7 Days with Adam by Jay Speights Review


BLURB:
 7 Days With Adam is a brilliantly crafted work about Adam, the first man, who visits the author and shatters many of his core beliefs about God, creation, the basic nature of humans and this world. He has astonishing revelations about his and Eve's real legacy. After the 7 day visit, he leaves the author enlightened with actual exercises, prayers and meditative techniques that we can all use to access our Divine Inner Power and achieve mastery in our lives. This book is a testament to the value of storytelling in spirituality, and to disciplined spiritual practice, as well as being attuned to the Higher Self and Divine Inner Light that is in all of us..

BIO: Jay Speights is an award winning author, chaplain, spiritual coach, and Director of The New Seminary, the oldest Interfaith Seminary in the world. His multi-faith approach has lead him to continuously search for common universal truths about God, creation, and existence. Jay believes we must always strive to be attuned to our Higher Self, which is reflected in his discipline of prayer, meditation, daily spiritual practice and writing. For many years he was a contributor to The Washington Times Online Edition and religionandspirituality.com, where he provided social, spiritual, and political commentary focused on getting people to interact and relate on a higher level. A November 2009 Post from his Washington Times Blog , motivated the City Council of Washington, DC, to pass a resolution declaring March 20, 2010, "Polite Day". The resolution was the result of his post asking the DC Government to appeal to DC residents, political leaders and commuters to be more polite and civil as they move about their neighborhoods and business in the city. In November 2007 he received the Humanitarian Award from The Punjabi Literary Society for Distinguished Commentary at Lincoln Center in New York for his commentary about the how Sikhs are subjected to harsh treatment because of their faith and cultural tradition Jay is a graduate of Howard University, where he earned a BA in Political Science and MA in Public Affairs.

My Review:
Have you ever questioned your faith? What if you could get all your questions answered? For a small book, this book definitely packed a punch. I was not ready for the insightful answers that so many people have asked themselves. I am definitely going to read this book again in the future. As I went through this book I thought how cool it would be to have 7 days with Adam, or a deseaced family matter. So many questions, and only 7 days! I tried to read this book with an open heart, however I am set in my ways. That did not take away from the book, but it made me have even more questions. I hope that this author comes out with another book. I really enjoyed his writing style. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own! What would you ask Adam?
