HAVE ANYTHING YOU REALLY REALLY WANT

The following review by Colin Edwards appeared in the "Colines Newsletter", November 2005, Vol 2, Issue 11: MEET THE AUTHOR, BUY THE BOOK Although there are no written rules, I endeavour to keep this newsletter free of paid adverts, bad language, politics and religion. At this time of year, when the traditional religious dimension of the Christmas preparation is not totally buried under a feeding frenzy of materialism, I can breach the last rule. This month's author has personal faith at the heart of all that he does. In a moment I shall be introducing you to Dr Charles Muller as your author of the month. First though, I want to share a thought that has sometimes bothered me a little when I write articles about material success. I had a strict religious upbringing and now, I am glad that I did, although it sometimes seems to create a potential conflict of interests. You see, this background, as I understood it, implies that there is something that is somehow 'wrong' about seeking success ... and yet I am moved to write about gaining it. Charles has resolved the issue for me! He is great at giving chapter and verse, literally! He also relentlessly pursued academic degrees, a Rolls Royce and even a wife as a result of goal setting and creative visualisation. He achieved these goals without damaging his Christian integrity. He did more -- he actually used it to help him achieve them. He is the author of many books, but my selection and recommendation for this month is "Have Anything You Really Really Want!" It is a slim volume of just over 100 pages and it is an easy and fascinating read about how he did it. You can buy your copy from Amazon by clicking on Diadem Books Yes, it is subtitled 'A Christian Testimony', but please don't let that put you off. Indeed, it may even attract you! Charles is certainly no sage on a stage; neither is he a preacher in a pulpit. He is just a wonderful, down to earth, pragmatic individual who shares my interest in matters of personal discovery. I know from first hand experience that he happily goes the extra mile for his friends and clients with warmth, positive help and encouragement. Lest you accuse me of the sort of hidden agenda beloved by politicians, I openly admit that Charles is now my own publishing consultant; he is also MD of Diadem Books. That's how I discovered his own delightful book and why I know about his great qualities. By the way, there is absolutely no conflict of interests between being a good Christian and following a goal-seeking path. I was wrong and this book lucidly shows why. Whatever your faith, denomination or leaning and even if you have none of the above,... I believe that you will find it a fascinating read. As a business footnote, you may wonder how I found him. Over a year ago, I contacted a dozen or so possible firms and individuals on behalf of a client. Ten sent the material that I requested and two never bothered to answer. Only one took the time to send a personal reply instead of a standard package. That one was Charles Muller. My client decided to go her own sweet way, but I kept his information on file and later used it. I do not know if this chain of events was chance, serendipity or fate. As I have written elsewhere, others come into our lives when the time is right for our greater good. Colin Edwards, author of "The Star Process."
