Judah Jah LoveHaving spent most of his life struggling with dyslexia - unbeknownst to himself - always having found reading and writing to be slow and laborious, Judah JAH Love is both delighted and stunned to have found himself writing, editing and illustrating hs own book in 2009, self-publishing it, selling almost all the 175 copies he had printed, both in the UK and Europe, while also getting copies stocked in Waterstones Bookshop, in 2018. Never having thought about writing a book, Judah had always focused on his artistic and photographic skills, while supporting adults with learning difficulties and young offenders. He did do some writing at college and university and wrote an article for "Exposure" magazine, in Muswell Hill, London, while he was producing illustrations for them in the late 90's. However, Judah found he had inherited his mother's gift of being able to meet the dead in his dreams just after his father committed suicide in 2007. Since then he has had many dream-meetings, signs and even received physical healing from departed loved ones. A combination of experiences and continual study of spiritual knowledge has lead him to the realization that death does not mean the end of life; that the mind actually survives the death of the body. Judah found that whenever he shared his ideas with people who had lost someone dear to them, the response was always like he had been the only one to say the right thing to them. When Judah met his Wife-to-be, Khabi, in 2008, he learned that she too had lost her father, so he gave her his angle on death and her response was to urge him to write a book about his ideas and experiences. So "THE COMFORTER" was written in 2009, just prior to him and Khabi heading off to South Africa, to meet her family, where they got married in 2010, in Johannesburg. Back in the UK, in 2016, Judah and Khabi were expecting their first child when tragedy struck. A mentally-ill neighbour set fire to their door, while Judah was out, trying to promote his book. Khabi was asleep in bed. She was awoken by the smoke that had filled their flat and she tried to escape, but was overcome by the smoke and flames and died in hospital, on their 8th Anniversary of meeting and at 8 months pregnant. Their daughter also died. Judah found himself really struggling with his family's death and turned to his own book for comfort. This was the ultimate litmus test. Judah was genuinely shocked by the positive effect of reading the book, which suddenly felt like he was hearing from a second party. Then came an unceasing flurry of signs of life from Khabi and even their baby, KaRa! These signs matched the type of signs from Judah's Dad, Rick, that had already been documented in the "THE COMFORTER," which further validated the signs themselves and confirmed their implications, so a new chapter had to be written to include these vital signs (pardon the pun). Judah has always had a deep interest in Ancient Egypt, prehistory, the universe and its Creator. Due to this un-ending quest for spiritual knowledge and enlightenment, Judah has always been asking himself the big questions in life, leading to some deep revelations and inspirations. "I had never thought about becoming a writer, but this message was too important to not be written down and shared, as it really does comfort people. Coping with grief is hard enough, even knowing what I know, so I can't imagine how hard it must be for those who don't have similar knowledge or experiences, so I had to set about learning about the process of self-publishing from scratch." The Comforter has received good feedback, especially from Homicide Caseworker, Mick Child. Judah had given him a copy in gratitude of his invaluable support. The next day, Judah received a call from him, saying, "I read your book last night and it's quite possibly the best book I've ever read on the subject. I've been plagiarizing your work all morning and I think your metaphors are great." Read More Read Less
