Produktbeschreibung

The world has been reeling under the COVID-19 pandemic. Most individuals are already struggling to balance all the responsibilities and obligations of life amid the pressures of society encouraging materialism, hedonism, and egoism, leaving little time for self-reflection and introspection. The pandemic has thrust individuals into isolation cornering them to endure the loss of time and loved ones, providing no time or opportunity to reexamine priorities and beliefs. This book was written to remind each of us that it is important to appreciate the gifts we have been given by God: to be grateful to the known and unknown people who have helped us grow up; to be grateful for the smells that remind of us of the sweet memories of our past; to be grateful for the feel of the sunshine on our face; to be thankful to nature, animals, and pets; to be grateful for the feel of water falling on our skin on a hot day; to be grateful for the taste of food around the dinner table that bring us closer together; to be grateful for the time we have had with those we care for. This book is written to remind us to be grateful for the gift of life given to us by God.

Autorenporträt

Matthew Palai was born and raised in India where he studied in a seminary to become a Catholic priest; however, God had other plans. He left the seminary, joined the Indian military, became an electrical engineer, and then immigrated to the United States in the 1980s. In the United States he worked for various government agencies including Mass Transit, Department of Public Welfare, Department of Corrections, and the Department of Health. His hobbies include reading and observing the world around him for correlations between conduct and religious practices. His first book, The Lord's Prayer: Live it or Quit Saying It, was written to educate his readers on the importance of the Lord's Prayer. This recent book, Psalms of COVID-19, was written to emphasize the importance of gratitude to others who help us to lead a happy life and to thank God for all the gifts he has bestowed upon us.
