Stepping Stones to God

This book will never grace the best seller list of the New York Times. It lacks most of the elements required to thrill the reader. There is a protagonist with no crisis to face and no plot to accomplish. Instead you will find a man who has found his peace with God, and endeavors only to guide those who cross his path in their quest for truth. The author wishes only to instill within the reader the truth that beyond the humdrum chaos of everyday life there is a place where all are welcomed, and the satisfaction of being is realized. The author attacks the bastions of organized religion in a gentle way, by bringing enlightenment to those who are ready for a journey independent of its dogma. A journey which leaves them in the world but no longer of it. When it comes time to leave this veil of tears, the vision of the grim reaper is dispelled with the promise of stepping forth into the light of a higher understanding of the purpose for being. And once this book is laid aside, and tucked away on the bookshelf, the elements of the intent of these passages will linger like springtime buds ready to blossom forth at that instant when most required. In this age of technological advances which sometimes boggle the mind, it is hoped that the simplicity of this book will bring solace to those who require nothing more than a gentle touch of assurance that all is well in spite of the turmoil in the world about us.
