An Afternoon's Dictation by Steven Greenebaum aims to renew our spirits and give us hope in this dark time of pandemics, financial crises, wars, and tension. In 1999, the author's life was in turmoil, and he was angry with God. At that moment, God spoke to him in a calm voice, and he wrote three pages of the revelation he was given. Steven decided to seek answers. He studied many religious and mythological teachings, and in this book, he talks about these revelations, his findings, and how they apply to us in these trying moments. The book covers interfaith, death and dying, the meaning of justice, love for one another, the idea of one family, and spiritual problems.
Whether you are Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, or Hindu, you will notice common teachings in all these religions, which is not a coincidence. Every language has developed differently depending on location or culture, and religions have done the same. In God's revelation to Steven Greenebaum, he says, "Religion is but a language for speaking to Me." Therefore, there should be no need for us to hate one another. I love this message because it promotes love and oneness, which we need in our communities today. We have so many books that teach this message, and we must study and ponder them, not memorize them, because this only leads to feelings of superiority and hatred for one another. The author encourages us to embrace our differences, show humility, and be compassionate. I enjoyed reading this book and hope many more people read it and apply these lessons.
