@Gaer, I have begun reading your incredible book "Angels Explain God..." and couldn't put it down! It resonated with me, and there were so many truths in it (from my past readings, my religion, and my own spirituality). So many passages speak to me. For example, "If thoughts of goodness fill the mind, this will bring goodness into the life" (p. 68).
"Adverse occurrences will happen in life. Pay close attention to the ways to respond. You can make a situation worse or enhance the moment through your response. Choose to make the moment better. Lift yourself out of the nucleus of the situation physically, mentally, and emotionally" (p.80).
I spoke to my mom about some of the passages I read, and she agreed with many of the things said in the book. There are also some thoughts/passages that are new to me, but I have an open mind. Will continue to read for a long time.
Thank you!
