My first book, A Soul Call from Prison: How Yoga and Taoism Cured My Crises with Cocaine and Christianity, covered how I survived 23 years in federal prison using various forms of meditation to cope with the experience. There, I quoted passages from an obscure book that provided me with many answers I had been seeking. This scripture revealed God in a way I could understand. The words were like a ringing bell rousing me from a deep sleep. It confronted and conquered, the contradictions and paradoxes, I encountered with religion as a child. It provided insight into my suffering, showed me how to start a spiritual quest, and gave practical advice for feeling better. Most importantly, it inspired me. It did then, and it continues to every time I pick it up. The Kolbrin might be the best scripture you've never read.
For those receiving their first exposure to the Kolbrin, I feel a father's joy in watching his children unwrap gifts. The world deserves to know about this book, and I hope my small effort will shed light on it. I modeled 365 Meditations after the Daily Bread magazine format, which features Bible verses and accompanying lessons, along with instructions, stories, inspiration, and commentaries. The Daily Bread is designed to help the reader start each morning with a spiritual mindset. Reading a section fortifies you to face the day's hardships. Likewise, this book has been divided into short sections. Each one takes a passage from the Kolbrin and reflects upon it. The book covers meditation, its importance and how to implement it.
This book is for the newcomer or backslider to spiritual life. It gives daily insights for one to draw closer to a spiritual awakening. This book will show you how to get started, offer a helping hand when you feel down, and motivate you when you feel lazy. You can read it all at once, in chunks, or place it in the bathroom and read when you are guaranteed a few minutes' privacy.
