Introducing new reprints by and about Bishop James Pike:
-- The Other Side
-- Search
The Other Side is a moving narrative of a father's efforts to save his son from enslavement to psychedelic drugs, a tragic story of a young and gifted
man's premature death, a startling story of poltergeist occurrences that led
the father and other witnesses to believe that from beyond the grave his son
was trying to get in touch, a detailed account of how this communication
proceeded during a time when the father was under accusation for heresy
for believing too little. Above all, it is an analysis by one of America's
keenest minds of what all these experiences may mean.
The Other Side certainly reads like a suspenseful novel, yet every phrase of
the narration is painstakingly documented by eyewitness accounts of the
strange occurrences that led the Bishop Pike to consult mediums in England and
America, and by several word-for-word tape recordings of such seances. All
readers will find here an honest and lucid exploration of psychic phenomena, and those who have lost a loved one to suicide will find reason to take heart and find hope.
