Divinely Inspired

by Jerry Pollock, Magnus Andersson (Illustrator)

Since the beginning of time, humans have tried to understand God's Essence. However, not even the most brilliant and enlightened minds among us can comprehend Him because simply put, "God is." If we understood the mystery of God, then why would we need to have faith? Perhaps the best we can hope for is to recognize when we are visited by God. We then have the opportunity to bring real change and meaning to our lives. Divinely Inspired is one man's story to lift himself out of the despair of Bipolar Disorder, near suicide, migraines, anxiety, neurotic behavior, and scientific cheating to emerge on a path to God. Jerry Pollock's transformation from a damaged and ravaged soul to merging into God's Light, as outlined in Divinely Spiritual Awakening of a Soul, is seen through unusual miracles of Divine intervention that initiated the author's spiritual journey. Jerry's climbing of the spiritual ladder is a very gradual and personal process as he tries to improve his flawed character. He comes to realize that God is the master scientist responsible for both Evolution and Creation. As his story unfolds, readers are inadvertently empowered to embark on their own spiritual journey, as best as they can, by adhering to the Creator's original self-help plan, The Ten Commandments. The author contends that the Ten Commandments are the basis for all self-improvement. This memoir represents the author's first steps to stand in God's place of Holiness. His own journey of belonging to God is continued in his new novel, the Messiah Interviews, to be published in paperback form in January of 2009 along with a printing reissue second edition of Divinely Inspired.

About the author

Life may have a destiny for us all. My destiny seems to have changed from being a research scientist of forty years to becoming a spiritual writer of the arts. My first book, Divinely Inspired: Spiritual Awakening of a Soul, was a memoir published in 2003 with a second edition published in January 2009 and a companion audio book just out in 2010. My second book, also published in January 2009, was a biblical fiction novel, Messiah Interviews: Belonging to God, which is also available as an audio book.

My stage play, Code Name Daniel, premiered in Manhattan at the American Theatre of Actors from July 7th thru July 11th, 2010. I published my biblical political supernatural thriller novel, Gog & Magog: The Devil's Descendants in June 2011. My wife's Memoir, The Wing of the Butterfly was completed in the spring of 2012 for family and friends.

I was born Jewish in 1941 in Toronto. I didn't know what it meant to be spiritual until God entered and changed my life at the age of 57 with Divine miracles. I am now 70. Despite onset adult Bipolar Disorder, growing up neurotic in an unloving and non-nurturing home environment and an almost successful suicide attempt, I succeeded in academics. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Pharmacy, a Ph.D. in Biophysics from Israel, and further training in Microbiology. I am the author of seventy-five scientific publications, and am Professor Emeritus at Stony Brook University on Long Island. For the past twelve years, I have embarked on a path to gain spiritual wisdom and share it with others. My beloved wife Marcia, my bashert or destined one passed away in March of 2011 but has returned to telepathically communicate with me from the spirit world. Across two worlds we have coauthored a new book, Putting God Into Einstein's Equations: Energy of the Soul now out in April of 2012 both as a paperback and Kindle version. While Marcia resides in Heaven, I currently reside in Florida.

Reviews

[Jerry Pollock · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read the paperback version of the first edition (2003).

"A touching narrative that reaches out to the reader and proves that it is never too late to find God. The author believes and rightly so, that the original Ten Commandments are not only to maintain order in a chaotic world, but they are also in their essence, the source for any human efforts at self improvement. A thoroughly engrossing narrative style and almost conversational tone makes this an easy, fast and extremely satisfying read, yet one that leaves the impact of a gentle loving wallop, if there is such a thing."
