Shining Through: Switch on Your Life and Ground Yourself in Happiness (Spiritual Book on How to be Happy; Spiritual Gift; From the Author of Notes to Myself)

Shining Through is an easy-does-it, 30-day course in finding peace and happiness. Prather encourages readers to take a few minutes every day to read his "Essays of Encouragement" and reflect on and practice the accompanying 30 "Affirmations and Guides." "In this book I attempt to present a few ways that our mind can begin to hear the song of our heart and experience a growing faith in a truth that exists beyond our tragedies and fears. . . . It is vital to find an approach that permits us to experience a reality greater and more reliable than the confusing and surprisingly short journey of our body. I will suggest ways this can be done," Prather writes.

Among those ways are suggestions for reflection and practice:

• I will make no effort to step ahead of God. • Let me at least try. • Today I will not project. • I will not rehearse uncertainties to come. • Gentleness of thought is my way Home. • My body is a means of communicating love.

Readers will turn to Shining Through again and again to find a deeper hope, a quiet power, and an abiding light.
