Awake R Joseph Owles

Some disciples recognized Christ when He broke the bread. Some disciples recognized Christ when He provided fish. But Thomas... Thomas recognized Christ by the wounds. AWAKE AWAKE is a collection of writing, some in verse, some in prose, which look at the world in a new way. It continues on with the theme begun in A SONG TO MY SOUL which asserts that Life is a mystical experience; we just do not notice it because we are used to it. The material in this book is centered on the Mystical Mundane and the Sacred Ordinary. It is a reminder of just how mystical and magical every day in this world is. It seeks to glimpse the religion beyond religion in a world that often confuses the lamp for the light. In a thought-provoking and poetic way, the author touches upon a variety of topics, including:
God created a universe just to have a relationship with youThe nature of God is to be love and to be relationalCreation is the arena where this relationship is fostered and growsEverything put on earth is designed to help you with your relationship with GodYou are ALWAYS on God's mind
