Echoes of a Voice: We Are Not Alone

Description: Early evening a young boy alone on his pony on the rim of the Nebraska Sandhills. Three darkening thunderclouds rising higher and higher on the horizon. An electric atmosphere a quickening light cooling breeze. A slight shiver and the boy wonders Am I being pursued by the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost? These sudden unbidden unexpected strange experiences. We all have them. What are they? Mere plucking on the emotional strings of our material selves? Or do they have a deeper meaning? Do they signal the Presence of something other maybe some Other maybe some one Other some thing or some one above below beyond our normal waking consciousness? James W. Sire has studied a massive number of these accounts. He pairs them with his own experiences and turns to scientists philosophers and theologians for explanation. These experiences he concludes are signals of transcendence or what N. T. Wright calls echoes of a voice--the voice of Jesus calling us to follow him into Gods new world. This book is an account of the authors journey to this conclusion.
