Many mainline churches resist the current reformation, a gradual movement away from traditional Christianity toward a vital spirituality. Its adherents are frequently labeled \"heretics\" when in fact they are actually the leading edge of a new spiritual age. They are discovering the \"much more\" which Jesus promised to tell us, such spiritual phenomena as out-of-body and near-death experiences, pre-birth and post-death appearances, angel communication, and \"coincidental\" experiences. \u003ci\u003eA Handbook for Heretics\u003c\/i\u003e reconsiders some traditional Christian doctrines so as to broaden the church's view of spiritual reality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJohn W.
