SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT From the publisher.
Getting From “Good” to “Great”
By Ryan Bruce
Our primary purpose is to provide a medium by which Brad Cullen’s articles and books are made available to as broad a readership as possible, to help him accomplish his mission which is to be an instrument to direct people “back home” to their SPIRIT-PARENT SOURCE (by whatever other title or name).
Brad’s mission in life has become my personal, as well as one of my companies’ missions …and I have been prayerfully and carefully considering how to do this more effectively.
Your/our (all inclusive) SPIRIT-PARENT SOURCE, whom I have recently got into the habit of referring to as “Daddy,” is definitely leading me into a new direction related to the basis upon which the publishing arm of the company operates. Allow me to provide a little background:
Brad has just written, what to me is, one of the most powerful books he has ever written.
Brad’s new book is called “The Unrecognized YOU …Discovered” with the subtitle of “What Now?” Below I am going to make an offer that hopefully you cannot refuse. But I’m getting ahead of the background:
Back in April I offered to set up a website, at no cost to Brad, in exchange for which he graciously agreed to write articles and allow our telephone conversations, related to some of these articles, to be recorded and posted as “podcasts” on the website.
During the process, my life has been dramatically altered, as he encouraged and challenged me to adopt some of his “prayer” practices, which I at first had resisted. This change in me is evidenced in some of the podcasts.
I have received enough e-mail from literally all around the world to know that the website is having a powerful impact on many others as well as what it is doing for me. Some of these e-mails have demonstrated the truth of what Brad has been saying for so many years: The presence and power of the same SPIRIT-PARENT SOURCE that Jesus said spoke and performed miracles through him is available to anyone who wants it and who is willing to be transformed by HER/HIM/IT will be transformed to be and do what Jesus said anyone who believes enough will do, which is the seemingly “impossible.”
One of these e-mails, from an island nation in the Pacific, caused me to call Brad and exclaim that “good” things were happening, but I wanted to see Daddy do “great” things!
We agreed to “pray” together, I practically yelled into the phone, “Daddy we want to see great things happen!” The conversation came around to the fact we are already doing the seemingly impossible on several fronts. The results of the website, for example, are miraculous, when compared with any typical Internet “success” model. Certainly far more than my original expectations and projections …it is a blessing and being blessed by visits in numbers that are not only beyond my natural ability to generate, but to even believe.
I believe the SOURCE is revealing to me to invite you to be a part of “great” with us. I am going to make Brad’s books available on the website for anyone to download on the payment basis of whatever it is worth to them individually. If it is worth nothing to you, pay nothing. If it has value to you, pay what you think it is worth. If you simply cannot afford to pay anything, take it freely as a gift from the SOURCE.
“Pay What You Want”
I only have one condition for you if you take it for Free; you must give it to at least one more person! You can send them here to download the book or email your copy to them, freely! That way you get to do something GREAT too!
Watch for the book in upcoming posts… Get ready for something GREAT!

The Unrecognized YOU …Discovered
WHAT NOW?
Chapter One
GETTING RECONNECTED
One of the true stories I love to tell on myself, even though it reveals one of my glaring flaws, is about an incident that took place while I was doing some market expansion consulting for a small manufacturer located near Las Vegas, Nevada.
As part of our agreement the company maintained a small office for me to work out of, equipped with a computer with high speed Internet access, a telephone and immediate access to any company information I required to do the work for which I was contracted: Developing new customers starting with the markets in Southern California, Phoenix, Arizona and then beyond.
One morning I was unable to get the computer I was using to boot up. I walked up to the receptionist who also functioned as the plant bookkeeper and asked her if there was someone there who took care of computer problems.
“Sure,” she said “that’s Frank and if he can’t fix it – we have an outside firm that will have someone here in fifteen minutes. FRANK, PLEASE COME TO THE FRONT OFFICE,” she intoned over the intercom and which bellowed loudly enough to overcome the entire machinery racket throughout the factory.
Just then, the president of the company walked in and said, “Hi, are you having a problem?”
“Just a minor one, I’m sure, I can’t get the computer to boot up, so Jane called Frank to take a look.”
“Let’s go see if we can get you going.”
“I’m sorry for the bother,” I sheepishly apologized.
“No bother at all, I’m anxious to get your report and recommendations so far …so let’s see if we can get you up and running,” he said, as I followed him back down the hall toward my cubbyhole.
As we arrived, so did Frank. While I stood there feeling helpless, the president got down on his knees to get under the desk to look at all the connections and to my horror and embarrassment he pushed the end of the connecting cord into the receptacle and immediately the monitor lit up and the computer went through its opening display and electronic chattering.
“Oh, wow, how stupid of me– I’m really sorry.” I stammered.
“Not at all,” he said, assuring me, and then drily added, “We certainly don’t expect you to have such technical skills.” Frank and he laughed at his joke and my embarrassment.
“What can I say?’ I said with as much good humor as I was able to muster, laughing with them.
Of course, I relived that moment over and over, asking myself why I hadn’t checked the wall outlet before creating all the fuss.
The answer was simply that I assumed the problem was technical and therefore it would take someone with a bit of expertise which I didn’t possess to fix it.
The “glaring flaw” in me that this story uncovers is that I do that with any number of things. Eve, my beloved life companion, suffers over the same flaw …I misplace something and before I take any time trying to find it – because I know I can’t – “Eve, do you know where I put my_________?” She will walk in and within seconds point to the corner of a table or chest of drawers, right on top and in plain sight voila‘ there’s the “lost” item. Why I can’t see it, is part of the flaw, I reckon.
One of the silliest things some people do when something goes wrong with an automobile, and it doesn’t start, is they lift up the hood and stare inside the engine compartment as if some bit of information will jump out to inform them what to do. Not I. I assume I know nothing and proceed to call for help.
Why that doesn’t carry over to other areas of my life could be called “faith” by some, “presumption” by others and “sheer stupidity” by yet others.
An undeniable fact, however, is that I’ve managed to live long enough – “going on eighty” is my stock answer to any query about my age …or, “I’m well past three quarters of a century,” without any medical assistance or prescribed medication. I walk or jog three to five miles most days without suffering any of the aches and pains which many of my chronological peers complain about.

My stated purpose in life is to be in complete harmony with the SOURCE of everything. What that has to do with anything is what this treatise is all about. What little professional/business expertise to which I lay claim (some even call it “genius”), is in the sales and marketing arena. The only reason I lay claim to it is for business purposes. If I told any client the truth …he or she would most likely run in the other direction.
What is the truth? I KNOW NOTHING! But I’m connected to and have complete confidence in how to access or plug into the ULTIMATE SOURCE of everything by asking: What now? That is the exact process I utilize to write. What now? …and then wait to hear the answer. I’ve written eleven books to date, one of which has been translated into several languages and has been given the credit for changing enough lives spiritually for me to have the confidence to say, “I” didn’t write it.
What Now?
—————
With utter confidence I can say that some of you reading the following are about to embark on a journey that will be the most rewarding and even exhilarating experience of your lives. Whether that is what your experience will be …depends upon myriad things, but let me give you a shortcut and secret. You ask, right now, if reading this is worth your time. My SOURCE is your SOURCE.
No need to waste your time. This is not some kind of reverse psychology or negative sell – it is simply truth. Read on or move past — it is your choice. I have no ego-involvement whatever in your outcome. I am compelled by the SOURCE to write it. If you are not being compelled by the same SOURCE to read it –don’t!

In Freedom,
