Condition: New

Product DescriptionThrough crazed pathos and blinding fear this is an uplifting story of humanity restored - not an easy task for a jail bird, schizophrenic and murderer. Our hero typifies the struggle between good and evil and the axiom: Lifes a bitch and then you die. Petie, step out here and say a few words. Hell do it if you give him a chance. Its the sort of thing hes good at. In fact, he does it all the time. Petie is the other half of each of us that few people talk about. St. Augustine did, in his Confessions; but Petie puts a new perspective on things - after all, hes a cricket. Close to death and in conflict with himself and society - find out how our hero is restored through extraordinary involvement with Petie, his alter-ego, the product of dream-madness.About the AuthorBy age 16 Kim Vincent was captivated by the metaphysical. This fascination is still with him and shows up in his eight books. In his 30s he was hosting home discussion groups and playing the organ in two different churches. By age 40s he had one of the largest collection of metaphysical books in Canada and developed a 160 acre spiritual retreat which was attended by folks from all over the world. At the same time he organized university seminars and was featured on various radio shows and hosted a 33 week television series entitled This Psychic World. It was then that an editor from Doubleday came across some of his lecture papers and asked him to write an encyclopedia on parapsychology. That was almost 30 years ago. Once hooked, he has been writing ever since, during which time he had a construction business, a land development company, an architectural design practice, a vinyl window factory and a pewter foundry. The encyclopedia, updated and in a more popular style, is now available under the title GETTING REAL. According to Kim: Things have not been dull. If Ive got it figured right, Im now on my third life, doing what I love most.
