Readers are encouraged to fulfill purpose for ‘Our Trip to Earth’

Michelle Cheri Jardine explains very simply that humankind’s journey to earth has meaning

 

SALT LAKE CITY — Michelle Cheri Jardine is a firm believer that there is purpose to life's challenges and that people always have help and guidance around them to make positive differences in their lives and in the lives of others as well. In line with this, Jardine penned “Our Trip to Earth” (published by Balboa Press), a book affirming that life has purpose and meaning. Through spiritual connection and guidance, humanity can make a difference in life on Earth.

 

According to Jardine, “Our Trip to Earth” explains very simply that humankind’s journey to earth has meaning and purpose, and that people all have help around them to provide guidance for a successful adventure here.  

 

“In a world where we are always seeking connection to others through electronic devices, this book provides a message and means for connection to others and spirit—that can be achieved without electronic devices,” says Jardine on her book’s relevance in today’s society. Furthermore, the author clarifies that the book is non-denominational and encourages readers to seek a uniquely individual path in life.

 

An excerpt from the book:

There are many different reasons to come to Earth. We all come to be better people and to make life on Earth better for everyone.
