"I of my own knowledge…"

…than somebody really getting it?

Babe in the Woods is being offered on Amazon and in other places by Doyle Whiteaker, a friend from one of the Monroe Institute-oriented email groups. He requested that a friend of his read it, and he sent me her review, which follows:

This from Hampton Roads author Paul von Ward:

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

My occasional group emails are limited to original personal articles on my research or my reviews of significant books. However, this time I’d like to mention some of my other activities. They may interest you or be events that you would like others to know about.

1. September 16: Paul is George Noory’s guest on “Coast to Coast AM” (the largest overnight talk radio show in the U.S.) to discuss the Reincarnation Experiment and his book The Soul Genome: Science and Reincarnation. For details see www.coasttocoastam.com and www.reincarnationexperiment.org.

If you ever wondered what it would be like to go through a program with a couple of dozen people all looking for extraordinary potential — here’s an easy way to get the idea.

Babe in the Woods is about a skeptical news reporter’s entry into a world that he had always assumed did not exist.

What’s more, she was a friend of a friend, and I wanted to be careful not to let an argument become a heated dispute.

But the “facts” she was quoting with such certainty were just not so. Missionaries, she said, were merely agents of imperialism, using their religion as a weapon to destroy native institutions. Like so many people – political liberals, mostly — she assumed that religious institutions are automatically corrupt, that missionaries are automatically bigots, and that efforts to convert natives of other cultures were mere manifestations of racism.

But in this she, as most people in our generation, was the victim of ignorance fostered by leftist ideology and propagated by lack of historical memory. For instance, she had never heard of the slogan “the evangelization of the world in this generation,” and when I quoted it, had no idea what it meant or why it was adopted.
