A tragedy of war nearly destroyed my life, but a force intervened and has guided me on an incredible lifelong journey. My Near-Death Experience took me to the place where Spirit meets the Universe and showed me that we can all be enlightened, regardless of religious beliefs. Come join me on this journey and learn how Spirit taught me to overcome overwhelming odds and find my purpose in life. In this book, I share with you the insights and lessons learned from an excursion into a dimension of enlightenment, and my return home from the hell of combat.”
