Papa’s Gift by George A. McLendon (2014-08-28) Paperback

Ian Barrett MacLogan was a fighter pilot and amateur adventurer with insatiable curiosity. He had studied under a Spiritual teacher known as a Spiritual Traveler. Ian gained personal experiences within the subtle universes many call their Heavens.
He came to believe life itself to be a gift of love and if, while alive, one could be taught to experience these other dimensions, personal proof of Heaven and proof of one’s own eternal consciousness could be realized. To ensure his experiences from being lost to his new grandchild, Ellie Marie, Ian wrote a manuscript portraying a future summer’s visit by Ellie as a more mature young person. Ian (Papa) revealed through these stories the spiritual nature of man and man’s relation to the cosmos.

Fascinated with the unanswered questions of the nature of consciousness, George sought answers to life’s mysteries and with his wife Ellen, traveled and studied, seeking the link between modern science and the wisdom of the ancients. McLendon spoke at spiritual seminars in many different countries.
Papa’s Gift is his first novel. The author and his wife have been together over forty eight years and live outside Las Vegas, Nevada. They raised six children and are great-grandparents.
