It has been said that this human birth is God's greatest gift to us. Most of us hardy ever stop to assess the true value of this precious gift. Perhaps many of us are apt to imagine that we are leading busy, full lives, making the best possible use of God's rare gift.

Dada J P Vaswani, a living saint of our own times? Read Dada's very own inspired account of the lives of these great saints - of Guru Nanak and Gautama Buddha; Baha'u'llah and Lord Dattatreya; Tulsidas and Purandardas; Rabiya and Avvaiyar; Tolstoy and Gurudev Ranade; Sri Ramakrishna and his sacred consort, Ma Sharada; modern day sages like Kagawa and the one and only Helen Keller; and, many others who lived the Life Beautiful in their own terms - these personal tributes are bound to leave you profoundly moved and truly uplifted.

People often say that life is a battle, which must be conquered; that life is a challenge, which must be faced. Dada J.P. Vaswani's 'take' on life is different; life is the greatest gift bestowed on us, a gift which we must treasure and cherish. Dada's message in this slim, but powerful and inspiring volume is especially meant for the youth: make friends with life; make the most of this valuable gift. Frustration, failures, disappointments and set-backs are all part of the complex wave of life; they embellish life by making us wiser, stronger, more aware and more sensitive. They help us to evolve and grow in maturity and emotional strength. They also help to highlight the positive aspects of life, which we often tend to lose sight of, or even take for granted. Let Dada show you, with his inimitable wit and wisdom, how to shake hands with life.

Life is God's greatest gift to us. Are we living our lives fully, joyously? Are we making the most of this valuable gift? When the going is good, we live well. But the moment we face problems, we lose heart. When difficulties strike, we blame others, we blame circumstances, we may even blame God! How can we face adversities with courage and confidence and come out on top? What can we do when difficulties strike? According to Rev Dada L P Vaswani, the answer is simple: we I must cultivate faith. We must live by faith: for faith is the key to the treasure of life; faith is the sustaining, nourishing power that makes life beautiful, happy and serene. In this thought-provoking book which has been compiled from Rev Dada's discourses, he shares with us the formula that can make the impossible possible - through what he calls the secret of triple faith: faith in the self, faith in the world around us and faith in the goodness of God. As always, Dada leads us by example: what comes through most powerfully in this book is Dada's own faith that all was well, all is well, and all will be well, today, tomorrow, and a thousand years from now. It is impossible for anyone to read his words and fail to be imbued with the faith that can move mountains! Make the most of your life with the faith that can work wonders for you. Let Dada show you how the gift of faith can transform your life.

Peace, joy, liberation, freedom from anxiety and worry, and the perfect sense of security that one finds at the chosen haven - if you have ever wondered where you are ever likely to come across all these together, the answer is: in the Kingdom of God - that which you and I call heaven! Heaven need not be remote from us in time or distance: there are right royal routes, wide open gateways to this kingdom all along the journey of life. Indeed, Rev. Dada J P Vaswani shows that heaven is within reaching distance for all of us - if only we choose the right route and the right gateway. Many of us are apt to imagine that virtuous living and high thinking are only for realised souls; as for the rest of us, life is meant to be a mundane, worldly existence. Rev. Dada shows us that the gift of life does not have to be wasted in futile efforts; each minute, each hour, each day that we live can actually be converted into a wealth of goodness which will be ours beyond this world. Like the expert guide that he is, Rev. Dada offers us a roadmap that leads us to the true treasure that is everlasting: the treasure that cannot be looted, destroyed, lost in debt or rendered ineffective due to inflation or economic recession! Rev. Dada's latest book reveals that heaven need not necessarily be a distant destination: following Rev. Dada's guiding wisdom, you will realise that you can actually create your own heaven here on this earth.
