Our Invisible World: Reflections on the Awesome, Loving Power of God Within Each of Us

By Bill Anderson and Annie P. Clark

There exists within each one of us unseen forces that are made up of feelings, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, memories, and fears that influence our visible world, moment by moment. Yet at the center of these are the positive forces of love, joy, peace, harmony, beauty, and wisdom that are unchanging in their nature.

In Our InVisible World, authors Bill Anderson and Annie P. Clark share a collection of inner revelations of the awesome love of God as well as the power always available to us. They show us how to tap into this love and power and be open and receptive to knowing the truth, with one avenue being through periods of silence, and another avenue being through prayer. With both approaches being undergirded in faith, they can each help us cultivate and develop certain mental attitudes and physical practices that will support us in unleashing our natural goodness.

This world of unseen forces can become increasingly visible for you when you seek the presence of God and ask for a revelation of its truth, its beauty, and its love. With this you can experience a new appreciation for all of life, discovering a new and joyous outlookbecause there is much more to life than what we can see with our eyes or hear with our ears.

FOREWORD

The dialogue between Annie and Bill can be likened to a couple of old friends having a fireside chat on a rainy afternoon while sipping a cup of hot tea. The conversation becomes their personal testimonies of how certain passages from the Holy Bible have influenced their lives. You, the reader, are privy to their journey as you eavesdrop on their wisdom.

The authenticity of the dialogue is far-reaching. You may very well find yourself becoming an invisible participant in their conversation as you reflect on new and profound ways to interpret the spiritual inferences contained in the passages as well as consider how you may apply them to your life in a practical way. You, the reader, may very well be catapulted into contemplative meditation after each discussion.

The writers give examples of how they have deliberately or unconsciously experienced the universal principles contained in their selected scriptures by reflecting on the inner meaning. They recall their wins when they were in alignment with the concepts as well as their challenges when they were not in alignment. The Truth Principles discussed here ignite a feeling of unlimited possibilities. Each discourse ushers the reader into a deeper inquiry into his or her own spiritual convictions.

The title, Our InVisible World, suggests there exists—within each one of us—unseen forces that are made up of feelings, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, memories and fears that influence our visible world moment by moment. It further implies that a negative force may be transformed at any time by the renewing of one’s mind.

The writers reinforce the good news: there are inherent feelings/forces of Love, Joy, Peace, Harmony, Beauty and Wisdom that
