Download or read book The Meaning of Finding Coins written by Kimberly Ahri and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are being invited to a heavenly conversation. In this enchanting book of true miracle stories, written to share encouragement, love and wonder, angelic guides provide spiritual insight into the messages offered to you by a "found coin." If I told you that picking up the random coins you come across could add a whole new layer of depth and meaning to your life, would you find that hard to believe? I mean, really, is finding a quarter, or a dime, or a penny on the street a big deal? Yeah. It really could be. What if the coin, as you picked it up, gave you a sense of love and support that only your mom could give you, even though your mom''s in Heaven now? What if you suddenly felt able to let go of financial concerns that were plaguing you? What if every time you found a coin in a most unusual way you understood that you''d just been invited to enter a state of wonder, enjoy the life-enhancing benefits of that wonder, and were able to relax into the soothing comfort of divine reassurance? What if, from past experience, you knew that an oddly placed coin was sent as a loving reminder to take a step back and review what''s going on in your life? What if you knew the coin served as an affirmation that you''re on the right track? What if, over time, you came to believe that these remarkable experiences are actually part of ongoing communication from the divine realm? Would you feel less alone in this world? Would that add meaning to your life? It certainly has added meaning to mine. This book is the result of one long chain of events. I experienced interesting encounters with random coins and I began to talk to others about what had been happening. When I brought up the subject to those who''d already had their own unique coin encounter, they smiled at me knowingly, eyes twinkling, eager to talk about it, like we were part of some special club. Then, I wrote a post on the subject and put it on my blog. The post turned out to be some type of energetic call sent into the Universe to expand my awareness on the subject. I later learned that I''d opened up what the guides call "an energetic pathway." I began to record the information that was being "downloaded" to me with the inkling it was meant to be a book. The "download" was not just about coins. In addition to the meanings and possible reasons that people start to find coins in ways that are just plain hard to ignore, there was also an interesting blend of spiritual insight. Some of the reasons people find coins you''ve probably already heard of. Some of the reasons will surprise you... What are the coins you find trying to tell you? FROM THE BACK COVER: What if the simple act of picking up a coin could begin a heavenly conversation so mystical that it altered the way you view life? That is what happened to this author. In 2010, Kimberly Ahri began to find coins everywhere-every single day. This curious experience lasted for weeks, prompting her to pray for guidance and ask the question, "Is there meaning in finding coins?" The answer changed her life and initiated a wonder-filled journey that infused her spirit with hope during some of her most challenging times. Her journey also revealed spiritual insights and messages in the coins sure to help anyone feel more connected to the divine in life. This book is an answer to her calling: To share the information given to her so others may experience the same sense of encouragement and wonder. What if you could enter into a divine conversation that would give you a sense of love, reassurance, and comfort-every single time you find a coin? You can. And you''ve already been invited. **New blue cover replaces white cover 9/2018**

Download or read book The Coin of the Realm written by Roger Dubin and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Coin of the Realm is hard to categorize yet easy to love. On one level it's a gripping thriller with exotic locales, memorable characters, and a compelling romance; while just beneath the surface swirl mysteries of destiny, purpose, the intricate workings of fate, and the ultimate sources of meaning in life. The novel's transcendent themes will haunt the reader long after the 'thrill[er] is gone.' I recommend it most highly." -Roy Schoeman, author of Salvation is from the Jews and Honey from the Rock (Ignatius Press) "With its sure-handed style and literary polish, one is hard-pressed to accept that The Coin of the Realm is a first novel. This is pure adventure storytelling, yet intertwined with the eternal quest for truths that lie just beyond our grasp. Seagoing exploits aboard Caroline Coast, a ramshackle freighter, conjure passages of Patrick O'Brian-distinct praise indeed. But whether the scene is set in the Great Lakes, the Atlantic, Tunisia, or the Sahara, the author keeps the pace moving and the excitement high, using action and mystery to skillfully project us into the minds and hearts of his characters. Roger Dubin has proven he's a writer to watch." -Anthony Eglin, author of The Blue Rose, The Lost Gardens, Trail of the Wild Rose, The Water Lily Cross, and Garden of Secrets Past (St. Martin's Press)
