New Zealander Stanley David Rainbow
has put together a collection of ideas and thoughts that he believes
were sent by God to inspire him and others. The “quotations” as he
calls them are offered as single sentences, followed by a slightly
longer explanation or “understanding.” Some of the quotations are about
purely spiritual matters, such as, “When on earth all human beings must
be prepared for God’s words.” The author follows this with the comment:
“As a human on this earth we must be ready for God’s words sometime in
our lives.” An example of a quotation about more mundane but important
matters is, “There’s always a fine line between insanity and genius,”
followed by the amplification, “There is always a thin line between
being sane or insane as a person we do not get a paper to say which we
are.” Many of the quotations speak of the struggle between God and
Satan, with warnings about the wrong path. The briefest of the
quotations, no less significant for its length, is, “No God no life.”
Rainbow’s book is short and easy to read; each quotation is presented
in large type and underlined in red, with the augmenting comment
underneath, of smaller but still quite readable size. There is no doubt
of the author’s sincere wish to share his revelations for the guidance
and benefit of others, though some readers might wish to know more
about the process by which the sayings came to him.
A simple, comprehensible group of statements on religious and earthly matters that affect us all, God Inspired Quotations and Understandings may aid those on a spiritual quest.
