Book excerpt: Richard Ferguson grew up a rough kid in a rough neighborhoodand yet he went on to become a Reiki master with a pilots license and two masters degrees. How did he rise above his early circumstances? It started with a godly epiphany high in the sky above the Paci?c Ocean. Since then, he has been a spiritual seeker, and, as the good book says, those who seek will ultimately ?nd. Follow his riotous path in A Real-Life Christian Spiritual Journey. Fergusons Christian transformation was not immediate. Once upon a time, he hated everything to do with religion. Part I uses Fergusons life journey as a template for the paths of all human life. We all go through stages, and each stage equates to who we ultimately will be and what we will believe in. Part II traces the unity of our stages in the earthly realm. Part III sets foot into the great beyond. Ferguson lost his wife to death, but he has come to realize that death is not an ending; it is a graduation to a higher, more joyful existence in eternity. With the guidance of psychologists Erik Erikson and James Fowler, as well as spiritual greats St. Paul and the Buddha, Ferguson looks back on a life well livedproving that when you seek ?rst a higher power, all knowledge will be given to you.
