Bücher der Reihe Soul Call Series

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.

What does it take to survive 322 months in federal prison? I had to bend over, grab my ankles, close my eyes, and breathe through the pain. That's right!....I practiced yoga. Part humorous memoir, part spiritual self help book, this work highlights the mistakes I made which led to half a life spent behind the razor wire. It also shows how yoga and meditation helped me survive the experience with my sanity in tact and allowed me now to look back on the experience with almost as much gratitude as regret. This is Volume I in the Soul Call Series: a line of books designed to help people overcome difficult situations and learn to live meaningful lives no matter their circumstances or surroundings. I wrote each with the inmate in mind, but these books will help anyone live a more meaningful life, no matter which side of the gun towers they find themselves.
