Latest brochure regarding the Christian Books by George Calleja

(to receive the pdf version of this brochure, just send an email to:  peacethroughunity@gmail.com  )

Over the years it has been on the author’s mind to write a Christian book addressing abortion. For different reasons the author delayed writing this book, mainly because many authors have already successfully published books tackling this subject. Also, being a very controversial subject, the author felt it was not yet the right time for him to concentrate on writing this book. During this time, while publishing other Christian books, the author listened to several different podcasts and watched various videos related to abortion. The author was open to listening to the arguments brought forward by those in favour of abortion and also by those not in favour of abortion. Reading online newspapers concerning this subject also brought the attention of the author to what was going on in his own homeland country of Malta, what went on in the United States, within the European Union and other countries in the world concerning different legislations and laws that came into effect regarding abortion. Being a Christian and a practising Catholic, the intention of the author upon writing this book was to bring forward to the reader of any faith, denomination, culture, whether being in favour or against abortion, the voice of the unborn baby. The author wishes that this simple book give the opportunity to the reader to listen to the voice of the unborn baby pleading: ‘Mum… let me live’. Reading this book will hopefully bring new light to the reasons why the author and so many other people are against abortion and in favour of life. The author wishes whoever reads this book, to do so with the freedom to agree or disagree with what is written, but at the same time to give time to one’s heart to listen also to what the unborn baby has to say: ‘Mum… let me live’.

It iss a real pleasure for me as a Christian Author to have written another Christian book ‘Reflections for the Soul’, gathering short reflections I have written which have been posted on various social media of mine. These 35 short reflections have been grouped into seven themes, namely; Children, The Cross, Jesus, Love, Mary, Neighbour and Peace.


The aim of this book is that through these seven themes, the reader reflects upon the thoughts based on my personal experiences as well as those society goes through, and let these writings penetrate into the soul. These seven themes are also presented through a short Bible quotation, to further help the reader in his reflection.


These reflections are also being presented in this book with the aim of being shared with families, in Christian groups, in schools and universities, with politicians, and with anyone of good faith and in search of the Lord. I hope that these short reflections bring hope, courage, spiritual growth, healing and above all, that through them the soul be able to glorify God.


Thank you for making time to read this book and I wish each reader the blessings of the Lord.

Mankind. Humanity. Ever since the creation of man, ever since man started to discover the earth, ever since he reached every corner of the world, man has ventured out to conquer land, to develop himself and his surroundings. Over the centuries, ever since Adam and Eve, ever since the first fall of man from his Creator, man has faced the pain of suffering which is with us till this present day.

 

Man has always strived to improve his life, has been attentive to safeguard himself, his family, his land, his country. History has shown us how man has ruled the world. Kingdoms were set up in every continent, ruling for power, to safeguard their land, to safeguard their wealth.

 

Kings have come and gone. The world has seen different kings across the globe. Kings whose life is known for their good deeds to mankind, other kings who brought destruction to their kingdom.

 

The world has evolved, has changed. Kings are not as powerful as they used to be. Kings are much less numerous today, having less powers, because the world has developed its political systems, where nowadays Presidents and Prime Ministers have the duty of leading their countries. But still the world talks about kings. Nowadays it is more common to talk about the king of rock ‘n roll, the king of football, the king of boxing, with full admiration of their respective followers. But still, these kings reign for a time in their particular environment and eventually fade away like all other kings, and what remains is their name written and imprinted in history.

 

As long as planet Earth exists, kings will come and go, and all would have one thing in common: that their reign is limited for a time period, only in this world. But, as long as the planet exists, and indeed beyond that time, there will be only one King who will reign forever. This King will reign all over the entire Earth, will reign without limitations of time and borders, will reign forever and beyond the universe.

 

This King is the King of the peripheries.

The story of the Road to Emmaus is a very interesting and well-known passage in the Gospel. It is a story that takes place just a couple of days after the crucifixion of Jesus. It recounts the episode of two men who were travelling the road to Emmaus, when a third man, out of nowhere, joined them on their way. Where had this man come from? Who was this mysterious man and what did he want?

This book will go into the spiritual meaning behind the story of Emmaus. It will use the author’s imagination of what went on during the walk of the three men, what was discussed and what the outcome of the journey was.

The third man of this story had a significant impact upon the spiritual life of the other two men. What was this spiritual impact all about? In today’s society, is the story of the road to Emmaus, still significant? How can the story of the road to Emmaus play an important role for the evangelisation of the world, to share the Good News in the peripheries of today’s society?

All this will be explored in this book. This book will bridge what happened 2,000 years ago on the road to Emmaus and translate that message, that spiritual experience for today’s readers.

 Thank you for making time to read this book.

‘Come to Me’. To whom? For what? Why?

To whom shall we go in situations when we are down, depressed, experiencing a lack of faith, in despair and in pain? Who can help us when we find ourselves in these situations, when life is difficult, and we are hurt by people around us? Who can help whenever one cries out of fear of being abused or ill-treated? Who can help all those who are caught in the dungeon of drugs, prostitution, corruption and other unfortunate situations faced by today’s society? To whom shall we go in moments like these?

Throughout the different generations, ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, mankind has always been in search of peace in one’s heart. The fall of mankind to the kingdom of darkness, brought suffering to existence. Mankind fell into the trap of darkness, and this darkness took control, only until light overpowered such darkness.

This ‘light’, called all mankind by their name, and in man’s heart called out: ‘Come to Me’. Jesus, the ‘light’, keeps searching for each person’s heart, even if found in the pit of darkness. It infiltrates the hearts of all mankind through His love, by calling each person by name, saying ‘Come to Me’.

The aim of this book is to encourage the reader to respond to this calling of Jesus, to listen to His voice and to realise that even if man is shrouded in the darkness of evil, His ‘light’ penetrates the human heart. ‘Come to Me’, are three simple words that if accepted by any person, by responding to the Lord, by accepting His invitation, in return will receive from Jesus His peace, love, comfort and care. So, it is up to the reader to respond to His calling… ‘Come to Me’.

 Thank you for making time to read this book.

While I was writing my previous (published) book ‘In His image’, I felt a big desire in my heart to write a book about Mary… the Mother of Jesus. Mary is not only the Mother of Jesus… but also the Mother of all humanity, your Mother, my mother.

Reflecting upon the different talks about Mary that I have listened to over the years, the books I have read about her, the Bible where she is hardly mentioned, and reflecting about my personal experience of Mary, one thing that has overwhelmed me the most about Mary is, ‘Her Silence’.

This book intends to deepen the relationship of the reader with Mary through ‘Her Silence’… through the journey of her life, of her silence when being joyful, when being in pain, her silence in doing the will of God. On this journey, imagination will help the reader to discover what Mary went through in her silence. Most probably, what Mary went through in her silence, is what any other loving mother or father goes through when being with their children, when caring for and loving their children, in the good times and in the difficult times. Furthermore, Mary also represents all other persons who in different capacities take care of people in need.

I hope that this book will help the reader to discover Mary in one’s life. Upon discovering her the reader will in return, through the love of Mary, discover Jesus in a personal way or deepen that experience which already exists. By discovering ‘Her Silence’, the reader will also discover in an intimate way the Love that God the Father has for each person in the world.

Thank you for reading this book.

Living in today’s society brings with it various challenges for everyone. These challenges partly result from the evolvement over the years of the way people think, live and interact together. Different ideologies are widely expressed and practiced in the world. Cultures from all over the world are easily found in many countries, as people move and settle in different parts of the globe. Political views and the decisions taken by politicians also play an important part in how society develops and transforms itself through time. Society is also heavily impacted by the different ideas, beliefs, faiths and religions practiced by different groups of people, by individuals who do not always aim to live in peace, with respect, with love.

Taking a snapshot of society would produce an image revealing what people practice and believe, and especially the nature of their culture and traditions, which at times may condition their lives. Society is the result of all this. With all the good and bad intentions, the goodwill and bitterness expressed by people, society portrays an image of who the people actually are, it portrays an image of what its people are really going through, and thus, of what fabric society is made up of.

For me as a Christian, today’s society has a very distorted image of God; an image that is blurred; it is a society that has lost its focus of who God really is, while at the same time searches for another god to connect to. It is a society confused by the different ideologies brought forward and practiced by a number of people in different ways throughout the world. These ideologies are not based on the love of God, or the values which Christians try to live and nourish in their lives. In my personal opinion these ideologies tend to exclude the genuine interest of a person in one’s neighbour, and instead encourage one to focus on oneself, where greed dominates hence minimizing the possibility of true love of neighbour from being extended throughout the nations. Today’s society lacks living in the image of God, lacks unconditional love, lacks the fresh air of true life.

 This book will mainly focus on man as being created on the image of God. It will try to explore and share my thoughts about what it means to live ‘In His image’. If people truly lived ‘In His image’, there is a big chance that society would be a better place to live in. Harmony and peace would be the norm, as it is meant to be according to God’s plan of love for mankind. People and nations would respect each other through reciprocal love.

I hope that this book will, in a modest and humble way, bring to you the joy, the fulfilment, the happiness that is lived by a person, whenever one understands more the beauty of living in the image of God. Living ‘In His image’ is living in His grace and peace, it is bringing and transmitting the love of God to others.

Thank you for reading this book.

 Over the past years, ever since I started interacting on social media by sharing my faith, writing short reflections about life has been uplifting to me and to the readers. By time, since 2012, I have embarked on writing monthly reflections and posting them in various social media platforms. These reflections which reflect my Christian faith have been read by numerous persons, persons who at times have also expressed their gratitude towards my thoughts.

This Christian book, ‘Spiritual Reflections’, gathers these monthly reflections written over the past two years. These reflections were based on my personal experience of life, on experiences of my friends and relatives; they are about different social issues, but above all these reflections were written in a way to increase the faith of those people following Christ or seeking Him in their life. The intention of these thoughts is for the reader to stop and meditate upon the reflection he picks, and to seek God through personal prayer.

I hope that you will enjoy them, and that they will help increase your faith, your relationship with God and with your neighbour. May you find peace in these reflections and in turn, share it with your family and friends. Thank you for reading this book.

Although the title of this book is 'Waking up the sleeping giant', it does not narrate a fairy tale about a beautiful princess who marries the most charming and rich prince, after succeeding to run away from a giant that himself wanted to marry the princess. This book is about the reality of the ‘sleeping giant’, and the consequence it brings to today’s society.

‘Waking up the sleeping giant’ is a challenge to be taken up by many people. If this giant really wakes up, society will have a chance to experience a breath of fresh air that gives life a worthy cause and a meaningful reason to live. One might ask but who is this sleeping giant? What does this sleeping giant have to offer if upon wakening, the world can be a better place to live in?

This sleeping giant can refer to you, to a family member of yours or maybe to some of your friends. The sleeping giant can represent Christians who, although they do good things in their lives, being active in the church and in the community around them, are still not doing God’s will in their lives.  The sleeping giant can be those of us who in the moment of truth to proclaim the Good News, to be witnesses in society and go against the current, eventually will not stand up as Christians and defend their morals and values.

The sleeping giant represents all those who proclaim that they are Christians, but through their lives hardly proclaim the Good News… they are ‘lukewarm’ in their faith.

The aim of this book is to reach out to this sleeping giant and to gently provoke and inspire the giant to wake up. This book proposes to make this giant stand up and be a witness of God’s love to society.

Life is wonderful. Not everybody would agree with this statement. Every person experiences life in different ways. There are the good experiences and the not so good experiences that a person goes through in one’s life.

Such experiences could lead a person to suffer a physical wound in one’s life. These same experiences, and others, could also lead the person to suffer spiritual wounds in his life. Wounds which distance us from the love of God also distance us from loving our neighbour.

This book will take you through this journey. A journey of exploring the spiritual wounds one could suffer in one’s life. Spiritual wounds which could be buried deep in one’s inner self, making it difficult for the individual to love one’s neighbour and to be a person of mercy. These spiritual wounds often hinder us from having a personal relationship with Jesus.

‘Heal my Wounds’ is the cry of every suffering person. In this book we shall also see how Jesus is the healer of our wounds.

 This book presents a journey towards ‘The Light’. A journey to explore what, or rather, who ‘The Light’ is. A journey to experience ‘The Light’ in one’s life. ‘In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it’. This is who ‘The Light’ is. This is what ‘The Light’ is all about. This light is for you.

 The experience of Christians who recognise and live in ‘The Light’ transforms them into a ‘whole’ person. This transformation makes them strong in their spiritual lives.  They become people who are loving, forgiving, merciful and above all, persons who share the Good News with their neighbour.
