Product Description

This groundbreaking novel explores the incarnations of one man's eternal Soul, sometimes playing the part of a villain, sometimes that of a courageous warrior, occasionally that of a student or teacher. Through it all the answers to life's deepest mysteries are revealed by the Soul, who narrates the story so that others might profit from his experience. He might challenge everything you hold dear, but in the end he just might unite you with your own Divine Inner Presence.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Spiritual Books Ever Written, March 10, 2006

By	R. F. Martin "student of Eastern Theology" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is right up there with Autobiography of a Yogi in terms of Great Spiritual literature. It is categorised as Nonfiction but is infact semi-autobiographical. While writing about his past lives, Johnston manages to incorporate innumerable spiritual teachings and truths below the surface. This book will certainly withstand multiple readings over the years, and I can assure you that anyone who read it multiple times will get something new from it every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Side of the Gate, June 23, 2006

By	Richard Fuller (Wyoming, MI USA) - See all my reviews

Here is a page-turner about life after death. Reincarnation. A continuation of spirit in the
lifetimes of 32 different, yet similar individuals. This Side of the Gate by John P.
Johnston, is an unusually well-written novel that opens doors to self-discovery and minds
to new consciousness.

This Side of the Gate begins in Atlantis long ago and relates stories of recollection and
revelation, good and evil, and life and death in that ancient kingdom. You will visit the
Black Lodge who swore allegiance to Satan; and the White Lodge, the religion most
Atlanteans embraced with unbridled passion. You will bear witness, through Mr.
Johnston's elegant prose, to the demise of this historic community and understand the
reasons why.

But before Atlantis disappeared 12,000 years ago, their people seeded other areas of Earth
and these later generations each carried a little piece of the culture. Thus, author and
visionary John Johnston was able to bring us tales from the Cro-Magnons at the dawn of
civilization to the 100,000 Atlanteans who migrated to Egypt and helped design and build
the Pyramids.

This Side of the Gate takes the reader back to the times of dragons in China, and the
origins of the Buddhist Culture in the Himalayas. We travel to Greece long before the
Romans became a militarized force; and to Japan way before the modern age.

This Side of the Gate is a "...saga of one Soul who has been bound to the Wheel of
Rebirth for thousands of years." John P. Johnston has given us a new legend of two
worlds, one on this side of the gate, and one on the other side. More, Mr. Johnston
connects the two. Here is a book about relationships, then and now, with our
environment, friends, relatives and God. In this reviewer's opinion, this novel is destined
for the best-seller list!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Journey Through Time, October 28, 2006

By	S. Staves (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

John's book is a look back through time that I wish we could all make. This is an amazing journey into one man's lives and if you've ever had any interest in your past lives and their relevance to the life you live today, you'll see how John relates to his. I enjoyed the way he wove his past experiences together to walk the reader through the stories and see the meaning and knowledge he gained from each one. Each life is used as a stepping stone into the next. It's profound if you can remember the past in this lifetime and understand its importance and lessons in the present.
