Self help books are generally about the essence of airy-fairy. They are meant to uplift. But the true essence of what is dysfunctional in your life is what stinks-what you have spent your whole life ignoring.This book series is about the truth. We have all been taught a shit-storm of lies. As in all storms there is lightning. It is that lightning that zaps our ass and keeps us dysfunctional. In the blinding flash of it, we seldom have the ability to see it. In the reek of it we don't want to look.This book is about your full diaper, about being adult enough to look at the truth. Being the fifth book in this series, it is the deepest. It scrapes out the bottom of my own family's outhouse.I may be a crude redneck, but in this life, we are all family. The only thing that differentiates us is our courage. Looking at the truth and enduring the stench is the only way to breathe free in cleaner air.

This book series is written by, and for, rednecks-those who have worked hard physically, and have always lived on the cusp of crudity, and some, even on the far side. We are not the kind to read books full of flowery language and esoteric concepts such as spiritual laws.Myself? It took meeting the Angel of Death for me to begin seeing the lies I'd always believed were true, and to want to know the truth of life. Oh, it wasn't any ghostly angel, ghoulishly swinging a sickle around, rather just a presence-one I could not deny. Given a reprieve I started a search for the truth. That was 25 years ago.This book is an in-your-face look at 16 spiritual laws- the real truths of life. If you want to know what they are-read this book. But I've got to warn you: there is a reason why nearly everyone alive would rather believe the lies, no matter how badly they stink up their lives.Living by these truths give a very different perspective - one most folks NEVER have the opportunity to see. The bulk of this book is of snapshots of life as seen from the perspective of the Laws.Again, I warn you. Seeing this perspective will change your life. Society has convinced everyone that it is necessary to wear a façade-that you will not be acceptable being who you really are. You must paint your shit acceptably pink. The bad news: knowing the truth this book will reveal, is to strip yourself down to naked reality. The good news: you will get to see the true beauty of you, and of life.

In this book we're taking spiritual law to the true nitty-gritty of life-like corn cobs out in what grandpaw called, "the outhouse."Have you ever used an outhouse? I have. Sitting on that rough wood hole sawed into that board, wondering what may be crawling on the bottom side-half expecting that whatever it may be, will bite me on the ass. And then besides the stink, there are the flies-Yeah, that's what this book is like-the REALITY of life! Spirituality is not something you only experience on Sundays. Life-all of it-is a spiritual experience.And those spiritual laws-you better believe they are REAL. Break them, and your ass will indeed get bitten, your life will stink, and then there's those flies. They're sort of like many of your acquaintances, and maybe even some relatives. You know---those folks who still live their lives by the lies we've all been taught to believe. They'll buzz around, trying to distract you, and invite you back, wanting you to be like them-to be who you used to be.Most are unable to see how functional your life is now when living these laws. Or, if seeing it, are jealous: they lack your courage to play in the game. Most are only here to observe, not to play out here on the field of life. Maybe that's because this time it has rained. But hey, every child knows that the game of life is best played down and dirty---in the mud. Yeah, this book is like that---the down and dirty redneck version of the spiritual laws. Played out here in the field, behind Grandpa's outhouse.

Have you ever wondered what life is really all about---what the REAL rules of life are. If your life isn't working for you, it's a sure-thing some of the rules you've been taught to live by are lies. This no bullshit book will tell you about the truth-if you've got the cajones to face it. It will put it right there in-your-face redneck style. Didn't you admit your life isn't working for you? C'mon . . . snatch this pebble Grasshopper-I dare you.

Most people die, still asleep in the cocoon they've fashioned of life. Comfortable or not, it is familiar and safe, but holds them from realizing their dreams. Some-only a few-get to be butterflies, all it takes is the courage to change. And sometimes, courage is a gift from the Angel of Death.While it could not be told as non-fiction, this is the story based on the true events of this author's life, and of his search for meaning from the precipice of death. Finding himself in a hospital ICU, expecting, but unwilling to die being someone even he doesn't like or respect, he strikes a bargain with The Angel of Death.They begin a journey through his life and in the process the angel becomes a good friend and mentor. With every chapter, Big D, the Angel, teaches him about life's great secrets-the Laws of Spirit-and in the end, he discovers the truth about who he is. If you liked The Celestine Prophecy, Conversations With God, or The Peaceful Warrior, you'll love this book.
