FOR YEARS, RELIGIOUS FOLK AND SPIRITUALLY MINDED INDIVIDUALS HAVE AGREED ON ONE THING: THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH.
DELIBERATE DEVOTION IS A DAILY APPLICATION OF TRUTH.
FOR THE MOST PART, RELIGION HAS CO-OPTED THE TERMS DEVOTIONAL AND DAILY DEVOTIONAL. THIS BOOK IS NOT RELIGIOUS, DOGMATIC, OR AGENDA LAIDEN.
DELIBERATE DEVOTION IS A DAILY CONTEMPLATIONAL, NOT A RELIGIOUS DEVOTIONAL PROMOTING ONE VIEW OVER ANOTHER. YOU WILL ONLY FIND DAILY TRUTH IN ABUNDANCE HERE.
IF THIS BOOK DOESN’T OPEN YOUR EYES TO TRUTH FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD AND FROM OUR COLLECTIVE VOICES IN IT, MAY YOUR LIFE STILL BE ONE OF PLENTY.
(The Gospel of Luke) The kingdom of God is not coming in any way that you can observe. The kingdom of God is already here - within you.
(The Dhammapada) Those with a pure heart, and who seek the Way without ceasing, will find it. It is like cleaning glass until the dust is removed.
(The Bhagavad Gita)Those who seek to find the One without ceasing, will find the Lord dwelling in their own hearts.

(The Katha Upanishad) God allowed man to look outward, but in seeing the outer, the inner is ignored. Those who see the eternal, turn their gaze within.
(The Tao Te Ching) When the wise man hears of the Way, he tries hard to follow it. When the average person hears of the Way, he tries to keep it, but eventually loses it. When those who are ignorant hear of the Way, they just laugh. If people didn’t laugh at it, it wouldn’t be the Way.
(The Gospel of Thomas) If you think the Kingdom of God is above you, then the birds will find it first. If you think it is in the ocean, then fish will discover it before you do. Look… the Kingdom of God is within you and all around you.
