Book Overview
AMAZON BESTSELLER and HOT NEW RELEASE! Two young men leave their families and businesses to walk the dusty roads of ancient times with hopes of excitement and adventure. An ordinary nineteen-year-old man, Daniyyel, observes miraculous moments in his friend Matityahu's life and wonders what gift his friend has. Daniyyel goe... s so far as asking Matityahu how and why he has it. Daniyyel wants that awareness and ability in his own life
Amongst the many unexpected events, from hard physical labor to saving lives after a natural disaster, is the effect of a beautiful strong, intelligent, capable young woman on Daniyyel. He has never met such an intriguing and mesmerizing woman in his short life. Could this adventure introduce him to the love of his life?
Although we don't see Daniyyel, aspire to become a healer or to create miracles, he does value the gentleness, kindness and passion that his friend, Matityahu displays.
During their travels from city to farm to villages and on, many unusual, synchronistic events occur. Surviving tragedy, meeting new people daily, Daniyyel is changed. After questioning, studying and trying out Matityahu's spiritual practices and suggestions, we see Daniyyel's growth from traditional religious thinking to an awakening of his own spiritual nature and new awareness. Daniyyel changes his life and develops awareness and love and closeness to God.
The journey portrays passage to newfound Oneness, an illustration of possibility accessible to everyone today.
Their story continually discusses and questions religion and religious teachings but isn't meant to depict a particular religion. Instead, it is meant to show how religion influences our thinking and our behavior and how we must examine what we learned as we grew up and decide for ourselves what has merit and what we decline. An unexamined life could be a mediocre life. Here we see Daniyyel repeatedly realize he accepted everything he was taught and now is considering a greater depth to the spiritual teachings of his people and changes his thinking and his vocabulary. His personal experience of God was nonexistent then gradually once he realizes this becomes a seeker and gets stunning results.
Daniyyel's awakening, like ours in current times, is gained through simple consistent action. Matityahu, Daniyyel's friend and teacher, is also a teacher for the readers of this small book. Their story serves as a guide for us in our own journey of awakening. read more
