“ Offering intriguing food for the soul, author Mihai Melecciu enlightens spiritual seekers with a perspective changing work in God Promised, which presents a multifaceted road to self-discovery thorough exploration of various stories from the Bible, as well as relatable, authentic life examples. Moreover, escorting readers to the revelations of mastery of the world, of the visible and invisible realm, which ultimately leads to discovery, revelations and expansion of the “true self.” Author Melecciu approaches delving into the true meanings of each Bible story, and vignette by juxtaposing the story to aspects of the spiritual, physical and psychological aspects of the self, with unerring emphasis on the expansion of the self, through faith and the imagination. Overall, the book is divided into two sections. Starting out, chapter 1, bring the story of The Mystical Interpretation of How Israel Defeated Amalek, a parable which speaks of the battle between the spiritual aspect of ourselves or our inner selves versus the exterior or carnal world. The following chapter, (which also happened to be one of my favorites), titled In Meditation We Meet Him, serves to bring into focus the aspects of meditation/prayer. Furthermore, author Melecciu presents a detailed look at the proper approach, and mindset, as well as the potential pitfalls. Another compelling aspect within this chapter is a shared heart touching, inspiring real-life example of successful transformation via embodying the principles of a positive mindset for positive transformation. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the true nature of the “I Am” and author Mihai’s personal “Experiences” respectively. Additionally, the second part of the book titled, “Mihai’s Mind” contains a series of lectures by author Melecciu, comprised of a variety of pertinent topics including: Perception, Love, Happiness, Power of Thought, and Power of Positive Thinking, each topic conveying a message which is equally important to the theme of the entire work. Altogether, God Promised by author Mihai Melecciu is an earnest work, both intriguing and mind expanding in nature, well which made for a completely palatable, well written, and organized read, which I found equally comforting, inspiring and edifying. I completely enjoyed this book and will refer back to it time and again for its invaluable guidance, and I do recommend it as a worthy, perspective-altering read, worthy of adding to any personal library especially for those seeking to expand into their true selves by connecting to the true God inside and thereby unfolding their lives into a better version.”
