The Truth Collector
Being Transformed
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
This book intertwines two themes throughout, like two chains. One chain is the author's lifetime collection of truths in short wise sayings. Each is like a link in this first chain. And the second chain is a collection of incidents from the life of the author and his family that illustrate the truths found in the links of this first chain. Each chapter builds on the preceding one, to rise to a deeper understanding of transformation, which is the basic content of this book. Transformation is a higher level of thinking and living that is beyond life's consolations and desolations. The two chains don't dangle in space, but move in escalation to a concluding summary, which is the final chapter and its postscript. This book doesn't just bring you to new landscapes, but it gives you new eyes. This book makes you feel that for the second time in history you have discovered fire. And you have found it in love's fire. Your mind feels stretched, so that you no longer just feel, but you, also, feel alive. You feel like planting another year instead of burying one. In using language charged with meaning to the utmost degree, the author keeps awakening something in your heart that is beyond knowledge, and he proves that a loving heart is the truest wisdom. And that you can only live your life for love. You will love the light showing you the way, and you will endure the darkness, which will show you the stars. On some level you will be healed and transformed by your contact in this book with truth, love, goodness, beauty, wisdom, wonder and humor. In short, with all of the values, virtues, ideals and principles. God can make something healing out of mold (penicillin), and, therefore, God can make something healing out of our existence.

About the Book
The basic content of this book is transformation, which has taken me a lifetime to learn. There is more to life than just joy or sorrow, health or sickness, consolation or desolation, because, as I have found, there is also a higher level of thinking and living called transformation. What I've learned all my life about love may help you to learn about it sooner, rather than later. Such early learning is always to your benefit, because, as an old German expression points out: "We grow old too soon and smart too late." Since love is not love until it is given away, my love has compelled me to write this book. In reading it, as a bare minimum, you will be spiritually refreshed, but I truly believe that you too will be transformed. Each of us has a mind that seeks truth, a heart that seeks love, and a spirit that seeks goodness and God. If you were to categorize this book, you would have to say that it is in a category all its own, because it's primarily transformational in addition to being inspirational, autobiographical, motivational, instructional, philosophical, spiritual and explorational. It explores the truth that life is not measured in moments of time, but in timeless moments. And we know that truth exists, otherwise we would never be able to ask any questions. It also explores love as the loudest sound on the other side of silence. Love, not violence, is at the heart of the universe, and we should not let violence determine our future, but only let love do that. It also explores goodness in that it is unreasonable to think that a person who can be good would be put into a crazy, empty world in which there is no such thing as goodness.
