Shakespeare asked the most famous question of all... "To Be or Not To Be?"
This book is written from nearly forty years of vision and revelation, which led the author to find the truth that lies beyond the shadow of any doubt in our own mind, where there is no question, only knowing.

 Nearly 400 years ago, Descartes reasoned, "I think, therefore I am." However, the amazing thing about the human mind is that it is able to question our existence at all.

Who am I? What am I?
Where do I belong?
To Be or Not To Be?

The absolute truth, is the answer that lies beyond the shadow of a doubt in your own mind, where there is no question.

This little book is a compilation of visions and revelations over a span of forty years.

Its purpose, is to be a 'little light' reading. To encourage and inspire you to seek out the undiscovered realm that lies beyond your wildest imagination. That Image-Nation of Eternal Love, the Kingdom of God.

Shakespeare's famous speech from Hamlet, To Be or Not To Be, is the sub-theme of this book and is included herein.



     



Excerpt

We walked along the mountain road under a full moon. The sky had patches of thin cloud and there was an occasional drizzle. It was quite cold, but we talked of spiritual matters as we walked and the night lent a supernatural atmosphere to our conversation and imagination.


After about half an hour, the road wound around to the right and just ahead in the distance we saw a track that ran off to the left. It was quite overgrown and seemed as if it had not been used in some time. Andrew said, "I feel that God’s telling me to go down here," indicating the track. I wasn't sure, as it was the middle of the night and we were in mountain country. However, I trusted him.


After walking about a hundred metres along the track, with damp grass up to our knees, we suddenly came upon a clearing with an old timber house in the middle of it. We walked up the steps to the front door and peeked in through the windows. The house appeared to have been vacant for some time, as we could not see any furniture and the rooms appeared very dusty.


Andrew tried the handle and to our surprise it was unlocked, so we went in. As we walked through the house, it was obvious that no-one had been there for some time. There was a heavy layer of dust on everything and cobwebs in all the corners. I started looking through the kitchen cupboards while Andrew continued toward the back of the house. I found nothing in the cupboards and as I started to leave the kitchen Andrew called out, "Hey, come and look at this, you’re not going to believe it!"


I walked quickly along the hallway to the room where he was and he was right, it was difficult to believe what we saw. There, in this very dusty, cobweb-ridden, vacant house was a bedroom that was not only completely free of dust and cobwebs, it was also furnished with two single beds that were perfectly made with fresh, crisp, clean sheets and pillows. On the bedside table between the beds, stood a candle that had never been lit and a brand new, unopened box of matches.


It made our spines tingle and we couldn't sleep, spending the rest of the night reading and discussing scriptures from Andrew’s bible by candlelight, until the first light of dawn.

Stories, Visions and Experiences
Carl shares his journey of experiences with God, and he shares them with a purpose. To use his own words, he says:

"It is my hope that you will open up your imagination and not be afraid to journey beyond your own mind to find God." ("For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. Isaiah. 55:8.)

Most of Carl's experiences include some powerful visions. Now many Christians may hear the word "visions" and say - "Mmm and how do I know that this is really God"? -

A very valid question. Jesus Himself gave us the answer, and very clearly.

John 16:13-14 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, FOR he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. HE WILL GLORIFY ME (Jesus), for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. (English Standard Version - emphasis is mine).

Any spiritual experience that is from the One True God will glorify Jesus - as simple as that. Carl's visions all do lead to Jesus.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review and after reading it (twice) I found it challenging and inspiring. I trust and pray that it will challenge and inspire you too to seek to know God more. I highly recommend it.


Inspirational
I found the book to be easy to read and very inspirational. If you are wondering if God (Jesus) is real and alive and cares for your needs, this book will inspire you to open up your heart to the lover of your soul, Jesus. Amazing stories of Jesus being there when he was needed the most and showing you how real the Spiritual realm really is. What you see here on Earth is not the only thing you can get!!! A good read for people who want more out of life. I only gave it four stars because I wanted the book to keep going and read some more...

LaGina
This book was a refreshing and very good read. I loved the little stories of faith that the author shares with us. The cabin one really gave me the chills but then I had to smile and think what an awesome God!! I am so glad I read this book.
