Book Description
9 Days To Heaven (a timely journey into the soul) is the antidote to today s epidemic of fear and confusion, and the rarest of books in the Christian marketplace as, although firmly rooted in the Bible, it eschews the use of theological jargon which is sometimes a barrier. Its simplicity makes it accessible to those who, through the smokescreen of disappointment or unfamiliarity, would not otherwise draw close to God s healing presence. These include: * The great number of people who are not spiritually developed enough to cope with life s inevitable challenges * Youths and young adults who naturally have little experience of God * Those that have no experience of God. Based on Revelation 3:20 Behold I stand at the door and knock… it answers the burning life question: What s it all about? Illustrations and everyday items, such as a stone or herbs, transport the reader into the realms of the Divine. There, in nine refreshing 15 minute personal-growth-steps issues, such as despair and panic, trampled dreams and low self-esteem, are addressed in dialogue with God. Through this intimate connection the reader glimpses heaven and tastes immortality. Walking thus, hand in hand with God daily, they are empowered to fulfil their destiny!
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘These refreshing meditations stimulate Christians to explore spirituality. They will help many to practice the presence of God.’ –Rob Frost, Share Jesus International
9 Days to Heaven, How To Make Everlasting Meaning Of Your Life is such a wonderfully simple yet powerful way to reach what monks and mystics have sought for centuries: a deep, one-on-one communion with God. Ms. O’Driscoll’s use of everyday items connects us with the Divine through the natural world in a way that can’t help but touch readers on many levels. It’s the best of many traditions used in a thoroughly Christian way. –John Backman, dialogueventure.com 6th February 2010
The book is simply written, using easy to understand language. This is for anyone seeking to discover a way to a profound understanding and connection with God. –Sarah Connor, Eternal Spirit Magazine
From the Author
I truly believe that this beautifully illustrated (thanks to artist Toni Ndikanwu) book will change your life for the better. And that after doing the programme you will never look at the world or anything in it in quite the same way again. Thats the feedback Ive had. And I feel that way myself since writing it.
9 Days to Heaven helps you reach for the stars. And opens your eyes to the beauty and love that is all around you each and every day. It makes you feel so good about yourself and your own abilities that you will never want to live in any other way.
I look forward to your comments and hope to meet you one day soon. Kind Regards Teresa ODriscoll
