On Living and Dying [Paperback] Review

Once in a while, a book comes along that causes radical changes in your approach to the important life issues.This is one of those books.A friend gave me a copy ten years ago, which I read while on retreat at the Abbey of Gethsemani.As a traditional Christian, I found the straight-forward approach uncomfortable and a little threatening, especially because it challenged many of my "factual" truths.No problem, my beliefs can handle it, right?Wrong!I couldn't shake the feeling that Krishnamurti's ideas needed to be examined again without the baggage of pre-conceived notions.I've recently re-read the book, and while I'm still struggling with the material, I find that much of what he reveals MUST be taken seriously.It's also interesting that now I find his teachings are not inconsistent with those of Jesus (although they are at odds of much of what the church teaches).He talks about "dying" to everything, Jesus talks about selling all you have and following him.He talks about life, death, truth and love being here now, Jesus talks about the kingdom of heaven being at hand. Etc., etc.Be ready for "in-your-face" directness, but also be ready for troubling. but awesome material.

Morning Has Been All Night Coming (Paperback) Review

John Harricharan's books are extremely enjoyable for all readers.John writes in simple language about what might be the most important question for all of us...Is life over when we die? Having lost a love one, I have searched this question often. Being a very analytical person, I needed a practical answer.John's stories provide not only an explanation but also forces the readers to do more "soul" searching on their own to find answers to not only this question but to many of the questions we have.
Readers will find it difficult to put John's books down.

Product Description:
When the road seems long and dark...A message of strength and renewal for us all.
The light of hope vanished in John when his wife died, leaving him with two children to raise and the rest of his life to rethink. Surrounded by a haze of emptiness and futility, he could only dimly recall the joys of his former existenceand the strange, miraculous encounters he had once had with a wise "businessman" named Gideon.
Then the light reappeared as Gideon returned, introducing john to magical new worlds of inner peace, understanding and love. Slowly, and almost despite himself, John felt his grief turning to hope, his despair to trimuph, and his worries to a playful curiosity about what lay ahead.
In this intimate story of loss, devastation and rebirth, John Harricharan mystically blends personal experience with parable to reawaken the infinite beauty, compassion and power, which exist within us all.
