Fingers in the Light (Paperback)

Emerging completely unscathed from a major car accident, beating the odds from several early near death experiences and considered the Miracle Boy of St. John’s Hospital after having a massive heart attack, J H. Soeder is no stranger to what he calls “The unseen hand” in his life. With stories that border on the amazing, you will find yourself highly entertained but also drawn to think and possibly accept a force that is far greater and magical than all of us, guiding us and teaching us throughout our lives. "Fingers in the Light" is a collection of true supernatural stories about spirits, life after death and talking with the dead. Its the story of one man's search for truth with answers far beyond your imagination! Here's what critics are saying about Jon's books: “...definitely worth the price of admission.” –Nowick Gray, Cougar Webworks, Alternative Culture Magazine “A great read.” —Robert Conrad, actor, CRN Talkshow host “...I started reading and couldn’t put it down. It’s well written, fun, and emotional at times.” — June Stoyer, "The Organic View"

Jon Soeder has in many ways lived many lives, all in one lifetime. A resident of Southern California since birth, except for his studies at the University of Miami in Florida, he initially intended to become a marine biologist. The story of how he arrived at a different calling is revealed in one of his stories of amazing sequential events which are described in Fingers in the Light. These events led to his decision to become a fine artist and commercial graphic designer-a profession that became lifelong. During the 1970's Jon also participated in a 9,500 mile run marathon, called "Liberty Torch" in which he placed a foot in each of the continental United States. He also taught math and coached swimming at a private school in Florida, and worked as a missionary in his church, as well as having traveled the world. But the external biographical facts don't necessarily reflect a person's inner life or what is most important. Jon's real story is about his quest to understand his true path and his place in life in relation to his amazing experiences of divine guidance and his God-given gifts and abilities. This quest and all that he has learned through his experiences is now being told for the first time in his books. Jon's love for and advocacy of marine mammals continues, as does his sensitivity to the natural world and its creatures. These avocations are explored in True Tails, which was his first autobiographical book and centers around his gift of coherent two-way communication with animals and other many-legged creatures. He also works for the preservation of marine mammals-his gently persuasive and rational arguments for ending the killing of whales and other sentient marine creatures are expressed in his popular website blog, The Whale People (www.thewhalepeople.com). And although his first books are of a non-fiction nature, Jon has begun working on a five series, science fiction adventure called "A Tin Can for Christmas." The first volume he plans to release in the Spring of 2012 - watch for it! His author website: jhsoeder.com also has links to his short stories, both fiction and non-fiction. Jon's graphic design company, Soeder Designs, Inc. is located in Port Hueneme, California (website: www.jonsoeder.com), and Jon lives with his family in Ventura County. His books are widely available in softcover and e-book format. You can follow Jon on Twitter or Facebook.
