Do You Make a Difference? Why Not? John Rodriguez

The book emphasizes the unfailing divine power that exists in every person. It is a collection of short stories that constantly remind us who we are. It reflects the importance of the family and acknowledges the individual contributions of everybody in building a cohesive and harmonious society. The author uses the stories to underscore the natural relationship between the body and spirit; a oneness that invigorates the awakening of our failing spiritual nature. Carelessly we have been programmed to prioritize the need and desires of our physical nature. Hopefully, a reunification of the two would soften the way we see and judge things. By so doing, we would appreciate others and the roles they play in making the world a better, loving place for all humanity. Our spiritual nature has been over powered by greed and the compelling desire to be better than others. Now is the time to redefine our identities by boldly demonstrating the aspiration to suppress our uncontrolled egotisms. The world, whether it is our personal world or the many that surround us daily, is drifting along with many unpleasant faces, because people, the most prized commodity on the planet is still searching for a remedy to coexist peacefully. The author has illustrated repeatedly the importance of the inner spirit to counter the negative influence that has become common knowledge in solving our problems.
