In Reflections on Life, the author shares a journey, a very personal journey, that includes his struggle with addressing two provocative questions once lifted in prayer by St. Francis of Assisi: Who are you, oh God, and who am I? The reader will discover how the authors journey transformed him from a nonpracticing, nominal Christian to a committed follower of Christ whose faith grows stronger with each new day. This book is divided into two sections, each of which provides revealing insights on how the author ultimately found answers to the essential questions posed by St. Francis centuries ago.
Section 1 (Who Am I?) offers a biographical background that focuses on both who and what helped the author deal with life's challenges and influenced him to develop a firmly grounded belief system. This belief system evolved from an I know all the answers and need no one perspective to one that acknowledged I do not have all the answers and am dependent on others to solve life's inevitable problems.
Section 2 (Living a Christian Life is Not Easy: Spiritual Journey) focuses on the authors spiritual journey and how one must learn to give up some of their secular ways. Changing secular ways requires both a willingness to change and hard work. One must learn to forgive oneself and others, stop being judgmental, realize that it is not about them, and put God first in everything and know that God is always with them. This section shares the authors plan and model for success.
Our life journeys provide countless challenges and endless opportunities. How we respond to what life brings our way will in large measure determine our ability to be successful in dealing with what we experience. May all who read Reflections on Life find something that supports them with their journey through this life.
