In the beginning of my literary journey, the motivation behind crafting non-fiction books lay in a transformative near-death experience during my early boyhood. Growing up in the mid-20th century, societal norms discouraged open discussions about such encounters within families, leaving me with unanswered questions about the mystical interim I experienced between life and resuscitation. Faced with a lack of support, I turned to religious and scriptural texts later in life, immersing myself in Apocryphal texts, commentaries, pseudepigrapha, Esoteric texts, and historical texts.

The 40-year research journey that followed became a profound exploration of the unknown. Traditional religious avenues offered little solace, as clergy, ministers, and preachers shied away from addressing near-death experiences that didn't align with their theological doctrines. Despite the challenges, my relentless reading and inquiry provided answers to many of my initial questions. As the internet emerged, I discovered a community of individuals who had undergone similar near-death experiences, adding a new dimension to my research. From this research I authored: Death and Back, my true story.

The culmination of my efforts led me to uncover the fascinating historical aspect of early Christian teachings on reincarnation, a doctrine that was sell known until around 350 CE. Inspired by this revelation, I decided to write a book on Christianity and Reincarnation, synthesizing my findings from four decades of dedicated research. This literary work aimed not only to share my personal journey but also to contribute valuable insights to the broader discourse on spirituality and the afterlife. People may purchase this book because they lost someone close or you know someone who is terminally ill and you're looking for answers, comfort, and reassurance.
