Excerpts

"A Message for the Soul of Man" is intended to get you thinking about your soul. It raises many questions. Who are you really? Why are you here on earth? What is your purpose for living? Why was such an intricate and elaborate mechanism(the body) put together - to ultimately end in dust?In explaining the answers a whole range of questions come up such as who made us and the world around us and why? Do we have a soul? Are there angels? Is there, in fact, a creator of all things who we call God? What is our role as mankind vis-a-vis world stewardship?For answers, we must dwell on God - who God is - God's purpose for all creation which begs the question - "Can anyone really know God?" Many know about God but don't really know Him!This book is about the relationship of God - creation (all) and each individual soul or person.More importantly, knowing your individual relationship with God is the most important question in your short existence on earth - you will be fulfilled and you will know happiness and peace when you, as an individual, learn and fulfill your purpose in life.One major difficulty many will experience in reading this book will be setting aside for the time being strongly held views associated with a religious belief system that you were born into or adopted. Do not despair, it all fits into God's purpose for you and is within each belief system.Hundreds of books exist that talk about the subject matter of this particular book - all are worthy and informative and provide great truths and information all bearing on the main subject - you! This book seeks to provide an even greater understanding of that same material.Reason for writing bookAll I can tell you is that God wants this book written. The reasons that I personally feel are important include much of the following. God wants to raise the awareness of who you really are and, in turn, the awareness of who God is. A clear understanding of yourself and your relationship with God will bring about a huge change in how the people of the world interrelate with each other and their living environment on earth. God wants you to have the 'big picture'!It will help individuals find worth in their own lives (each is unique) and the knowledge that everything they do impacts on the total world as well as all their relations, friends and those dependent on them. This book is written for everyone in the world!Areas of life that would be affected by book's messageReligion:An appreciation of the common thread that joins nearly all religions - belief in God! This is the first tier of all religions based on a single God. Everything that follows whether Christian, Moslem or Jewish is the outcome of God's wishes. Acceptance of our common belief in God should help bring peace, understanding and harmony to our relationships with those of other 'professed' faiths.Youth:One of the greatest problems of youth is coming to know "who you are - your strengths and weaknesses, your talents and shortcomings - your future. Creating a sense of purpose - sufficient to instill a desire to improve on all individual assets and talents - could start a young person on the path of accomplishment and worth. Understanding that God has a purpose for everyone - - the great adventure of life - finding out what God's/your purpose in life is.Mankind:Answering the question we all ask - What is my purpose in life? Why am I on earth? How does an insignificant life become meaning ful? - Understanding or even having a glimpse of God's purpose for mankind on this earth can provide a sense of well-being with self and life. One's individual purpose may become known in one fell swoop or be felt over a long period of time. Stopping a run-away horse from hitting/killing a future prime minister or the work of a dedicated and caring nurse over many years - both have an impact. Knowing that while serving mankind you are also serving God can place your life and existence on earth on a very special level.World:What is the greatest challenge in the world today ( for that matter for all time)? God's first place for Adam & Eve was the garden of Eden. Heaven on earth? a place of abundance, beauty and peace - a place we would all like to have - beauty, peace, tranquility - no cares or wants - heaven?The diversity of man, his differences brought about over time, geography, language, custom, beliefs, commerce and history have brought us to where we are now. As a people, we would like to remove all war, all poverty, all diversity that leads to misunderstandings. We would seek instead world peace, global understanding of each other, the ability, as groups, to come together for the purpose of the common good. This means removal of greed, selfishness, self-agrandisment, covetness from world affairs. The ultimate goal (we hear it at Christmas) - peace on earth and good-will to all men. We would all like to have our Garden of Eden.You:Development of each person to become an asset in this world through the use of their talents and intelligence - serving others - serving mankind unselfishly. In the final analysis, everything that happens to you, affects you - in a special way. You either become the person you were supposed to be or something else. When your life is over, your soul lives on. Your soul embodies everything you have become and this you will find is where you really determine whether you reside in heaven or not. Simply put - your life on earth determines the ultimate destiny of your soul - it is your choice every step of the way. Your future is here - now!The primary purpose of this book is to convey to all mankind a message from God clearly outlining God's purpose for mankind while stressing the necessity of men coming to understand who they really are and the importance of recognizing their own soul and that it (the soul) will exist for eternity. It's a reminder that each person has the destiny of their soul in their own hands. Now what? It's up to you! Your choice! What is your soul's destiny?
