This book is very relevant for today and is worth reading by every single person on this entire planet. It's a guide to what we're experiencing currently.

I recommend mary 's Summer Rain series. Especially important in this current political strife that we're experiencing. The two most important books are the series, Phoenix Rising, and DayBreak.
