Book: The Awakening Of Death

Author: David E Jones

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

The Awakening Of Death penned down by the author David E Jones is a spiritual book. In this book author has discussed about who we are as humans and why we are here. Author has also discussed about his life in this book. David’s mom left the home when he was 3 years old. His father even though he was in pain, he raised a little boy by himself. David cherished the loving moments that he spent with his nan and grandad as a child.

He considered himself as an evil, the reason of his mom leaving the home and punished himself physically. Reading about David’s life and his reaction to certain situations totally made sense. Anyone who had been in his shoes would have done the similar things like bed wetting, cutting off conversations with friends about family, doing stuffs to get others attention, etc.

Nutrition and exercise chapter is helpful. I liked the idea how author has expressed the idea of considering our journey on earth as a trip. I am glad to know about how perception plays a role in shaping our reality.

Language of the book is easy so even beginners could understand it. This is a part memoir and part spiritual read, I enjoyed reading it overall. I felt emotional at times while reading the book. Story involves drugs, alcohol, loss of loved ones, etc. So, if you are comfortable reading about it, go ahead with this book. I loved the way author has poured his heart and his life in this book.
