In addition to being a handy manual and reference manuscript, this new book Virtuous Living by South African author Belinda Joubert provides the reader with a grounded framework for self-improvement and the alleviation of adversity through the usage of natural laws. Virtuous Living also touches upon the sensitive subjects of spirituality and religion, but goes on to demonstrate how the two can live comfortably side by side, providing readers with a chrystal clear roadmap for better living and a more meaningful life. This is a book to be read twice : the first time for pure enjoyment and the discovery of new ideas, the second to personalise and really make use of the many pearls of wisdom hidden amongst its pages. ~ Henning van Aswegen, Lecturer and Journalist

This book goes straight to the heart AND the heart of the matter. Belinda Joubert’s Divine guidance and wisdom offers a simple, yet profound message about how to live closer to God and at the same time touch others with virtuous living. Each word and sentence is a blessing. While most self-help and spiritual books skim the service, this one is truly heart-centered and essentially soothing and nurturing. What a gift? ~ Kobus Burger, Arts Journalist

Reading Virtuous Living will bring a sense of peace to your body, mind and spirit. This inspiring book should be on the desk of every leader of every country around the world. Without truth our work on earth is meaningless. If we are truly intend on making the world a better place, Virtuous Living should also become a set-work book in our education system. It is a handbook for life, full of wisdom and full of truth, which is sadly lacking in the world today where people are more intent on ephemeral things than the true purpose of life and helping their fellow man. Belinda is able to set the record straight and bring balance back into one’s life. She not only writes about these matters but lives her life according to these principals. We can learn a great deal from her. Margie Wilson: Widely Published Author ~ Margie Wilson, Widely Published Author

VIRTUOUS LIVING is a visionary discussion of the inescapable action and effects of God’s laws in societies when they stray and disregard the virtues that form the core fabric of humanity. The present meltdown in many economies of the world is evidence of a world in the grip of the destructive resonance of material greed and hate. The book elevates ancient wisdoms, practices and laws to a level of significance and relevance rarely found in today’s books. The book offers hope. When people live according to the laws of God they access the sweet and enduring peak experiences that only spiritual resonance can induce. ~ Daniel A Joubert, Independent Business Strategy Consultant, Author of the books Talent Management, Competitive Firms Thrive on Instinct, Write the winning CV

More profound praise for the inspiring book Virtuous Living came from a long serving dedicated top educator who after reading VL said: Virtuous Living is a uniquely inspiring book, which advises on the living of a virtuous life. It addresses all the critical day-to-day personal issues. I could not put Virtuous Living down and read throughout the night until 2 am in the morning to finish the book. I was so highly inspired that I wished that I could start immediately the following day to implement the virtues and the content that I have learned from Virtuous Living at our school. As a teacher and mother I benefited the most from the profound and inspiring information on teaching especially from chapter 16 onwards. I could not put the book down and had to read it to the end. I was and still am highly inspired and feel charged up, I am inspired to take action at to make a difference, to touch souls. I cannot wait for the school to re-open during Jan 2010 and I am going to implement the advice immediately. I trust that more schools will follow. As an educator I highly recommend readers to read Virtuous Living, Teachers and educators especially should have a copy for personal use. Cecilia A Jacobs, Educator, Pretoria, South Africa - Dec 2009 ~ Cecilia A Jacobs, Top Educator, SA

This book is written on the basis that we are spiritual beings and that our purpose is to live life fully devoted to God in a spirit of love and service. The sentence that particularly struck me was that we should always strive to be kinder than necessary because everyone we meet is fighting some kind of battle. The people who will get most out of the book are those who share the author's perspective on God; it is refreshing to see the word virtue used so explicitly and to relect on the explanation of 12 natural laws. Interestingly, the book as a whole is similar to the channelled wisdom of Silver Birch, which I have not read for many years. ~ Network Review

Good morning Belinda Here is my feed back on your book Virtuous Living, which I read on the plane to Australia and again on the way back just to get a better insight for myself. 1. Explosive reading. 2. Great insight into one’s soul 3. Brilliantly explains about one’s spiritual being. 4. Very good references given. 5. Easy to understand and put into perspective. I found the book very interesting and enlightening which is enabling me to understand my spiritual self better and how to enrich my life in the future in everything that I do. The book allows me to get in touch with my own soul and after studying the different States from 1 to 22 and Laws deeply, made me feel like I can take on life with a totally different approach and hopefully I can look at other people less harshly when they do something that I don’t like or agree with by being better within myself. Unfortunately life goes by so fast and sometimes we lose our patience and are quick to judge, which I think we all do at some stage. After any argument or condemnation we actually feel worse and if we live by explanations as given in this book we will learn to be better people. I have had the pleasure on attending one of Belinda’s Angel courses which I enjoyed very much and since then have studied and read many books on Angels and read the cards daily to uplift my life including her book AngelSense. Anything Belinda writes has an uncanny way of getting into your heart and it’s always written in such a way that you find something in it for yourself and something you can take forth into your daily life. I am very blessed to be able to say she is my friend. Keep up the good work Earth Angel I need you for a long time to come.

Hi Catherine, I hope this email finds you well! I apologise for the delay in sending you this endorsement, we have moved offices and I had no access to emails of any kind until today! Virtuous Living by Belinda Joubert, is an AWESOME book to read and to use on a daily basis.... When I first started Virtuous Living, I had to re-read the 1st 7 chapters, as it is a reality check in how we are not living our lives to our full potential... We have all somehow in our fast paced life forgotten who WE are and how our 'small' contribution, of just being us and following our inner truth CAN and WILL make an amazing difference to ourselves, Mother Earth and all those around us! If we do not start with ourselves, how are we ever supposed to influence those around us, if we are living with 'blinkers' on?? Virtuous Living is about finding YOURSELF, through making the effort and time to spend time on YOURSELF!!! In chapter 1 a quote from Mahatma Gandhi "you have to be the change so the change can happen in your life" struck a cord inside me and the reading this book has changed my life, we have to get out of our little box's and DO, stop looking at others to fix that only you can fix! You are so unique and every situation is as unique as you! That is why reading Virtuous Living is so so important.... Each of us is 'balanced', it is just trying to find the balance in this rather confusing and rushed world we allow ourselves to be in and then to maintain the balance to bring out only the BEST in YOU! What is so inspiring about Virtuous Living, is that Belinda has written the book from all perspectives and has encompassed all 'religions'.... it is not a religion specific book, it is about YOU and YOU reaching your full potential, by opening yourself up to the world of possibilities and opportunities that await you, IF you are willing to remove the 'restrictions' which have been placed on you through the thinking of others and just listen to the inner you, that is desperately trying to be heard through all the turmoil going on! The most WOW part of Virtuous Living is going through the 22 states of Natural Being and Consciousness and The Inescapable Natural Laws..... Oh my, that in itself is an awesome journey! The states are not long and drawn out and they get right to the point! We all have a purpose and by reading through, perfecting and implementing the 22 states in your daily life, you can only grow... I have read Deepak Chopra's Seven Spiritual Laws to Success, and Belinda has somehow encompassed them and expanded on the Natural Laws, which gave me a sense of completion.... Having read Virtuous Living, will open up your mind to the boundless opportunities that only you can dream of, visualise and manifest! There is no force out there that is stopping you from reaching your true potential, read Virtuous Living and reach your FULL potential! A quote from Kasmira Maharajh (a cancer patient aged 7) "When you need to choose between two paths, do not choose the easy one. That will lead you away from your destination. Even worse, do not remain indecisive and remain where you are. That will lead you nowhere" If you can read this before 2010, you will not need a 'New Years Resolution' as you will be living that which is your FULL and TRUE potential before!!! 1st and foremost learn to LOVE YOURSELF, God/ Universe/ Spirit and you have made you as you are in this physical form..... Don't change it, perfect it as only you can and live your life with love, gratitude, respect and values for yourself and others around you, and I am assured you will have the life you have always dreamed of and probably better! A quote from Virtuous Living, which we should all remember "other people may not have had high expectations for me, but I had high expectations for myself" from S. Miller! Gillian I asked my daughter Cassandra, aged 15, to give her opinion of Virtuous Living.... Virtuous Living by Belinda Joubert is a must read for all people of all ages, young to old!!! It will open up the eyes of the younger generation who have been given gifts as Indigo and Crystal children to realise that they have so much potential and for their parents and grandparents to understand that to be true to yourself you first have to understand yourself and not what others believe you are! You are unique and nobodies opinion will ever fulfill you or give you purpose unless you believe in yourself and your abilities!!! You are living your life and through reading Virtuous Living, you will realise that each person is living their own inner potential and by doing the necessary soul searching and exercises as given at the end of the book, we will as younger more wiser people be able to guide and make our space and this place a much better place for us all to live together in harmony, and the way nature intended it to be! Catherine I hope this is suitable and can be used for Belinda's book! Regards Gillian ~ Gillian Bettini, Executive - Corporate Accountant

Belinda Joubert’s latest book Virtuous Living has just been released by O-Books. The book with the subtitle ‘Honoring the Inescapable Natural Laws’ features 178 pages. She lives in Betty’s Bay, (South Africa). We are living in a time where there is a great need to convince people that a virtuous life is the best life. At present, in our country, the conditions of violence, crime and corruption thrive and there is a great need for moral standards. We are familiar with Belinda’s weekly articles in this newspaper on the ‘Inescapable Natural Laws’ that she writes about. She shares her view that when you practice morality, you conform to a standard of right, which is the divine law or highest good. By writing this review, my intention is to create space for alternative views. Although Belinda’s contribution draws strongly on the Bible it is not her only source of inspiration. Contrary to traditional Christen belief, she believes that every individual is personally accountable and responsible for what he does. You cannot take responsibility for someone else’s life or their actions. Perhaps her book offers a viable solution to individuals seeking an alternative foundation for moral conduct. New points of view are always a challenge to those who want to investigate. Belinda’s point of view is that individuals are spiritual beings and in miniature, we are all tiny fractions of God. Our spirit (a piece of God) is incarnated in our physical bodies. There is also a Godly plan for every person, which awards the person the freedom to make the contribution that life requires of him or her. The purpose of our earthly life is to maintain a balance between the spiritual, mental and physical aspects of life. The book places lots of emphasis on the growth of the soul. You must actually concentrate on inner growth because you are a spiritual being and death is only a next step in your life cycle. Belinda endeavors to explain the difference between spirit and soul. Where spirit is the supreme energy of life and the soul is the centre (or headquarters) of consciousness. Readers may also wonder about this. The inescapable laws of nature that she view as a basis for virtuous living are not so simple to understand. ‘The Great Spirit’ is the law. One of the laws is the well-known Law of Cause and Effect – What you sow you will reap. There are interesting thoughts such as that you have to experience adversity for your soul to grow. The Law of Cause and Effect means that you have to experience the consequences when you transgress the law. You can’t expect to reap tomatoes if you planted potatoes. That which you give the most attention to will grow. Fear and negativity brings growth in that direction and focus on perfect love drives away feelings of fear. You have to rise above your fears to master yourself. Twelve of these laws are described. They are: Divine Law of Compensation, Law of Cause and Effect, Law of Attraction, Law of Action and Reaction, Law of Intention and Motive, Law of Incentive – soul-growth (riches within versus materialism and wealth), Law of Awakening, Law of Justice, Law of No Interference, Spiritual Law and Manmade Laws. I trust that you will be inspired to investigate Belinda’s philosophy. Please consult the following website: www.o-books.net Belinda’s particulars are with her article.
