The Books and How To Read Them

All over the world, people are buying Sounds of the Trumpet and God is All. Both books are having an uptick in sales. To piggyback on this wonderful activity, I decided to write this post on how to get the most out of these books. Although I think it’s a great idea to read each book from cover to cover, your busy schedule may not permit that. So, below are my suggestions for the must-reads from both books.

God Is All

I know that you want your prayers to be effective – to yield practical results. Perhaps you, like many others, have tried many ways of praying and none of them “worked.” God is All can, I assure you, help you to pray more effectively.

Because this book is a short read, the temptation is to start with Chapter 1 and read to the end. Don’t do it. I suggest that you start with Chapter 3: Conscious Awareness. This chapter is the foundation for an effective spiritual practice, and it addresses most of your prayer questions, such as:

  • What is prayer?
  • How to pray?
  • How to pray when you have so many things to pray about?
  • What constitutes effective prayer?

After you’ve read Chapter 3, go back to Chapter 1. The order in which you read the remaining chapters is up to you.

Sounds of the Trumpet

This is a longer book with shorter chapters. If I renamed this book, the title would be Spirituality Made Practical. Many of the 30-plus chapters address issues you face in daily life. Each chapter is great and has its own merit. However, for your convenience I made a list below of must-read chapters.

Spiritual Living Day By Day

This is the first chapter of Sounds of the Trumpet. It is a basic primer on living Truth principles every waking hour. The Holy Bible states, “Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.” This chapter gives you tips on how to do that.

David And Goliath (1 and 2)

These two chapters reveal a spiritual approach to resolving any problem. The magnitude of the problem does not matter.

Rebuilding The Immune System

For the last few years, immunity has been a hot topic. From herbal concoctions to questionable shots, people are trying to stay disease-free. This chapter deals with total immunity – from disaster as well as disease.

Heavenly Bliss

How do you effectively restore a fractured or broken relationship? What is the key to trouble-free relationships? This chapter gives a failproof answer to these questions.

Thomas

This disciple doubted that Christ rose from the dead and demanded proof. Now he is known as “Doubting Thomas.”  This chapter reveals that the Thomas mindset can be a good thing. It can make the difference between merely reading Truth and seeing the visible evidence of Truth.

The Temple Of God

This chapter is about your Body. And what a wonderful Body it is! Yes, this chapter deals with the real nature of your Body as a spiritual presence.

CONCLUSION

Whichever book and chapters you read, remember this: THESE BOOKS ARE TO BE LIVED AND NOT MERELY READ.
