A Little Book of Meditations

About the Book

We are now getting old. Recently, we closed our office, and in an old storage cabinet found notebooks filled with handwritten notes recording our mediations from a time over thirty years ago. These meditations are based on advice given to us by our numerous spiritual advisers from that period. Even now we still can remember many of these meditations while reading our handwritten notes. We commend these meditations to you. Each meditation contains its own unique starburst of insight. May these meditations bring to you the same joy and enlightenment they have brought to us. Only the advice they gave us and the retellings of our spiritual adviser’s own encounters with God are worthy of repeating. Each meditation is given its own page (or pages) and a number (1 to 36) for easy access. Each meditation is independent in its own right and is not directly related to any of the other meditations.
