UPDATE: Read “A Message From God” Online!

A-Message-From-God-CoverI don’t know what took me so long to figure out that there was a better way to enable people to read the text of “A Message From God.” But at least I’ve figured it out and now, reading online it is easier than ever before.

Grab your mouse for a second. Scroll up there toward the top where it says, “Read it NOW.” Go ahead, I’ll wait. You’ll see a pop-down menu — one item for each chapter of the book, starting with “About Me” and ending with “A Breather.” Click on any one of them and you’ll jump straight to the chapter of your choice. I hope this works out better a few different ways:

  • No more scrolling through the PDF to find what interests you.
  • Each page has its own URL, so it’s linkable (hint, hint).
  • Each page has that neat string of social networking icons at the bottom, so if you’re reading “How To Inspire Others” and would like to Tweet, Facebook, Digg, or MySpace just that chapter, by all means, go for it.
  • At the bottom of each page are links to both the previous chapter and next chapter. So, if you choose, you can easily follow the intended order of the book.
  • Each chapter has a comments section at the bottom. These will be screened, but if something you read sparks a dialogue, well, that’s the whole point.

For the record, you can still view the PDF document on Scribd. And of course, we can email you a free PDF of the eBook that you can print and bind should you ever want to . . .  gasp . . . NOT look at a computer screen!

Thanks for your support of this project. It continues to grow and touch lives around the world — people from all different ages, ethnic, social and religious backgrounds. If something you find on this site inspires you, chances are it can do the same for someone else, so by all means, share.

Thanks and peace be with you!

A Multifaith Conversation (Conclusion)

Washington-based journalist Imran Siddiqui leads a panel including a Muslim, Jew, Christian, Hindu and Unitarian in an open dialogue about faith.
Washington-based journalist Imran Siddiqui leads a panel including a Muslim, Jew, Christian, Hindu and Unitarian in an open dialogue about faith.

As The Author says in “A Message From God” in the chapter entitled “Which Religion? Which Holy Book?”, religion is best used as a tool to develop a relationship with God. Furthermore, just as it would be counterproductive to use a single tool to build a house, it can also be counterproductive to study a single religion to develop a relationship with God. There are things that Christians can learn from Muslims, things Muslims can learn from Jews, and things all three can learn from Hindus.

Thus, we conclude the 5-part video series: Beyond The Headlines: An Interfaith Dialogue at American University, hosted by a new friend, multimedia journalist Imran Siddiqui (check out his site: www.globalcrossover.com). I simply love the idea of bringing together a Jew, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian and a Unitarian. The objective is simple: looking for a common ground.

In the conclusion:  The panel promotes having an open minded approach to other religions, and explores the impact of continuing conflicts on future generations.
