When he was ten, he had philosophical thoughts about life. He became frightened of questions such as, "Where did I come from?" "Who am I?" and "Where am I going?" He tried desperately to ignore them. He finally realized, with the help of age and study, and keen awareness that he was not being plagued with this philosophy, but rather finding an understanding of life. In addition, to discovering a unique realization of the Universe, he has undergone many spiritual events, including a vision of Jesus and an out-of-body experience. It's important now that he conveys to others what he has learned.
The Strength in Knowing is a personal, detailed narrative in obtaining true happiness and near ultimate awareness through an ongoing understanding of existence. In addition, the book, derived from Appt's life experiences, offers an interpretation and depiction of a fresh, essential path to a heightened understanding of belief systems, love, peace, joy, and personal and spiritual development--as well as their application. This book is his quest to convey a learning experience that others can utilize in hopes of having a better understanding of their life and it's meaning, and that no one need fear existential questions. This understanding and road to a higher level of consciousness, described in his book can be gained through techniques such as meditation and a self-observed mind, and a specific path conveyed by the author which can enrich lives and grant the peace that is essential to a fulfilled existence.
Appt believes his profound yet simple teachings in this book will interest a majority because of the honest, in-depth practical knowledge regarding life, purpose, and meaning. It tackles a subject that sparks everyone's interest, written from personal experience in a language that is easy to absorb. He is ready to provide more of a contribution from his life than simply "being a good person." Although his book satisfies this desire, it, more importantly, offers the reader something essential--a true and precise understanding of life, and an opportunity to capture true happiness.

Review
Faith is the turning of the body, mind, and spirit to G-d in an intimate way. Faith is an act of communing with G-d that most commonly takes the form of adoration, contrition, thanksgiving, and supplication or petition. In The Strength in Knowing, I Alan Appt will teach you how to think in a way that will keep you ahead in these turbulent times and create exciting opportunities and possibilities. The book will take you places you've never been before and get you to think in ways you've never thought before.
Awareness is also a process of orienting ourselves toward G-d in a way that reveres G-d's almighty power and goodness and habituates us to look to G-d.Yet awareness also, perhaps even more so, guides us to look within ourselves for everything.
Appt's life experience is manifested in his writing, and his writing will show you that you cannot change your life until you change things you do daily. When your thinking is unlimited, so is your potential. Appt's new awareness is a true revelation, and Appt will explore and identify the specific skills you need to make your potential for success explode into results.
The content of this book is the fruit of Appt's many life experiences, high and low. The material is aimed toward preparing people not only for the difficult times that may lie ahead, but also for the era of peace of mind and peace of heart in finding oneself. This book assists the reader step by step to make the journey from the head to the heart. By exploring and analyzing yourself, you will enable a better tomorrow and enjoy the real fullness of life. Unless a person consciously strives to go counter-culture, it is impossible to experience such a change until you battle against yourself. In reading the various sections of this book, try to keep the faith. Faith is often birthed out of difficulties; allow yourself to explore faith if you are experiencing difficulties.
This book can help you approach life after good or bad times with a completely new perspective. The truth and power ring deep in every sentence. The Strength in Knowing leads the way to find our best and highest place within our self, with the hope and intent of a true transformation.
Appt's book is an exceptional one that promises to make a positive difference in our lives. It will engage you and demonstrate to you how people can live with integrity using self-awareness and beliefs as guidelines, regardless of religion, culture, or circumstance.
