Mindfulness, Meditation and Christ

By Imani Dhakiya

"For the Lord spoke thus to me while His hand was strong upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: Don't call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and don't fear what it fears, or be in dread." Isaiah 8:11-12 NRSV

This book is 'spiritual direction' on spiritually understanding and learning to practice 'inner stillness' as a way of life. It's about training yourself to manage and control your own mind (thoughts) and heart (feeling), doing the required inner work of: 1) daily spiritual washing & cleansing; 2) renewing your own mind; and 3) letting the peace of God guard your heart & mind (thoughts & feelings).

Despite pop-Christianity false teachings, there's just no such thing as depressed or anxiety-ridden faith. Real Christian faith means entering into God's promised 'covenant of peace'; it means spreading the Gospel of Peace, by your living. And no one can give [to others and to the world] what they don't already have within.

This book is about learning the promised peace of God -- from God. And that involves learning to use what professed Christianity already has [the Word of God] to 'get yourself spiritually qualified to receive' this spiritual gift from God. The peace of God is purely spiritual [inner] work; its not religious, nor is it ever the result of so-called religious Politics or of zealous 'civil religion.'

Personally knowing the 'way of peace' is vitally important to ever truly pleasing God. The reader will first learn what the peace of God is; then, what it's for, what it can do, and how you secure it for yourself. The reader will also learn to distinguish between any and all 'worldly offerings' and 'worthless religion promises' of peace, and the promised Peace of the Lord, offered through Christ.

This book isn't for those that are so attached to and identify so strongly with their depression issues, their anxiety problems, their angry infrastructure, their inherited hatefulness, or their blind loyalty to fear and conspiracy theories - that the very thought of taking God at His Word on His promised 'gift' and 'power' of inner peace upsets, angers, and offends them.

This book is for the believer that's 'determined to take God at His Word' - all of it. And for those that 'refuse to politely forego' the Peace of God because religion doesn't know the way, or because it offends and upsets depressed and angry souls.
