Ten days after one's son has been killed may seem to be a strange time to start writing a book. It is a time of raw emotion, and intense pain, but for the author this was combined with an unyielding feeling that there was a story to be told. This is the true story of a life unfolding, of events coming together in the most unlikely ways, and an increasing awareness of God in everyday life. The situations encountered - illness, redundancy, a new career and a tragic bereavement, light the way of a spiritual path and invite readers to consider their own spiritual journey. The disappointments, the insights and the grief are shared with readers in a compelling book which, written from the heart offers hope and inspiration to anyone facing the challenges of life.

Face Value: From Working the Pole to Baring My Soul is Less Than Zero meets Miami Vice but with more make-up and hairspray. It is the story of a beautiful, free-spirited, wide-eyed little girl from the island of O`ahu who has no childhood memories before the age of nine. What trauma could have erased her early life; she may never know. What she does know, is that for as far back as she can remember these events influenced her unusual life. Christine tells her story with raw, honest, relatable, and no holds barred writing, taking us through the pain of her adolescence compounded by a rare skin disease that left her face permanently disfigured. Her darkest moments include drug addiction and dancing nude on stages in Waikiki. In Christine's personal story we experience life behind the typical island backdrop of coconuts and palm trees, falling headlong into the underground world of adult entertainment where Christine spent nearly a decade trying to find her self-worth.

Now is a pivotal time. There is an opportunity to engage the whole of humanity in an evolutionary advance, if only we can understand whatâs happening and why. This book helps us do just that. Our brilliant technological culture inflicts intolerable stress on us because it grants no value to feelings and allows no time for relationship with the soul. Through a combination of exquisite images and wise words, this book enables us to understand the root causes of humanityâs current crises, which lie in the loss of connection with the soul and its vast power. The book shows what is needed for change to happen at a profound level, and how we can use the power lying dormant within us to serve the planet. It concludes with a practical section on what needs to be done, and how it can be done, by any and every one. In short, it offers a clear agenda for a conscious humanity. Can a book enchant, inspire and instruct at the same time â and in less than 10,000 words? This one does.
