Spiritual Book - Enlighted, Awake, and Alive
1 CORINTHIANS 1:26-29

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in his presence.
It’s not by chance that we are the way we are. It was foreordained for me to be called at this certain time and live under these specific circumstances. God formed me in my mother's womb not to be wise by worldly standards, not to be mighty in comparison with others, not to be noble in the eyes of haters, foolish to those that are asleep and despised by those that can’t understand. Essentially, it doesn’t matter what other people think about us. We are not perfect but, we are still children of God. It’s not about what we do for a living, how much money we have, where we came from, who our parents are or what we did in the past. It’s about who we are on the inside, spiritually. It is our character that reveals our true identity. It’s about how we treat others and what we believe to be true about ourselves. God is our heavenly father, and we are here to reveal, resemble and exemplify the image and essence of God. Love others as God loves us unconditionally, wholeheartedly and forever.

Me visiting pops in prison
when I was four years old

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Enlightened, Awake, Alive:
Looking at life from a new perspective

Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I realize that one must look at it backward to comprehend Discovering deeper life meaning maturely. When you connect the dots, you realize the purpose of what happened was why it happened. It fulfilled something within you or positioned you somewhere in God’s plan. It wasn’t happening to you, but rather for you. Everything and everyone in your life is there for a reason because it is instrumental to your prosperity somehow, somewhere, at some point.

This perspective on life, I believe, has awoken me. It’s helped me understand who I am and appreciate why we’re all so different. It is not our fault that we are who we are, we were born this way for a reason that intertwines with life. It is not our responsibility to change the world. Rather, it is our responsibility to impact it by living within our means and discovering, embrace your inner awakening and fulfilling our life’s purpose.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available.

Ephesians 1:17-20
The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling,
Imagine looking at life with a new perspective and realizing that nothing happens without reason because God is ultimately in control. Imagine finding the answers you have been looking for to make sense of it all. Imagine understanding more and more allowing you to put the puzzle pieces together.

Everything that has happened in your life has made complete sense. Everything and everyone have played a part in a divine plan that works all things together in your favor. In the end, there will have been no wrong decisions because all your choices led to a blessing that you would not have discovered otherwise, and all the bad things turned out to be blessings in disguise because they developed and contributed something good in your life.

What if you realized that no matter what happens in life, you are a child of God, an eternal, immortal Spirit offspring of the Creator of the universe and of life itself? Would you think differently? Would you live your life differently? Would you approach people and situations differently if you understood them better? Would you value yourself more if you were aware of who you are and why you are the way you are?

Manuscript Review

Enlightened, Awake, Alive: Looking at life from a new perspective.

By: Marcellous Curtis

General Overview

Through Bible studies, revelations, miracles, and a year in prison, author Marcellous Curtis discovered that there truly is more to life than meets the eye. Enlightened, Awake, Alive. shares enlightening discoveries and offers helpful advice through Curtis’s personal testimonies, correlations to the Bible, Scripture references, and more on how others can realize that they are a child of God and that He has granted them a specific purpose to fulfill during their time on Earth. The time to wake up and live is here. It is time to view life from a different perspective.

Manuscript’s Strengths

The author is an incredibly deep thinker and makes his readers, in turn, think just as deeply about life, the part God plays in every life, and the prisons we can find ourselves in (physical, emotional, or even spiritual). He raises awareness on living and on finding purpose for living, and helps to ease worried minds of readers who may have too many unanswered questions regarding their own lives and guide them to finding their answers.

The author has written a fascinating and inspiring manuscript as it reads almost like two stories combined into one. Roughly about the first half of the manuscript consists of the author’s personal stories and testimonies and then he goes on to lessons he learned from his life and shares them with his readers. This makes for a well-rounded reading experience as readers get to learn about the author and then the lessons the author learned and incorporated into his life. Readers are sure to find inspiration from these lessons and incorporate a few of them into their own lives.

Really like how the author provides brief, yet clear and concise testimonies and chapters throughout his manuscript. They provide short, yet incredibly valuable lessons for readers that anyone could read before work, during a lunch break/short break, or even right before bed as important reminders that everyone is here for a reason and God has given each of His children a purpose to fulfill on Earth.
