But I had read enough spiritual books to understand that God talked to all who would take the time to listen. Bernie Siegel listened. I write some, then God writes some. Nothing new, he said. It's the same stuff that's been written over and over in one culture after another, in books like the Bible and the Koran.
People continue to write the same message in book after book.
They face a personal disaster, or they get cancer, or AIDS, and they find that from the tragedy, often, comes enlightenment. That's Bernie's message. It was that message that really ticked some people off. They were loving, but they let me live my life. They brought me up with the idea of God as a redirector.
