Book Description
This guidebook on secular spirituality will appeal to both religious and nonreligious people. Basing its premises in values—and everyone has values—it offers broad avenues and private paths to achieve sustained, empowering, exalted, and expanding “Soul Celebration” experiences singular for every individual because each person’s value system is exclusively theirs alone. It also offers shorter, simpler “Spiritual Snacks” to provide instantly available, delectable bits of spiritual nourishment for spur-of-the-moment joyful experiences of being uniquely alive in today’s impersonal world. Our essential value center defines our distinctive personhood. This interior core can be activated by external stimuli into experiences of sustained secular spiritual bliss that celebrate our one-and-only inimitable personhood. How? By connecting to and uniting—becoming “One”—with three “other” here-on-earth entities that can stimulate our value center both emotionally and physically: nature, art, and romantically beloved humans. These three alone can open gateways that lead to the highest renewal of the essence—the soul—of Selfhood in a secular manner. By learning to approach the wonders of the physical universe selectively, we can experience a “merging” with chosen aspects of nature and come away with a glorious sense of having participated in eternity. A museum stroll, a novel, and music may turn into exhilarating experiences because art at its best expresses ideas that make manifest—in external, material form—the artists’ values. If they match our own, we may feel elevated to the point of experiencing the art aesthetically and spiritually. Romantic love with its sexual component is the ultimate secular spiritual experience because the most desirable and cherished human being is a living embodiment of our supreme values making this mind-body union the most sacred of all. Plus, happily, along with the three primaries, families and friends are rewarding subcategories for sharing marvelous spiritual-like experiences.

Book Description
The "spritual snacks" in this book are a result of my discovery that spiritual eating habits are similar to physical eating: (1) you read the menu, (2) you order in your own words, (3) you chew, and (4) you digest. This book is set up the same way: (1) read the scripture, (2) in other words, (3) take small bites, and (4) questions and thoughts to aid digestion (understanding). I trust that these snacks will be a springboard to your own spiritual growth, as well as those with whom you come in contact. Some of you will be looking at this book for different reasons. For whatever reason, Spiritual Snacks is in your possession. May the words on these pages bring you to a more meaningful understanding of the joy and victory that comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Book Description
Many people explore beliefs where they are asked to search their inner-self and find the strength within them. There are others who try to search for the meaning of life by doing good works to achieve salvation. The answer is all within the 66 books of the Bible. Some are overwhelmed by the number of pages and become very wary of reading it. The author's goal is to walk you through the Bible and give you a layman's view of its contents. The meaning of the Bible seems confusing. This book will bring all this confusion back to the basics, and add humor along the way. It's a fun story line that is simple to read and shows that the meaning of life has been consistent and simple throughout man's existence from Adam until the present day. "Spiritual Snacks" is designed to whet your appetite and encourage you to read and study the Word of God for yourself and discover the awesome way God will speak to you personally through His word. It will eliminate your fear of approaching God on a personal level and lead you to understand God's love for you and His desire for fellowship with you.

Book Description
Inspired by the Holy Spirit and the Catholic devotional called "Imitation of Christ". Just like the "Imitation of Christ" the "one liners" are perfect for "snacking on" and provide thoughts for tweeting. When the one liner opens doors for further thought spiritual meals or maybe even grocery stores have been suggested for individuals and/or groups. An attitude of gratitude helps us to recognize our full potential in God's very large everyday Kingdom.
