Book Description
The Mirror Translation is a paraphrased translation from the original text.While strictly following the literal meaning of the original text, sentences have been constructed so that the larger meaning is continually emphasised by means of an expanded text. Some clarifying notes are included in brackets or at the end of the book. This is a paraphrased study rather than a literal translation. While the detailed shades of meaning of every Greek word has have been closely studied, this is done taking into account the consistent context of the entire chapter within the wider epistle, and bearing in mind the full context of Jesus and his finished work, which is what the message of the Bible is all about.

Book Description
While in prison, Paul writes from a place of strength and joy to encourage his friends. Phil 4:13 In every situation I am strong in the one who empowers me from within to be who I am! (Paul lived his life in touch with this place within himself. He discovered that the same I am-ness that Jesus walked in, was mirrored in him!)

Book Description
In the Mirror, Bible language becomes heart to heart whispers of grace. My philosophy in doing the Mirror Bible is reflected in the following example: I do not read music, but have often witnessed our son, Stefan, approach a new piece on the piano. His eyes see so much more than mere marks scribbled on a page; he hears the music. His trained mind engages even the subtleties and the nuances of the original composition, and is able to repeat the authentic sound, knowing that the destiny of the music would never be reduced to the page; but is always in the next moment, where the same intended beauty is heard, and repeated again! The best translation would always be the incarnation! I so value the enormity of the revelation of the incarnation. Yet, before flesh, the Word was προς face to face with God! And fragile text scribbled through the ages in memoirs of stone, parchment and papyrus pages carrying eternity in thought and continues to translate faith to faith! Now we have the same spirit of faith as he encountered when he wrote... "I believe and so I speak!" Conversation ignites! Did not our hearts burn within our being when He spoke familiar text of ancient times, in the voices of Moses and the prophets and David and Abraham, who saw his day and announced its dawn in our hearts! The mystery that was hidden for ages and generations is now revealed! In dealing daily with ancient text, rediscovering thoughts buried in time, I am often overwhelmed and awed at the magnificence of eternity captured in little time capsules, opening vistas of beauty beyond our imagination - face to face with the same face to faceness of the Logos and God and us - conceived in their dream! And irresistibly intrigued by the invitation to come and drink - to taste and see - from the source - and to hear a saint reminiscing and reminding himself of the utterance of another earth dweller-brother, David, who wrote a song 3000 years ago, "Return to your rest oh my soul! For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you! I believe and so I speak!" And with fresh wounds bleeding from the many angry blows he was dealt with, Paul echoes, "We have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, 'I believe and so I speak!' We too believe and so we speak!" Let's celebrate the "sameness" of Jesus yesterday - yes, as far as history and beyond time can go - and today! This very finite, fragile moment - plus the infinite future! Inexhaustible, beyond boundaries and the confines of space and time!

Book Description
Religion thrives on two lies: distance and delay. "Divine Embrace" celebrates the initiative that God undertook to cancel every possible definition of distance. The mission of Jesus was not to begin the Christian religion but to reveal and redeem the image and likeness of God in human form.

Book Description
Life sometimes seems to be like a mighty magnet, which compels one almost in remote control fashion. Yet if karma has the final say, why would it appear that some people are luckier than others? Our own thoughts, words, choices, habits and attitudes continue to turn and empower circumstances, events and people, which in turn touch and shape our destiny. Yet we often find ourselves trapped in confusion where life no longer seems to make any sense. I believe that within the horizon of our hearts, the voice of our spirit echoes truth. We are designed to explore and discover our inmost self, the wealth of light and life within our reach.
