R.W. Leland author of "Six Plays"

From the Author

Most of my creative writing was conceived while I was working as a college professor but executed only after I retired.  It’s a great luxury to have been able to write without the need to earn a living from that writing. The needs of commerce and the inherent integrity of authentic expression—at least for me—long ago parted company.  That is not to say, not to claim that authentic expression has no commercial value, only that it has a more important origin. It was, however, always my intention, that any play written by me would be produced, and I therefore attended as carefully as I could to the feasibility of their production.

J. W. Dawson author of "You Were Born into Eternity and You Can't Get Out"

This book began as a short little paper for my family, specifically focused on my children and grandchildren and the generations yet to come.  I examined my life and how it has evolved over my seventy-plus years, and our culture in the past and now.  As I began writing to them, an idea of concern would arise, then another, and then another until the result is what you are now viewing.  It is about the impact one individual has on another, especially within the family circle and the future of that circle, but which can easily expand outside that circle to impact friends, social circles and potentially a much larger environment.  To be clear, it does have a spiritual focus as well, but that too focuses initially on the family and then expands well beyond that close circle. It addresses from the beginning of time to the end of time as we know it -- and beyond, and there is a beyond.  The most important aspect of this book is YOU – are you and your family prepared for the BEYOND?
