guidance came from The Creator, channeled through three of my closest friends (Fr. M, Mark and Don), friends whose opinions I highly valued. Over a period of about a week I shared with each of them individually, during a spiritual conversation we were engaged in, examples of The Divine Presence, over the course of my life, working in my life for my betterment. Basically, each of my friends gave me the same feedback, “you need to publish these stories so others can benefit from them.” So I embarked on the task of writing my spiritual autobiography. It took me a number of false starts to find my voice but once I did the book flowed from me.

In the first version of “God Is” I had a large chapter on the 12 Steps. The 12 Steps are a significant part of my story. When another friend, Lauren, and my wife, Lin, read the initial version of the book they both recommended that I not include the 12 Step chapter; that including it changed the whole tone of the book. I agreed with their assessment. When I shared that input with Don he was adamant that I needed to write another book, one on the 12 Steps. Knowing The Creator’s guidance when I hear it, I agreed to write a second book, “God Realization.”

During a proofing/reading of the manuscript for “God Is,” specifically the sub-chapter “Maulana and My Heart,” it became clear to me that I had to write a third book, “God Heals.” Thus, “The God Trilogy” was born. While I was engaged in yet another proofing/reading I was inspired to add a fourth volume to “The God Trilogy,” a daily meditation book titled “God Speaks.” All four volumes of “The God Trilogy” will be able to be purchased as eBooks from the store on this web site. The purchase of a physical copy of the books will be linked from this web site.
