Humans have worries, fears, and obligations that they live by blindly, according to what they were taught.  They seek happiness through different channels that could be called God, Spirit, the Universe, etc., not understanding why they are doing what they are doing.  But what is life really all about?

Explaining that for the last two years he has been having dialogues with his guardian angel, author Sami S. Jarroush offers discussions that will help humans understand who they are, what their life’s mission is, what happens when they leave this life, and how to live and die without fear of the unknown. It is a powerful dialogue that brings to light information that was meant to be shared with the world.

Eye–opening, thought–provoking, and highly reflective, I Am the Body, the Mind and the Soul takes you through a journey to self awareness where the answers to living in happiness without worries, fears or obligations reside.  This journey is to show every human how to finish a life that started with rules and conditions, in awareness and considerate living.

Sami S. Jarroush is a Reiki Master Teacher and Energy Healer, Muscle Release Technique professional, Hypnotherapist and Spiritual Counselor.  He resides in Northern New Jersey with his wife and his three children where he is currently working on his next book.  Interested parties can visit his website at www.balancewnc.com.

Jason Berggren, former frontman and lyricist for the band Strongarm, signed with Tooth & Nail Records. Strongarm is widely considered to be one of the most influential Christian hardcore bands and still enjoys a devoted following. After leaving the band, he helped to start the Calvary Fellowship church in Miami, FL, fulfilling the role of associate pastor overseeing several areas of service. In 2005, he decided to explore a different ministry calling, returning to his childhood ambition of being a writer. His new book, 10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations of Faith, conveys his conviction that “positive momentum begins with negative tension.” Berggren felt compelled to write the book after realizing that all of his spiritual difficulties and challenges originated from the same ten issues. As he addresses these issues with absolute honesty, Berggren connects with both the church insiders and the outsiders who may be wondering what they can really expect from faith in Christ.
