Many of us have developed our own ways to communicate with God. We've also developed our own ideas of what God is. In The Drumbeat of Time, Harold Klemp gets us to look at our concept of God and helps us to adjust and improve our communication skills so we can be more successful in communicating with God. Klemp does this with a gentle sense of humor so, for me, it's easier to remember what he said when I fall back into the old, less successful patterns of praying to God and telling God what to do. When this happens, I remember the things he said and the way he said them and I laugh, rather than feel guilty or embarrassed about what I am doing. Then it's easier to change my habit to something more productive.

In this book, I also enjoyed the transcripts from his visit to Africa. Twice he was interviewed, once on Nigerian Television. A talk he gave to more than 10,000 people there is also in this book. During the talk, Klemp told how an African child received diving protection from death by electrocution. He also told a story about how the spiritual guidance that came with the practice of divine love overcame racial predjudice. During the interviews he discusses what happens when someone dies--what he can expect to experience after death of the physical body.

It's interesting that the book uses the Title The Drumbeat of Time, because I suspect the drumbeat was one of the earliest forms of communication and this book talks alot about communication with all life, and how to make life better by communicating better. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. John Marikos, marikos5@open.org
