This book sheds the light of the truth of the Bible on common assumptions: "The last straw did not break the camel's back; it really got the camel going." “It's when you've worked the hardest for God that you can truly rest." All thoughts are supported by verses from the Bible. All quotations are taken from the King James Version of the Bible.
God, if you are up there, do you care? is the life story of Rosalie Ranquist who was born and grew up in coastal Maine. After losing her mother as a small child she was brought up in a foster home.

THE PARADISE MAN ACCORDING TO THOMAS MERTON
LINHXUAN VU
Since Adam and Eve left Eden, humanity has endured through long millennia of hardships and sufferings, especially death. But the hearts of their children and great-grandchildren have never given up the hope that, someday, they could return to the place of happiness that once had been their inheritance. It is a legitimate and dignied dream. In fact, since the day Adam and Eve left, paradise has remained on earth, waiting for every single human child to return. Merton’s paradise, in the last analysis, is on earth, but it is not a spacious place. It is rather an attitude of heart, a state of consciousness, in a spiritual journey. The recovery of paradise occurs when the ego in us becomes empty like a desert. The more the noisy ego diminishes, the more the paradise appears in all its beauty. In fact, this paradise is the face of God, not just an imaginary picture but the true God Himself. The more the face of our ego fades out, the more the face of God shines in his glory, might, and goodness. The desert path is more a journey within our consciousness than through geographical space and time. That is why it belongs to all people and is not just reserved for desert hermits. According to Thomas Merton, you need not be a bishop, a priest, a monk, a nun, a religious person, or a hermit to enter the spiritual journey. You may be a lay person, a normal churchgoer very busy with your daily duties, but you certainly could be a real paradise man.
