Life Is so Precious Kindle Edition

In this incredible book, Alton E. Pete raises awareness to a number of imperative topics people are facing today. Pete shares personal tips and advice on how to deal with family issues, adversities and more. Petes purpose for writing this book is to encourage individuals to get back on track, to believe in the values of life itself and the importance of life.


With the fast pace of todays world and its technological advances, many are overwhelmed and functioning under high levels of stress. However, life gives back what we put into it. Just about everyone gets stuck between lifes shifts and curves at one time or another, which happens to change our style.


Pete expounds upon a period in which he overcame several adversities that had him asking God, why me?.


Through such trials he came to the realization that when God has a plan for your life, you can try to run but you cant hide. Ultimately, God desires to get glory from and through your life. So, when you are feeling weak, repeat to yourself that you are strong.


We dont always have to wait until the holiday seasons are here. We can express so many forms of love every single day to as many as we can. Lose the fear. Its ok to be aware, just dont let your love for one another slip or fade away. Instead, let the brotherly love and the sisterly love continue; we are helpers of one another. Lets demonstrate and show the compassion of Gods love everywhere.


On this journey, when your direction in life leaves you feeling a little weary or vulnerable. Remember, there is hope for the hopeless. God is still a father to the fatherless, hes God enough to be a mother to the motherless. Hes also a Perfect friend to the friendless.


Enjoy!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Alton E. Pete is retired from the United States Army. Born and raised in the Bay Area, he graduated from El Cerrito High School. After a couple of years in college, he later joined the army in 1987. He started his military career at Fort Lewis, Washington; was stationed in Hanau, Germany; and went on various assignments throughout the States and Puerto Rico.

He went on one very long, dangerous tour in Iraq and retired from the army out of Fort Irwin, California, in 2014. He is a people person and has a sincere, genuine love for all cultures regardless of backgrounds. He is a community supporter for the homeless, the less fortunate, and families that are struggling.

Like his mother, he enjoys giving to see someone smile and restoring the love back in their hearts. He’s currently back in college to pursue his master’s degree in music and then a PhD.

Real gold goes through the fire and becomes pure gold once it is transformed or transfigured out of the fire—more than we can fathom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting...Encouraging

This book takes you on a personal journey into the authors personal life and military experiences. It starts off positive and uplifting with “Quotes and Phrases”. It journeys you through his personal relationships with those that inspired him along the way. Then you journey through a glimps of his military experience. It took me on an emotional rollercoaster (in a positive way). I felt joy, concern, uplifted, humble, faithful, and inspired.
Closer to the end he takes you in a different direction; a glimps into a relationship fairytale, “Paradise and Joy from a Sunday Love.” I see a romance novel coming next.... possibly?

It’s takes courage to write your heart and soul on paper for the world to judge. Kuddos to the author for sharing his personal story.

Thank you

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Life Is So Precious
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2021
This book is a generational roadmap for life. I found the stories spiritually compelling and inspirational. It gives guidance to people of different backgrounds and environments and emphasizes the continuing need to connect to each other.
After reading this treasure trove, I am smiling from the inside and outside. I have recommended this book to anyone who needs to find a purpose in life.
The author exudes moments of enlightenment and joy to anyone who is touched by the mere presence of others. His commitment to God and his faith is unquestionable as he struggles with his decisions to make an impact on the soldiers at his side in the battlefield.
His experiences during his deployment in Iraq have congealed his everlasting lifetime devotion to his faith and to God.
He creates an atmosphere of healing for the reader. I felt that the author found the need to go beyond his mission and strife with his fellow soldiers by reaching out and touching their hearts.
His experiences commanded more than surviving and returning to his Homeland by the awakenings that led him to understand the concept of "Life Is So Precious" and why his presence in fighting this war has solidified his beliefs in a higher authority.
He was given the gift of the love of his soulmate as a reward sent straight from God and Heaven by virtue of his sacrifices and allegiance to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely inspirational!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021
“Life Is So Precious” is a wonderful journey into the military and personal life of the author. I experienced so many different emotions while reading it, such as feelings of joy, happiness, triumph and faithfulness. It really inspires me to stay grounded and always do my best to think positively no matter what obstacles come in my way. It’s all about how one responds to difficulties. We all have choices. If one does the necessary work to hone one’s skill set, and/or further develop one’s mind on a psychological level, for example, anything’s possible. It’s also important to speak and think positively no matter what happens. You just have to believe in yourself and have faith. We all have the power to change things in our life from negative to positive. It’s all about how we respond to these situations in our lives. Through faith, love and hard work we can do anything. I definitely recommend this book! Stay Up! 😌

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019
Thoughts, feelings are expressed and clearly communicated throughout inspirational stories. The stories seem simple at the beginning, but then the author unfolds his message with a quick twist. The messages or lessons will keep your mind occupied for hours and days. The author includes excellent Bible references, as well.
