REFLECTIONS OF HEAVEN: A Millennial Odyssey of Miracles, Angels & Afterlife book (Hardcover) By Peter Shockey
In Peter Shockey’s book REFLECTIONS OF HEAVEN, the author and filmmaker discusses his personal spiritual experiences, which compelled him to explore the near-death phenomenon in his documentary film Life After Life. From there he produced the TV series Angel Stories for Discovery’s The Learning Channel, and went on to make the TLC documentary series Miracles Are Real. While investigating these modern-day stories of deathbed visions, angels and miracles, Shockey began noticing compelling parallels between the contemporary stories he was documenting and the stories of miracles, angels, and 'eternal-afterlife' that exploded at the time of Christ's arrival in the first-century. This was the millennial epiphany behind this book, which reveal the links between contemporary stories and the spiritual phenomena that appear in biblical history.
JOURNEY OF LIGHT: Stories of Dawn After Darkness book (Hardcover) By Peter Shockey & Stowe D. Shockey
From Publishers Weekly
The Shockey’s have often asked themselves, "If I died tomorrow, what legacy would I leave?" In response, the married writers offer this spiritual memoir as a gift to their young daughters. The stories in JOURNEY OF LIGHT encompass the full spectrum of human experience. Built on the struggles of Stowe’s own Dicken’s-style childhood, they recount moments of light and dark, joy and frustration, pain and recovery. What unites them is the realisation that the Light of God illuminates the journey through life. Interviews with people who have returned from near-death experiences reveal a common phenomenon that many refer to as 'The Ripple Effect'. Upon seeing their lives 'flash before their eyes', they understand that their actions, like ripples from a pebble cast into a pond, radiated out to touch the lives of others. These unforgettable stories in JOURNEY OF LIGHT illustrate the interconnections between individuals and God’s Light.
