A Book to Share  


This is the kind of book you read…   and then immediately think   -   I know someone who needs this.  

​It’s small enough to slip into a pocket, a bag, or a bedside drawer.    It’s a book to gift, to pass on, and to begin new conversations.
The brevity and simplicity of "The Twelve of One" enable every reader to be impacted by the message. To be reminded of possibilities is an inducement for daily reading (a great nightstand book). People of every background and/or religious faith can benefit from reading this small book on a regular basis.

"The Twelve of One" doesn’t just inspire change; it reassures us that we are one decision away from new and different choices. It is a book about choice—specifically the small, often unnoticed choices we make every day that ultimately shape our lives. This is a book that makes a difference! It is a great companion for anyone on a purpose-driven journey. In my opinion, this is a “must read” book!
​ Should be obligatory reading for everyone   -   Has a book of so few words ever been written with such potential to change the world for the better? I think not. It should be obligatory reading for those in power, studied by every pupil in every school on the planet. Truly a brilliant book.
Excellent tiny pocket book for everyone to carry with you everywhere, even on holiday.
When you're feeling low or wanting guidance for - Who are we? What is God? Why are we here?
Brilliant superbly written!
Lovely little book!   This is a small but profound booklet on love and the nature of being - filled with warmth and kindness.
I read this yesterday and must say it's a perfect read for this season.   A quick read that deals with 3 important questions we all need to consider.
A Masterclass -   Thank you Des, once again for a thoroughly insightful and wonderful book. A lovely spiritual journey that befits the festive season.

Why this is a book for Everyone

The Twelve of One is not tied to any religion, tradition, or belief system.   It speaks to something much deeper and more universal  - our shared human search for meaning, love, and connection.

1. It starts where you are -   You don’t need any spiritual understanding.   You don’t have to believe anything.  You can arrive with questions, doubts, certainty, or confusion.   The book will meet you in your own experience.

2. It uses everyday language -   There is no theology to learn and no rules to follow.   The insights are simple, human, and practical. They explore spirituality as something real, accessible, and relevant to daily life.

3. It offers an inclusive way of seeing God.   The Twelve of One looks at God not as a person, a doctrine, or a set of beliefs,   but as love, connection, presence, and oneness  - something available to every person, everywhere.

4. It belongs to no tradition, yet honours them all.   Whatever your religious background, you will see echoes of your own faith,   because the language of love and oneness is universal.   And if you have no religion at all, the book speaks to the inner longing we all share -   to feel connected, purposeful, and part of something bigger.

5. It encourages your own journey, not someone else’s.   The Twelve Insights simply invite you to think, pause, reflect, and explore.   You shape your own spiritual understanding.   You create your own meaning.

6. It reminds us of what unites us.   At a time when the world often feels divided,   this little book brings us back to the one truth we all share -   we belong to each other.   We are part of one love, one presence, one unfolding story.

In one sentence…This beautiful little book is for everyone because it speaks to the part of us that is already connected — the part that is love, searching for love, and becoming love.
