From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph over Death and Conscious Encounters With the Divine Presence

by T.F. Hodge

A [true] story of spiritual victory over “deathly” negative episodes and life-saving encounters with “The Divine Presence” (God/Source), this self-help revelation is powerful and inspiring! A secret held for over twenty years has finally resulted in this long awaited expression of love for God, self, nature and humanity. From spoiled man child, to gangster men affiliate, to spiritual awakening—the experience of triumph over one’s [own] understanding is full with the miracle of redemption and mental transformation; leading to a new life of prosperity and well-being. A former public school district colleague wrote, “Thanks for blessing me with your manuscript. I always knew you were cool, but I had no idea how thoughtful, insightful and provocative you are. I agree wholeheartedly with you that our thoughts and attitudes determine our fates. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop. Keep up the good work—two thumbs up!”

This true story takes you on a journey through the life of the author, whose experiences of growing up in Los Angeles and dealing with the emotional dynamics of near-death experiences and other life-changing events, ultmately led to his decision to rise from within. It is an awesome story and the emotionally raw content paints an amazingly vivid picture of the author's life. A Must Read!
