What if God looked exactly like you—but was smiling? In God Made Me from Spare Parts, Tji transforms personal catastrophe into thirty dreamlike encounters with the divine. These short, philosophical stories unfold as modern parables—blending spiritual fiction with emotional truth. Written while grieving his father’s death and stranded far from home, this collection explores mortality, self-worth, and the search for meaning with warmth, honesty, and unexpected humor. Each parable is brief, but the deeper meaning lingers. Together, they dismantle the quiet fears that shape our lives: the terror of dying unfinished, the shame of an imperfect body, the paralysis of indecision, and the grief of losing someone too soon. The humor is real. The sorrow is real. And the wisdom arrives sideways—just as it tends to when it truly lands in our life. This is not a book of answers. It is a book of better questions— asked in the dark, by someone who needed them badly enough to write them down. Perfect for readers seeking inspirational spiritual books that explore grief, identity, and the deeper questions of life. “Witty and wise, this small book is a treasure.” — Deepak Chopra “A delightful collection of wisdom… a quick and easy way to get in touch with deep truth.” — Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God “If you’re ready to meet God in an unforgettable way, read and re-read this soul-touching book.” — Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.
