"Those who say, don’t know. Those who know, can’t say." Such is the path of mysticism: a fine line of experienced intimacy with God and an inability to describe a knowing beyond words. Most often, we “fall into grace” by accident, when our desire for God can’t be met by continuing to do what we’ve always done, and we’ve left the beaten path with no idea where we’re going. But what if there were a third option, apart from quiet knowing or loud ignorance? What if you could walk in the feet of someone who knew the way? Put yourself in the feet of another and walk to His House. Come, discover yourself in the eyes of Love.

Do you find it easy to love others but difficult to love yourself? It shouldn't be. We are all uniquely made. This book is designed for you to take time out of your busy life to appreciate and realize just how special you are.

This book represents the complete collection of letters I penned to a young couple in 2009; they in turn have generously given permission to share it with others. My reason for writing these letters is to give a solid understanding of those things in life that are reliably true—that is, things that are true to such an extent that one can fully depend on them for support and use them to build up a solid belief system which will stand firm through life’s storms. In the interest of protecting the privacy of the individuals involved, I have changed their names. Otherwise, these letters remain in their original form. James Brooks June 2009
