The Upward Way: A Story of Spiritual Clarity and Glimpses of Heaven Through Alzheimer's Disease (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781662887314)

The Upward Way is a spiritual journal spoken by Gale Wayne Wallace, a lifelong master teacher of the Bible and devoted servant of God, in the last six months of his life. Even though Gale's body became physically weak and stationary, his spiritual clarity remained miraculously active. His wife, Joyce, became his scribe, faithfully noting his words and experiences. A friend said during this time, "Gale's mind had dementia, but his soul did not."

Philippians 3:12-14 became the inspiring theme of the couple's daily lives: "...pressing on, laying hold, forgetting things in the past, reaching for the future, and the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (NKJV)

In his last weeks, Gale shared his visions of angels, heaven, and a greeting line. The hospice chaplain said the veil between heaven and earth had become very thin for Gale. The focus of this journal is Gale Wallace's gift to us all.

Gale Wayne Wallace was a former pastor, a skillful anointed teacher of the Bible, and the founder and weekly speaker of the Christian radio program "Praise Him," which was aired on over 18 radio stations in in his home state of Texas, the Washington DC area, other states, and via livestream.
