About the Book
Noah's Great Adventure is about a fifty-six year old, financially successful insurance company state manager operating a fifty-five man sales agency he built. In November of 1966, he and a friend are flown in his private plane for a short vacation to Fort Lauderdale, Florida by his son, Eddie.
Three nights later Noah lies dead from a self-inflicted overdose of alcohol and sleeping pills — a historically factual story to this point. He then encounters the first of eight characters, who tactfully expose him to spiritual knowledge relating to different levels of existence.
He comes to understand what fear and stress did to his life, and what a mortal experience is meant to accomplish for spirits seeking Earth's training. We discover many facets of personal relationships on each side of the veil as this story of self-help and introspective life choices unfolds.
As entities become what they consume, Noah finds himself exposed to some high performance, stress-busting 'soul food'!

About the Author
Pilot · Instructor · Rancher · Counselor · Author
Ed Moates' flying career began at eighteen and, although he believes he does this better than anything else, he has also been a Dale Carnegie Leadership and Sales Course Instructor, a cattle ranch owner, and a counselor in a hypnosis clinic — all the while wondering why people make the successful and destructive choices they do in their personal and business lives.
If while pinballing around the galaxy he ran into an entity who inquired about 'life on earth,' he would reply: "It can be a marvelous adventure in an ignorant and silly sort of way where each animal gets their own face and body with which to learn their lessons. Here, read this story I put together. It may help."
A story about what happens beyond the veil — and what it means for the life you are living right now.
