The New Testament says we should be like children. Marshall Ball is God's example to us of the open heart of a child. This is how God speaks to us and shows us how He wants us to be, open to His thoughts and wishes. I was profoundly touched by the clarity of Marshall's listening. For those of us of who seek to know God, Marshall shows the way. He speaks of learning to be a good listener, thinking good thoughts that grow love and harmony. "Poetry is a magnificent kindness of the heart." Perhaps, poetry of all writings speaks heart to heart and is not a exercise of cynicism or a bending of wills or of the mind. Mashall is a pure soul who speaks with a clear voice.
The Kiss of God is an incredibly beautiful book. It is thekind of book that you want to refer to again and again as well as tohand it out to other people. Marshall's writing and poetry conveysensitivity, awareness, comfort, and upliftment and are amazingly profound. I read the book in one sitting and was crying through most of the book! I was so touched at a deep level. The simplistic messages of the beauty of God and of love come across so sweetly. Marshall's insights and caring are remarkable for a young child. He is truly gifted. God has blessed him and in turn Marshall has blessed us with God's messages. It is said that our children are indeed our teachers and this child, so filled with love, teaches purely from the heart. The wisdom contained in his writings, reminds one of an "old soul". I commend his parents and relatives for fostering his talent and thank them for allowing the rest of the world to bask in Marshall's teachings of love. Marshall's "poetry is the magnificent kindness of the heart".In the forward by Dr. Laurence A. Becker, I was so moved by his reflection of Marshall's parents. "I am convinced that it came about primarily through the powerful and unconditional love of his family who refused to see him as incomplete in any way. They acted toward him as the perfect being they see him to be. They acted as though he were already the magnificent being he has come to be."And as Marshall says, "Will we free the world to think perfectly about the listening and marvelous children?" Just imagine the possibilities for future generations if our love were indeed unconditional.I found this book to be a great comfort for me at this point in my life. I learned so much from this angelic teenager and now I am learning how to listen. I cannot recommend this book enough and I know that the reader will be profoundly moved on many levels.Marshall you are a gift to us all and I eagerly anticipate your next book! Just please don't wait too long!
Those who do not accept the messages that are being brought to us at this most spiritually significant time, are those not yet ready to understand. Marshall is certainly not the only soul who has manifested into physical form in order to remind us of our origins and our destination. He shows us the simplicity of Spirit and assists us in remembering the connection to Home.All belief systems are valid and are simply different flavors of the same truth. Marshall shows us with profound clarity that we are all on the same journey, and will eventually arrive at the same destination, no matter which beliefs we cling to in the here and now. It is so true - as Marshall says, when you judge others, you judge God.
This book has the most original thought. It can't be compared to any other. It makes you go beyond the words to pure ideas. You can't say there is a particular philosophy in his writings, but you are made to realize a truth. That is the beginning of all understanding. He makes the truth so simple that any sincere seeker will be able to see it. Maybe it makes us listen so we can hear the truth. Marshall doesn't give the answers. He gives you just enough to trigger your already known understanding about life. It seems like a charge given to us, but we have to figure it out. Some say his style is elliptical. There are different people that help Marshall with his writing They do this by cradling his elbow in their hand. It would be impossible for three or four different people to all have the same style of writing. Why do some doubt this boy's ability? It is truly his gift.
