The Truth Is Beyond Belief!: Some thoughts to make you think about the power of your thoughts...by Jerry DurrThis book was written to be inspirational; to inspire you to take the journey from your "normal" state of thoughts and worries and fears back to your "natural" state of peace and perfection. To help you remember how Adam felt on the morning of his creation before he had a chance to create any angers or regrets about the past, or any worries or fears about the future, but simply enjoyed the peace and perfection that can only be found in the present moment. Its intention is to have you think of things you may never have thought about, and it is meant to help you see more deeply into the miracle of yourself and of Life Itself.

And to help you remember the things truly worth remembering; to move you from beliefs of lifes ordinariness and imperfection to the Truth of its Extraordinariness and Perfection.After h
