The God of all Things - Facing Reality

I wish I had paid attention to expressing myself. My vocabulary is so short, and I never took reviewing seriously, but here is a book that tells the most compelling story, of Truth. It does so in a simple way, too, explaining the concepts in a way that are easy to comprehend:

The God of all things - Facing Reality, by Aminah Kamble (Rajasa Robbins)

The thread above on themadinah discussion board is the most uptodate online collection of chapters in her book. Not all the chapters have been posted there. I intend to keep posting the rest of the 40 chapters in my possession, insha`Allah.

The story is told by Aminah Kamble, whose own story of reversion is a fascinating search for the Truth:

The story of sister Aminah Kamble

The author(ess) started to post the chapters of her book on her own site for the book:

God of all things site

but she has been very busy, and couldn't continue beyond chapter 16 on that site. The madinah board thread is the most uptodate one so far.

Her book is ready for publishing. A total of 585 pages. The book dimensions are 5.25 x 8 (inches). The price of the book I'm told will be $15.99. And it will be available for purchase on amazon.com

When it is published and/or ready on amazon.com, I will let you all know, Insha`Allah.

blogspot is back

for the time being, at least.

alHamdulillah, for some time now, blogspot.com and most sites previously blocked are now accessible in Pakistan. This has allowed me to switch to the new blogger, and to experiment with some of its features. I like what we have here.

Why has that happened. A good recount is here:

Pakistan Accidentally Blocks Millions of Websites In a Fumbled Censorship Filter

So, while those whose job it is to make the rest of run in exasperation, are thinking up ways to bring back the censorship and the bans, let us enjoy our freedom.

For freedom is what we lack. Even when we pay our taxes promptly, even when we obey the rules, the employees of the state, the many mafias and cartels, the next person on the street or the neighborhood, have decided that you are fair game, and must be tortured mentally and emotionally to make your life miserable.
