Richard Ferguson grew up a rough kid in a rough neighborhood-and yet he went on to become a Reiki master with a pilot's license and two master's degrees. How did he rise above his early circumstances? It started with a godly epiphany high in the sky above the Pacific Ocean. Since then, he has been a spiritual seeker, and, as the good book says, those who seek will ultimately find. Follow his riotous path in A Real-Life Christian Spiritual Journey. Ferguson's Christian transformation was not immediate. Once upon a time, he hated everything to do with religion. Part I uses Ferguson's 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 lived-proving that when you seek first a higher power, all knowledge will be given to you.
