From the Author:
This is a book of 201 inspiring essays, quotations, and eleven insightful essays. "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." R.W. Emerson. I think that one thing that is very important in life is the search for truth and wisdom. Finding it in a book such as Glimpses of Heaven on Earth is a way to get it in small portions chunks that add up to big ideas. "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." Dalai Lama. This book is needed now because there is so much pessimism in the world, so much bad news. Heaven on Earth is a big thing, but it's going to be full of little things and there are no bit parts in Heaven on Earth. Everybody has a part. "It is not only what we do, but what we do not do, for which we are accountable." Moliere. I believe that God made each of us and all of us with a mind body and a little piece of God and because of that, he loves us with an enduring steadfast love. He predetermined for us to have a Heaven on Earth someday somehow. - John Wade II
I'm very proud of our book, Glimpses of Heaven on Earth, which is filled with dozens of inspirational quotations and commentary on many topics of interest to all of us. I know there is a craving for a better world around us--in our own lives and for the better good of all of humanity. This book truly answers that need for inspiration, the need to feel optimistic, the need to know that we can and will do better. Vaclav Havel, a former president of the Czech Republic, said, "Only a new spiritual vision--cosmic in its dimension and global in scope--can rescue civilization." I believe we should all be a part of this new spiritual vision! One of my favorite quotes in this book is by Alex Noble: "If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day." There are some quotes that I think really sum up the book and the main concept of heaven on earth, including this quote by Mahatma Gandhi, "Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment." I truly hope you feel inspired and I encourage you to purchase Glimpses of Heaven on Earth. t would make a wonderful gift for yourself, your family members, loved ones, friends, and anyone needing encouragement and inspiration. - Charlotte L. Piotrowski
