Book Description

1974
A monumental investigative work on psychic phenomena in America, this book includes more than 25 chapters on every area of psychic research, written by notable scientists especially for this book under the aegis of Edgar Mitchell, distinguished astronaut and moonwalker.

From a history of parapsychology to disclosures in telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis, to discourses on plant communication and out-of-body travel (astral projection), here is the paranormal world in all its aspects, enhanced by photographs, charts, and drawings which combine with lucid text to make this volume comprehensible to all readers.

'Psychic Exploration,' a symposium of noteworthy statements on controversial issues appearing for the first time in this book, is a repository of everything currently known in the in the fascinating, ever-widening world of parapsychology. In his introduction, Mitchell expands upon the realization his experience in outer space provided: 'Clearly the universe had meaning and direction. It was not perceptible by the sensory organs, but it was there nevertheless - an unseen dimension behind the visible creation that gives it an intelligent design and that gives life purpose.' This book is a record of man's efforts to establish the truth of that purpose.

More About the Author

John White was born in Liverpool, England, on March 5, 1924, and grew up in Manchester. After serving as a reconnaissance photographer in the Fleet Air Arms during World War II, he completed medical training at Manchester University. He later participated in a variety of short-term missions efforts (including Bible smuggling!) and captitalized on many opportunities to encourage Christians behind the Iron Curtain during the beginning of the Cold War.

On June 25, 1955, White married Laureate May O'Hara. From 1955 to 1964 he served as a medical missionary with New Tribes Mission. Later he was appointed associate general secretary of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students of Latin America.

White emigrated to Canada with his family in 1965 and later completed his residency in psychiatry in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He next filled the post of associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba and also served locally as pastor of Church of the Way.

He wrote 25 books as well as numerous articles and study guides. A much sought-after speaker, he lectured around the world at churches, conferences and leadership events. During his later life, White moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, helping to plant a Vineyard church there (Surrey Vineyard) and becoming involved in the larger Vineyard Christian Fellowship.

John White died in 2002, but his written ministry lives on, with over 1.5 million of his books in print.
