The book is a dive deep into the world of angels and spirits. Robert and Alice never expected their experiences to happen but happen they did. Shortly after their marriage, many unusually problems came to the surface causing Alice to suffer a breakdown that required hospitalization. Alice recovered, but no explanation for the cause of her breakdown was ever offered by her doctors. In the hope that further problems could be adverted,
Robert and Alice, falling back on their comparative religion backgrounds, researched what similar kinds of breakdowns might explain what had happened to Alice. Their findings indicated the possibility of an experience affecting new tribal shamans in many parts of the world, called "Spirit sickness". This realization started the couple on an extended investigation into the world of spirits which lasted several years. During this investigation the couple met angels, spirit guides and others who blessing them with a vast quantity of knowledge and spiritual understanding.
The couple also encountered demons, which had to be bravely confronted and defeated. The upshot of this work is their book, which documents for the first time a careful investigation of the world of spirit that all of us will inherit and someday be a part of.
