Review "I've just completed reading every word of Awakening in America®. What a wonderful work! Truly, I found the writing to be intriguing, easy-to-read, entertaining, and tear-jerking.

Thanks so much for sharing an early copy with me."     Angela Beasley - Author of 100 Years of Women's Wisdom and Minutes from the Great Women's Coffee Club

About the Author In 1987 Robert Taub had an MBA, an interesting job with an airline, a brand new car, some great friends, and acquaintances to travel with, and was living in the River North area of Chicago. He began, however, to become dissatisfied with his life, and discovered later that he was beginning to awaken spiritually. In 1989 he left his job to become a technology consultant and instructor, which provided him with the flexibility for what would follow. Severe health problems beginning in 1992 caused him to leave the mainstream and to engage in a semi-monastic life of reading, meditation and learning about holistic healing, while working part-time. Several days of vivid past-life recall, mystical, and near-death experience followed in February 2000, which resulted in the writing of this book, the title of which was shown to him in a dream. He lives and writes in Chicago and information on his upcoming projects may be obtained at www.awakeninginamerica.com.

Excerpts

The Family

Margaret was a careerist and had worked long hours, including many evenings and weekends, to become a partner in her law firm. Like so many women of her generation, she had believed not only that she COULD "have it all," but also that she was SUPPOSED to have it all.

Like Margaret, Emil found his life filled by challenging work and other activities and had no real complaints.

From an early age both Emil and Margaret knew that there was something special about Jennifer, beyond the normal pride felt by most parents for their children. Jennifer's face radiated maturity far beyond her years. There was also an unexplainable depth and wisdom within her eyes. Even before she could speak, Jennifer would smile and her eyes would sparkle with what seemed like an adult understanding of the events that were taking place around her.

The Joy of Service

"So, what do you see in our future?" Emil asked Jennifer.

"We're going to recreate heaven on Earth, and much more, by helping everyone else to heal, and to awaken, who wants to. Exactly how we do it is up to us, and you can probably see what the potentials are for us to help out in the short term as well as I can," Jennifer said.

"This is going to be so much fun and we are going to have the best time. This is going to be our best life together, ever!!" Jennifer said with absolute conviction.
And so it was.
