'Dying' to Experience the Supernatural Graham A H Clarke

'Dying' to Experience the Supernatural is the story of a young boy growing up in a small rural village through his journey to adulthood trying to find purpose and connect with an elusive God. The village and village life are strong underlying motifs to the narrative of this book. The book explores several spiritual themes such as: The God Within; the Nomad God; the God of Justice; the Communal God; the Church without walls and the Paradox of Supernatural Power. It also embodies life lessons about forgiveness, sharing, love, community, hope, suffering and loss. A powerful lesson in the book is the revelation that the supernatural is really about the power of the ordinary and the power of simplicity in our lives. In the end, it is not that God and the supernatural are elusive but, rather that people are often looking for God and the supernatural in all the wrong places.
