Religion Daily Book Picks: 2 Daily Picks  

"My religion Is very simple. My religion Is kindness." The Dalai Lama.
from... Visionaries...The 20th Century's 100 Most Important Inspirational Leaders...edited by Satish Kumar and Freddie Whitefield

"I say the rosary for one hour every morning because it brings into vivid images some of the high points in the Lord's life and ministry as well as that of his Blessed Mother, It's a real help. Some people think it may be repetitious, and in a sense it is. But it keeps you focused on the mysteries of the Lord, Joyful Mysteries, Sorrowful Mysteries, Glorious Mysteries."

...Joseph Cardinal Bernardin...The Gift Of Peace...

PASCAL'S WAGER...
The seventeenth-century philosopher Blaise Pascal argued that even though God's existence could not be proven by reason one should behave as if He did exist because there was nothing to lose by living in a God-fearing manner--and potentially everything to gain.

"He sought spiritual counsel from his sister Ruth Carter Stapleton, an evangelist. About this time, Carter remembered hearing a sermon entitled, "If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?" He took the challenge to heart. "I never had really committed myself totally to God," he told Bill Moyers in 1976. "My Christian beliefs were superficial. Based primarily on pride and--I'd never done much for other people. I was always thinking about myself, and I changed somewhat for the better. I formed a much more intimate relationship with Christ. And, since then, I've had just about a new life."

Jim,

 I just wanted to thank you again for choosing A Divine Transition as one of your Daily Book Picks. As a new author, you are the first book review site to list the book and I'm very honored. 

Warmest Regards, Patti Harter

 

 Dear Mr. Agnew, I was so honored to see my book on your web site and I just wanted to express my deep gratitude. Right now I am on an extended tour of Canada working with priests and religious educators about reaching out to disenfranchised, at-risk, and high-risk youth. It has also given me the opportunity to speak in many prisons and share a message of hope and personal responsibility.
The money from the book and other outreaches goes to support this ministry we have with incarcerated youth and others. I want to thank you, again, for the support you provided.
If I can ever be of further service, I hope you will let me know.

Humbly, in service;
 Jerry Goebel
