Walking On Holy Ground

Christchurch, Canterbury

Greetings I'm part way through writing the above book. Full Title: " Walking On Holy Ground: Heart Based Spiritual Practice and Radical Christianity". Moses is stripped of his role as Prince, he must even take off his shoes. He has nothing left but to walk on Holy Ground. Similarly our Spiritual walk is identical, ego has to be stripped, pride, our sense of self, all has to be dropped. As in dying, we take nothing with us.

In my book I am also asking how do we confront pain and suffering. A real dilemma. Jesus is reported as saying: "Let the dead, bury the dead." I now understand that we primarily accept the reality of suffering. The Lord Buddha's solution like Jesus, was Love and acceptance, and the utter importance of Acceptance.

Use of funds

Assistance with editing the Book. I've been quoted 25k to prepare the book for the printer. A new computer would be good, and enough money to pay for the first 200 copies I think possibly $25.00 each copy. Any amount would help cover costs.

Greetings everyone. We are on our final edit. From memory we have spent around $2,500.00 on editing. Worth every penny. I will be approaching a publisher this month. My love Richard

Dear Elliott. My reason for getting a professional Editor is I'm hoping the book will have wide appeal. My style is still evolving. Thank you so much for your kind gift. It means a lot. 25k is a big challenge. Much love to you both. Richard

Dear Ross. Thank you. I'm beavering away to finish Chapter 4. I've hand written most, and once I've typed my notes up it is the professional editing that is both worthwhile but costly. Again, thank you so much Warm regards Richard

Dear Jolene. First draft is up to Chapter 3. If you are interested can I flick parts of the book to you. For your response. So grateful. The cost of getting professional editing is sadly high. Warm regards Richard
