This book is unique in the sense that the author, Andra Pickett, actually seeks the message that is embodied in each spoken word or words written herein. The author has challenged the soundness of a tradition that says the spoken word is the spirit of the message. Ironically, he advances the notion that the opposite is true, and that the message is the spirit of the word. In the first chapter for instance, the sub-title: in the search to find one's self, the message is unrevealed, but is it, for example the unrevealed message is that a man's shadow carries his burdens. The author in this book seeks to reveal the messages hidden in words throughout all 21 short chapters, spoken words, short stories and poems. The concept of The Message Seeker is interesting, but reading this book requires one to carefully read with an open mind. The messages that are unrevealed in the sub-titles are indeed revealed from within the content of the chapters. The author and the reader experience, the message seeker's journey through what turns out to be a true story. As you read this book you are mystified by the author's ability to stand beside him self, also, to blend words together as he seeks to reveal the hidden messages contained therein unto his own understanding. Remember, when reading this book; read with an open mind, an enter voice reveals each hidden message that lies beyond consciousness in each word(s). Be prepared to encounter a unique experience in reading this true story written by Andra Pickett. http: //www. bookpubco. net Arthur Stovall, Ph. D.
