a Lion named Christian
This book is dedicated to a Lion named Christian and to the two young men who unexpectedly came upon him and adopted the lion cub for no other reason than feeling compelled in their hearts to do so. This is a true story...
Two friends from Australia, John and Ace, were working in London England in 1969. One day, they were shopping and decided to go into the world famous store, Harrods. When they went upstairs to the pet department, they found that Harrods’ pet store was more like a zoo! They saw two lion cubs, cramped in a cage!
Neither Ace nor John knew anything about lions, really. But they became instantly bonded to the male cub. So much so that John said to Ace,
"Why don't we buy him?" To which Ace answered, "I've already named him..."
"What? What did you name him?" "I've named him, Christian," said Ace.

About the author
Sheryl Lynn Christian
13 books4 followersEssentially a teacher, author Sheryl Lynn Christian’s strengths are compassion, clarity, openness, and creativity. Coming from a place of kindness and love, she listens, empathizes, and understands the issue, and she uses her intuitive skills to creatively seek and help people find their solution. This practice builds trust and mutual respect, has served many, and will remain her approach. She has her Ph.D. in Psychology with a research emphasis on the cognitive processes of mindfulness and creative expression.
Since 1989, Sheryl Lynn Christian continues to be a lifetime scholar and “miracle worker” of A Course In Miracles (ACIM) – a psycho-spiritual guide to inner peace. For twenty-three years, she has felt that her Divinely True Purpose is to heal the world. Opening to her higher self, the inner voice, and the angelic guides who are and have been with her always, she began her journey long ago by placing her trust in God, and she asked to be led where she needed to go. By doing all things with loving intent and starting with some of the same self-love practice techniques described in this book, she achieved a true sense of wholeness and peace.
In 1990, she became a Certified Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming Therapy® and a facilitator of Time Line Therapy™. She was trained in Western Astrology by renowned Astrologer, Diane Ronngren, and is a Past Life Coach and Medium certified by clairvoyant, numerologist, Eastern Astrologer, and Ayurvedic healer, Prince Raja Harindra Singh, Ph.D. As an intuitive and vibrational healer, Sheryl has worked with spiritual Astrologist and vibrational healer, Eduardo J. Caldera, and she is an instructor of Western Astrology and Tarot.
As spirit guided her, for over fifteen years Sheryl worked in the human services field in several capacities; as a volunteer and a trainer for the C.A.S.A. program, as a Certified Mental Health Crisis Para-Professional, and for twelve years she was a Caseworker in Child Welfare. As a Child Protection Caseworker, she spent the last five years as a certified Court Ordered supervised visitation specialist. She is regarded as a Court expert witness in the areas of child welfare and protection, supervised visitation, and on the effects of domestic violence and sexual abuse on children. She is also a certified instructor for Art Innovators – an art enrichment program for children and adults.
Sheryl Lynn Christian was raised in Los Angeles. She is the mother of four beautiful and loving children who are now grown. Most of her psycho-spiritual training was attended in Los Angeles. She and her children moved from California to rural Arkansas in 1992. In Arkansas, she met “Prince” Harindra Singh, Ph.D. and studied under him. “Prince” directed her to become an author and to adopt a pen name to write under. As an author and an artist, she has published four books thus far under her pen name, primarily romantic historical fiction, and she illustrates the covers as well as creates images of her characters. Most of her ideas have come from her past-life experiences, dreams, fantasies, and visions. She was a mentor for Classic Insights, a spiritual college with an emphasis on the arts, and she is also a member of the Spiritual Emergencies Group - Council of Imhotep and Ma'at founded by Dr. Mitchell Gibson.
From the place of peace, deservedness, and gratitude, the concept and title of Twelve Steps to Inner Peace came to Sheryl as a gentle whisper, and she was guided to ask Premlatha Rajkumar to join her in writing this important and potentially world healing book. When asked, Premlatha excitedly said that she had already begun writing and that she’d outlined twelve chapters! And she said that she was waiting for someone to assist her in putting it together!
In a sacred, miraculous, and divine fashion, the book, Twelve Steps to Inner Peace, was co-created… And so it is…

Loved this story. It is a terrible story back when you could buy exotic wild animals at Harrods at Christmas. John & Ace purchase Christian and a great love story ensues. The guys do the right thing and life carries on. A remarkable reunion proving pets never forget you is so touching. Great story.

The story of a lion purchased at Herrods is a fun story to read. As the lion grows up it gets harder to find places to give him the exercise he needs. Eventually they are able to free him to the wild. It is a fun and easy read. check out youtube for the reunion videos.
