Secrets of Heaven is a true hidden treasure. Its age-old stories
that have been lost for centuries have now re-surfaced into a new
age. Secrets of Heaven is a book of parables and stories that
uplift the spirit, uproot the mind, and create a sense of purpose
and meaning to one's life. It establishes the true identity of man.
For years, man has followed the traditions of other men. This book
breaks that cycle.
