When I first saw
the tittle, I had the inkling feeling that I once read the book years ago but
since I was in a hurry - packing my bag for the outstation at 1.30 am while
contemplating which books to take with me, I end up with this book and 2
others.
So yupp this was
the second time I read this book. I realized this while half way reading the
book but I kept on reading because a 'soothing and touch your heart' kind of
book is always a pleasure to read again.
This heart warming
book that took 8 years to complete started with one request from a rabbi 'will
you do my eulogy?'
There are so
many lessons, questions, discussion, etc from the book regarding faith.
It doesnt matter
if you are a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddist, etc. You will
definitely find something that will make you want to look deeply on your
religion and your actions towards mankind.
You could find
stories about restored faith, faith translated in actions not just your belief,
we are all connected to each other, dealing with losing someone precious,
always try to find kindness in people, we could take nothing with us when we
die, simplify life and enjoy the journey, hope not to be forgotten, the regret
of things left unsaid, kindness goes all the way, forgiveness, etc.
"The most
important things in life comfort, love and a peaceful heart".
"The secret
of happiness are to be satisfied and be grateful with what God has given you,
for the love you received and what you have".
I could relate
with the story about how most human likes to run from God and most of us will
always turn to God when we are at our lowest point in life.
Listening shall
be done through ears, eyes and heart especially when you are dealing with the
kids.
Everybody have
the chance to start over and redeem themselves.
Sometimes in
life, you will come across a book that really speaks to you at that time.
I started
reading this book while waiting for the flight to Langkawi at the boarding area
and finished it off while waiting for the luggage at Langkawi International
Airport. Yeay
