First Unsolicited Responses From Readers of Now or Never: The 11 Secrets of Arimathea

"I just finished reading Now or Never: The 11 Secrets of Arimathea. I'm still sitting here in amazement, letting it sink in."

Bob Gleason, Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Hey Joe -

 

I just finished your book last night and I wanted to let you know I really, really enjoyed it.  I thought it was an excellent book and very well-written.

 

... I particularly enjoyed the last part about the richest man in the world as it reminded me so much of what my father was really all about.

 

On a side note it was pretty ironic because at the time I was reading the part about living in the present, I happened to also be watching a golf tournament that tiger woods was playing in.  The announcers were talking about how Tiger is the best golfer in history, and maybe best athlete ever, in terms of staying in the present.  His focus on the current task at hand is incomparable as he never worries about the next shot or the shot that just happened.  Only the one he is working on now.  Pretty interesting stuff that can be applied to all aspects of life.

 

Thanks again for introducing me to ideas and thoughts I never realized.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Thought provoking experience, October 1, 2009 By  Samuel J. Costantino "Deacon" (Edison, NJ USA) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Now or Never: The 11 Secrets of Arimathea (Paperback) Joe Cervasio does a magnificent job in his work "Now or Never: The 11 Secrets of Arimathea". When reading scripture, we meet people who have a passing role and we are often left wondering "what ever happened to him/her? What was THEIR life all about? How did they handle THEIR encounter with Jesus and what was the impact on their lives after such an encounter? "Now or Never" breaks open our thoughts about many biblical characters and gives them real human qualities, good and bad, that many of us deal with in our own lives. A must read!

People often ask  me to rattle off the 11 Secrets of Arimathea. Now that the book is being sold in the marketplace, I tell them to take a look at the preview on-line Google, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, or Xulon. Or just come here to my  blog. 

For the less patient types from my neighborhood, I say one of the Secrets is at work in the Belleville Education Foundation commitment to the Connie Francis Gala in late October. See if you can pick the secret! And read below.
