Visitant is a unique story, written in a unique way, about how, and what happens when, we move beyond this life. Science, science fiction, religion, experiences and beliefs are mixed, dissected and re-imagined, then combined within an intriguing life story, and an even more intriguing life question. There are many "afterlife" accounts out there, but Visitant is a story that takes this concept to a new, exciting, and mind-expanding level. Visitant is an experience and a genuine story to share and intellectually consider, not just another documentary on the subject. God, Jesus, The Prophet Muhammad, Buddha, Will Rogers, Plato, Mae West, Lao Tzu, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein, Aristotle, Abraham Lincoln, Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, Lord Alfred Tennyson, The Dalai Lama, Dr. Seuss, Confucius, Mark Twain, Chief Seattle, Krishna, William Blake, Carl Sagan, C.S. Lewis, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Socrates, George Washington, and Edmund Burke have all contributed to this work! Their words and wisdom are intertwined within the remarkable and unforgettable story of David Thorson. David Thorson is a "visitant," a visitor, a guest, a spiritual pilgrim. Witness his supernatural journey. Share in his discovery of understanding. Experience his passage from this life to the next...and back again...and... How will David's newfound enlightenment influence him, his family, and his friends, when they are faced with a situation that challenges their instincts, faith, trust, and love for one another.
About the Author: G.R. Erickson currently has three other books available in his children's series, Adventures of The Crooked Lake Kids. He grew up with a love for learning and a love for reading. After high school, he began his own real adventure by enlisting in The United States Marine Corps. It was in the Marines that he learned we are all capable of much more than we think we are. After his stint in The Marine Corps, he married his wife, Cheryl. He then worked in the IT field, while raising a family. He was subsequently encouraged by friends and family to go into teaching, before deciding to go back to college and "answer the call" to become a teacher. He gained extensive theological knowledge and perspective at school (Concordia University-Wisconsin), before becoming a lay minister and a Catholic elementary school teacher. He later transitioned into high school teaching and adult education. Besides continuing to be a great teacher, it is his desire to write books that pull the reader into the story, challenge the reader's preconceptions, as well as inspiring thought and a sense of curiosity.
