This is NOT a self-help book.
One month and three days away from turning 34, Misha Gerrick is feeling like her entire life imploded. The process started years ago, in 2014, but after years of staggering through loss after loss and day after day like life just isn't making any sense at all, one big question has started to hit her with one giant blow:
Is this REALLY what life is supposed to be?
This book will be difficult. It will go into some dark and thorny places as Misha digs into her experience and very existence to figure out this project called LIFE, and how to live it.
Someone else might find this process as a useful, painful, maybe even beautiful inroads into thinking some troublesome thoughts about what it all even means, but it is NOT a self-help book.
There is no one way to live life, and this is just about how one person decided to go about finding fulfilment and a sense of joy in the everyday business of living.

The Interesting Book: Deeper Conversation With God
"The Cave You Fear To Enter Hold The Treasure You Seek." Are you someone who believes in something beyond our understanding-a person who says, "There's something out there, but we won't know it until we can"? Who told you that the "right moment" even exists when time itself is a construct created by humans? Honestly, I'd suggest you put this book down and not waste your time, because everyone has their own "right time" to understand what I'm trying to convey here. I recorded myself while talking about things I had never even heard of before as a non religious person with lacking GOD concept. . It was me, yet it felt like an upgraded version of myself guiding me to develop further. This version of me presented an option: What if everything you know, everything you've been, and everything you've labeled could be erased, allowing you to start over and build a completely new sense of self? HER said, "If you're not ready to understand who I am and what I'm trying to say, then 'QUIT.' Because it took immense time, pain, and experience for you to endure and evolve to reach me and sustain this communication." And so, I did. The book you'll be reading is a transcript of the audio I recorded. Interestingly, it resembles a religious text-though, believe me, I didn't intend it to. It just happened. Later, I searched for the first "God word" that corresponded with specific numbers through the transcripts, and I discovered connections to related verses across 12 major global religions, smaller religions, indigenous beliefs, new religious movements, denominations, and sects which you will find them in the book. But here's the truth: everyone is capable of understanding-once they reach the right intellectual and spiritual evolution. I assume you've decided to stay. So, what if I told you that to truly be born into real reality, you must first experience a kind of death?....Complete
