A Back Cover without the Author’s picture
While it is very common to find an author’s photograph on the back jacket of a book, I discovered this was not meant to be in my case. I was guided through a very simple experience to follow God’s will. I had initially planned to use my photo, and a niece had sent this particular photo to me as an email attachment. I made several attempts to open the file at
different times and on different days. The attachment simply could
not be opened. I reasoned that there must be an explanation for this.
Almost immediately a thought came: God does not want me to have a photo of my physical self on the book’. This thought was quickly followed by another: Now that you know the reason for this, the attachment will open up for you’. Sure enough, I was able to open it instantly.
Back Cover Picture
After I finished reviewing the final proof of the book I asked God, “If people ask me why I do not have my picture on the book what will I reply? God said, “You have the most beautiful picture of your inner Self on the title page of your book. Why would you want to have a physical picture on the book when you know it is an illusion for you?” – meaning that the physical appearance is simply an illusion of who we truly are. I laughed and said, “Why did I not I think of that?” God added that this artistic depiction is representative of the beauty of all human souls walking on earth – a snapshot of the inner Self, if you will. I thanked God for yet another poignant revelation.
