More About the Author

To date, Roskind, his wife, Julia, and their 19 year-old daughter, Alicia, have organized and hosted 74 of these "One Love Events" in Jamaica and on Native American reservations, colleges and at public venues in the U.S. All are non-commercial, involve no sponsorship funding and are free to the public. They are non-denominational, apolitical and bring forward a message of universal love for all.
Their latest event was on February 6, 2005, Bob Marley's 60th Birthday Celebration, in Kingston, Jamaica with a live audience of tens of thousands and a TV and radio audience of almost two million. It included presentations by the Jamaican head of state, Governor General Sir Howard Cooke, the Minister of Education, the Minister of Tourism, Bob's daughter, Stephanie Marley, many conscious civic leaders and talk show hosts and twenty well-known recording artists also performed including Bunny Wailer, Culture, Luciano, Ernie Smith and Abijah.
These events have often led to a community-wide healing. Their five events on the Hopi reservation in Arizona led to the Hopis defeating reservation gambling and preserving their ancient ways. Their two events on the Havasupai reservation on the floor of the Grand Canyon led to the tribe electing a pro-environmental tribal council committed to protecting the Canyon. In Jamaica, their 54 concerts brought a much-needed message of love to a country in turmoil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Work of Truth, May 25, 2001

This review is from: In the Spirit of Business: A Guide to Creating Harmony in Your Work Life (Paperback)

This book describes wonderfully how to apply the principles of Truth as illuminated in "A Course In Miracles", as well as other great works of Truth, to your career. Although the author doesn't refer to ACIM directly, the principles of Truth are constant and never changing, and this book, and ACIM illuminate the Truth.

This book gave me a deeper understanding of ACIM principles. Like Truth, it will show you the way to happiness. There doesn't need to be any conflict in your career and what you are. Doing what was meant for you to do is the challenge, and once you know the Truth of What-Is, it becomes very easy - and natural. I applaude the author for sharing his insight into this important area of our lives here on earth.

The last chapter entitled "How Does The World Work?" is one of the best pieces of spiritual writing I've ever come accross - truely inspired.

This review is from: In the Spirit of Business: A Guide to Resolving Fears and Creating Harmony in Your Worklife (Paperback)

I find this book to be a very usefull and insightfull introduction to the scene which exists behind our normal work experience.

It investigates our basic motivations in serveral areas connected to the field of work. It relates them different to world pictures we can hold. It also dives deep into several main beliefs we normally have about work.

In this book, underlying driving forces and fears are brouht up to the level at which one can deal with them in a helpfull manner.
