OUTPOSTS OF THE SPIRIT by William M. Justice
$12.95 We're awash in reports of the paranormal, in accounts of out-of-body experiences, telepathy, precognition, astral traveling, channeling, angel sightings, and more. But how can we separate the real from the imagined? How do we make sense of it all? William Justice, who spent his life in the Protestant ministry, provides the ideal escort through the world of the paranormal. Admitting his own brush with the mystical, Justice surveys and validates many of the claims for transcendent experience and psychic phenomena. In a warm, friendly, and tolerant manner, he identifies each "outpost of the spirit," each new marker of the expansion of human consciousness into the vastness of creation. All of these outposts of the spirit, says Justice, are examples of "going within to communicate," of finding new ways to achieve "communion with God" as indicated in the New Testament, and are thus fully consistent with Christian belief, and Biblical guidance. Justice's gallery of spiritual travelers includes figures both renowned and obscure, from scholars to householders, across almost a century. Justice draws on his interviews with key figures, such as Edgar Cayce, the reports of other travelers and Christian colleagues, and the published accounts of numerous otherworldly explorers, treating each with fairness and insight.
