Gabriels Rapture is a passionate, thought provoking, and gritty exploration into how one can find peace when their life seems to be falling apart. Gabriel’s life begins in prison where he learns the power of meditation. Ready to make his way in the world, he falls deeply in love with his girlfriend Natasha. But when she becomes pregnant there are desperate attempts to save the relationship but it becomes clear that it will never work out. The baby represents his undoing, because he simply cannot imagine himself as a father at this point in time. The only solution is for them both to walk away from each other and move on with their lives. But as the baby grows and he must face the reality of fatherhood, he begins to realise that there is more to life than just happiness. Trapped within the confines of his prison cell, Gabriel soon realises that he is not alone and that there are others who have had similar experiences. He is moved by their stories and after seeing one too many friends die, he commits himself to finding a way out of his pain. After some time living in a hostel for new inmates and criminals, his first steps towards freedom begin with him walking through a new door: meditation. Gabriel embraces meditation as a way to find peace and calm the mind, but soon he realises that it might also be evidence of true connection with God. For Gabriel, this is not just about finding inner peace but to unlock the potential within himself that will allow him to rise above his past experiences. The book also explores how meditation can lead one into deeper levels of prayer and what Christian Mysticism is all about. This heart-felt story draws you in, gently at first, but before long it has you so involved in Gabriel’s life that it is hard to pull away. Awards: The book won the "Best Book of the Year" Award in the Inspirational part of the 1999 L'Echo Awards in Belgium. Gabriel’s Rapture is a great read for anyone who has been to prison, been in a mental health institution or works with the mentally ill. The book takes you on a journey from inside to outside from one man’s point of view who finds himself trapped in his own thoughts and pain. But after a while, Gabriel begins to see ways out and realises that he can begin to change his life for good. While reading, you will experience Gabriel’s life in prison and how he approaches his freedom. A great book that offers insight into prisoners’ lives and how meditation can help them to change their lives for the better. Gabriel’s Rapture is one of the most thought provoking books I have read in a long time. It tells the story of a man who is at rock bottom when he gets out of prison after serving 15 years for killing his mother. Disoriented, he tries to make sense of what has happened in this world where everything has changed since he was arrested all those years ago, except him. cfa1e77820
