This book is about how the living soul can attain eternal peace and hence eternal life, as a living soul would yield it when abiding in the Lord Jesus Christ. Tapping the Lord’s Prayer as the authorized spiritual vehicle for communicating with God, this book attests that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation, the seal of salvation, and the bearing point for overcoming the world.

By showing the intrinsic relationship between the invisible and the manifested world, the heavenly and the earthly, this book lucidly defines why the soul should glorify God as the end of life’s purpose while seeking righteousness and fulfilling the commandments.

By presenting groundbreaking revelations about the spiritual realm and hence the living God through the spiritual compass, this book would help the reader to discern wisdom about how to worship the Lord in truth and spirit to see a glimpse of eternal life and enjoy eternal peace, not as the world offers it but as the Lord Jesus confers it on the living soul.

Gps for America: Toward “Building a More Perfect Union” by Abel Gashe

“The American Union is imperfect. But it is certainly motioning towards a more perfect union.” It is this foundational thesis in the fulfillment of the American vision that this book focuses on. By affording an integrated and holistic approach, the book shows that the American dynamics is transformational living phenomenon framed on four major paradigms: that America is a land of freedom; that America is a land of opportunity; that America is impregnated with inertia within it that propels it to “repair its faults”; and that the nation has been moving to a higher ground in its motion with a concerted effort of its people as one (E pluribus Unum) to build a more perfect Union.

A pragmatic but positive outlook on the American reality in the bountiful land by a first generation immigrant from Gojjam, Ethiopia, the author tries to help the reader develop a generic framework in understanding the evolving American reality since the founders took the bold step in 1776 to write an audacious proposal that “all men are created equal,” endowed by the creator with “inalienable rights.” The analysis in the book begins by framing the constitutional bases of the nation as a four dimensional compass. Using what he terms as the American GPS, he leads the reader to have a snapshot on the structure of American government, citizenship, church and state, legal, economic, political and foreign policy issues to show that in fact what is manifesting in the American socio-political topology is not a random act but an in-built, systemic transfiguration in creating the opportunity for all children of Adam to realize their God given inalienable rights, being Geezans (freely roaming citizens of the universe) in fulfilling the vision of the nation.

After reading this book, the reader will never waste time in random thoughts about the ever-unfolding American reality. By all accounts, America is an emergent and noble idea whose better days are yet to come. That is the projection whose totality can be meaningfully captured through a living compass: The American GPS!
