Do you know what the greatest love of all is? It isn't the love of a mother although that is certainly one of the greatest. It is not the love of a Savior or God although theologians will argue that point with you. It is also not the love of friends, a lover or a social group although those can be as outstanding as ever. The greatest love is loving yourself. Now hold your horses. I didn't mean narcissism. There is a vast difference between loving who you are and making yourself the center of the universe.

Works of Paul Chek inspired me to write this book. I hope to show listeners that there is a purpose to life, and that it is the lessons we are learning in our everyday lives that give our life this purpose. I also feel there is something happening to the planet at this time, and we are privileged to be here. We are being guided and helped in many ways, which have not previously been open to us. As more and more people take an interest in matters which are "not of this world", the purposes of our true existence will come more into focus.
