It was a death to end all deaths, culminating in a resurrection an hour later and a book with an unqualified prediction of 9/11 six months before it happened.

On July 2, 1984, nightclub owner Ned Dougherty died, entered a tunnel of light and met Lt. Dan Campbell, a friend killed during the Vietnam War. Campbell, communicating telepathically, told Ned to remember everything because he would be going back; he had a mission and this experience would guide him in that mission.

Dougherty’s near-death experience (NDE) was vividly detailed. When he touched the wall of the tunnel of light, which looked like a tubular ocean wave, crystal-like liquid sparks exploded into brilliant colors.

These true believers subscribe to a fantastical theology concocted in the 19th century by a couple of immigrant preachers who took disparate passages from the Bible and wove them into a narrative that has captivated the imagination of millions of Americans. Its outline is rather simple, if bizarre : Once Israel has occupied the rest of its "biblical lands," legions of
the Antichrist will attack it, triggering a final showdown in the valley of Armageddon.

Jeremy’s dolphin adventure begins in Denver - his anticipation about swimming with dolphins so high, his body wouldn’t be still. But then, Jeremy is never still, his body and his mind always racing, always in motion. Jeremy is bipolar, autistic and has multiple learning disabilities, but ultimately, the names of his challenges don’t matter. The effects of his disabilities matter constantly.

Jeremy’s first glimpse of the world was before his head fully emerged from the birth canal. Only part of his face exposed, he opened his eyes and began to look around the room – something the nurse midwives exclaimed they had never witnessed before.
