"You are a being from God. You are good and beautiful. You are forever. Remember who you are."
Have you ever had the sense that you are more than your physical body, that you are actually a spiritual being from God who came into this world to fulfill a noble purpose?
Have you ever wanted to recognize your true spiritual nature, deep inside your mind and heart, that could help you better handle the stormy ups and downs of your daily life?
Have you ever wanted to know what spiritual truths can help you see other people as your sisters and brothers so you can build a more peaceful and creative world together?
In Remember Who You Are, Rahim Snow helps you uncover the answers to these and many other questions through the practical spirituality and interfaith wisdom of the Quran.
Remember Who You Are is a practical handbook of spiritual teachings based on 28 core verses from the Quran.
Each verse is translated into simple readable English and accompanied by a teaching / reflection / commentary / examples that show you how to apply that verse in your daily life.
These core verses represent the essential ideas of a universal spirituality. They are broad-minded and large-hearted. Muslims, Christians, Jews, and all seekers of knowledge can use them to go deeper into their own practice.
Remember Who You Are is a new addition to the great library of spiritual books and psychological teachings that includes Marianne Williamson, Pema Chödrön, Thomas Moore, Eckhart Tolle, Don Miguel Ruiz, and Brené Brown.
From the back cover:
In a time when Islam is understood less and less, there is a genuine desire among many of us to learn about the faith of almost two billion Muslims around the world. There is no better place to start than the Quran itself. Yet the Quran is not a book we can easily read without a good deal of background information. What if we had a friend who could help us take the first step by giving us an introduction to the core spiritual teachings of the Quran?
In Remember Who You Are, Rahim Snow guides us through 28 core verses to help us discover our true identity (who we are), purpose (why we are here), and nourishment (what feeds us). Each verse is translated into simple readable English and accompanied by a practical and friendly teaching that shows us how to use that verse in our daily lives. Not only do these verses give us a strong and vivid introduction to the Quran, they also help us go deeper into our own journey of knowledge, creativity, compassion, and service.
In times of rapid change, we need reminders of the timeless and the changeless. In times of conflict and division, we need bridges of hope and reconciliation to bring us together again. Remember Who You Are helps us remember our truth, goodness, and beauty so we can embody it more fully in the world. And it inspires us to build bridges so we can embrace and serve all people without exception.
