You will very quickly feel that you know her, and will be richer for the knowledge. </span></p><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;height:auto;"><div>She comes to Israel, seeking meaning and purpose for her life, following breast cancer and the demise of her long-standing marriage. There, God claims her and lays a trail of miracles that lead her from her native England to a new husband of faith in Atlantic Canada. <br />Though she is upfront about her ending, you’ll find yourself longing to learn the next step in her discovery of new love and deeper faith journey. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. Potentially, you’ll be following the twists and turns of her journey into the wee small hours. <br />‘A mysterious rug with a life-changing message, a Ruth-type love story, fascinating interactions with other believers, poetic descriptions of landscapes many native Canadians take for granted—and a message of God’s love and salvation,’ writes critic Margaret Welwood. ‘Bobbie Ann Cole’s story is a little too strange and untidy to be fiction. As a true story, it will leave you satisfied, yet wanting to know more.’ <br />‘Often times, life will take us to the end of our rope, leaving us helpless and at our wit’s end. Yet, even in such dire situations, our God is not helpless. He will bring in plentiful harvest – a harvest of renewal, hope, joy and happiness in our life,’ says Khamneithang Vaiphei. ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow is an incredible testimony that will have a profound impact on you.’ <br />If mystery, romance, women’s faith issues, the Jewish roots of Christianity, Christian living or outreach appeal to you, you will find much to enjoy.</div><div> </div></div>
Since I was an adolescent, after reading Autobiography of a Yogi, I always wanted to become an enlightened being. I wanted to study parapsychology and understand what we really are as human beings from an energetic or spiritual perspective. I settled for Neurology and becoming a medical doctor because my ego felt safer doing so. The more I learned about my ego versus my higher self, the more I recognized my need to change. This book chronicles some of the changes I've been through that I believe everyone can relate to. It also provides many practical ways to enhance one's life.
<p>This book broke new ground for me: first in its format, then with its ideas. I took the idea of the title (addicted to ego) as a humorous take on being self-centered, but the author makes a very convincing case that not only is ego addiction a ‘real’ thing (as real as depression, anxiety or bipolar disorder), it is extremely prevalent and actually a root cause for other problems, illnesses and addictions. Also, like addiction, it can be effectively treated.<br /> The author begins with his life story, which clearly presents where his ego identity was created, and where his false beliefs formed. He shares how his false beliefs effected his life in ways that made it easy to evaluate myself and my life events from a different point of view. Then, the book reframes self-identity and uses a fascinating inner dialogue between the filtered self (with all its ego addiction issues and flawed beliefs) and the unfiltered self (who we really are, without all the baggage and insecurities) to show a path to removing the addictive grasp of the ego. As a result, you can discover your more authentic self and get relief from the ego addiction cycle (I didn’t know how badly addicted to my ego I am!).<br /> I believe the concepts in the book will be extremely helpful for me, and hope for more work from this author. And, for what it’s worth, the author’s ‘voice’ sounds nothing like the cover illustration looks! His voice is very humble, conversational and at times very funny. Highly recommended.</p>
