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. Written while grieving his father's death and stranded far from home, these modern parables reframe mortality, self-worth, and human suffering with warmth and unexpected humor. Instead of simple comfort, they offer something stranger and more sustaining: a God who admits He crashed his plane when He was young. A God who keeps a drowning man company rather than pulling him out. A God who shows up in a Hawaiian shirt to explain that half a wasted life, connected to the half that remains, still makes a whole.

“Witty and wise, this small book is a treasure." —Deepak Chopra

Each parable is brief, but none is small. Together they dismantle the fears that quietly govern daily life: the terror of dying with unfinished work, the shame of an imperfect body, the paralysis of indecision, the grief of watching a good man die too soon. The humor is real, the sorrow is real, and the wisdom arrives sideways, the way it tends to when it actually lands in life. This is not a book of answers. It is a book of meaningful questions, asked in the dark, by someone who needed them badly enough to write them down.
