Michael Prescott's Blog

Just got it from the Apple Books Store.

Congrats, Michael! I haven’t bought any spiritual books for a while after losing interest in acquiring as many as I could, but I’ll gladly make an exception for this one!

Ordered my copy through our local mom & pop book seller. Should be here tomorrow. Also, will definitely catch your Coast to Coast show.
I hope all of your efforts open a few more minds to the spiritual realities of our life. People need that now.
Maybe new people will come to this forum to replace those who have dropped out.

The first half of the Saturday night show, on the 23rd, dealt with life after death too. If you sign up for the Insider service you can hear it.
Several years ago I suggested to C to C that they invite you to be a guest. I think you’ll do well, and that other shows will invite you.

Thanks, Roger. Not so sure I really want to be invited on other shows (I’m the shy, retiring type, and am pushing my personal envelope only because i want to do right by White Crow Books). But I have done one podcast so far (details to be announced later) and it didn’t reduce me to a quivering puddle of drool as I’d feared, so perhaps I’ll develop more confidence over time.
As for “cha-ching,” I doubt I’ll make much money off the book, but I’m thankfully past the point where I need to worry about that.

Thanks very much, Roger. I appreciate that you listened and I’m grateful for your feedback. I enjoyed the experience more than I expected, but the prep work and pre-show nerves were a bit challenging. I did like interacting with George Noory, who’s a very pleasant interviewer. I didn’t listen to the first guests, as I was reviewing my notes, etc.
As far as politics is concerned, I’ll probably keep my head down for a while. There seems to be a Big Tech jihad against anyone with the temerity to think Trump isn’t Hitler. (Admittedly, Trump’s ill-advised behavior in the last month of his presidency has made it harder to be on his side.) I’m actually enjoying the Biden presidency in a way; it’s refreshing not to have to defend the incumbent or even pay much attention.

Hi Michael! I thought you did great on the radio show. Especially enjoyed hearing about your teenage epiphany.
I heard the first segment and then the second up to when you started to talk about Flatland, after which I resumed previously scheduled activity, i.e. sleep.
We ain’t on the same ‘side’ politically, but who cares? You’re a good guy with an always absorbing blog. Keep up the good work!

Roger wrote, “One thing MP said that disappointed me was that he wasn’t able to make use of his blog material for his book, because it was too big—600,000 bytes—and he couldn’t take the time and effort to extract the wheat from the chaff. I think his blogs’ content SHOULD be mined for material for books on, especially, scofticism.”
I may not have been completely clear about that, since I was speaking off the cuff. The truth is that once I focused on my plan for the book, I did go through the blog archives, usually using the search feature (you can find it on the left-hand side of the page), in order to find blog posts that would illustrate my points.
In fact, a good deal of the book consists of recycled material from the blog, although it has been heavily edited and rearranged. When I talked to Jon Beecher of White Crow Books about the project, I was careful to point out to him that much of the material had already appeared in an altered form online.
All I meant in my interview was that I couldn’t go through the entire 400,000-word coverage of the blog to try to figure out what to use. There’s just too much material to wade through. And frankly, a lot of it reflects thinking that I no longer would support, and which I find boring and irrelevant today. A blog is like a diary; it has a limited shelf life in terms of relevancy. A book, on the other hand, is meant to last.

Jacqueline, the book can also be purchased through Apple Books (digital edition) or Book Depository (print edition).

Thanks, Dee. I’m glad you liked the show and even more pleased that this blog was able to help you in a difficult time.

Thanks, Ian! I hope you like it.

I recently read your book and thought it was very good and well structured with the four models presented as they were. Your podcast interview was also a great adjunct to the book. I’ve been reading your blog for some time and just wanted to thank you for the work you’ve put into it. It’s nice to have someone apply thought and logic in a fair manner to topics that tend to attract too much emotional response for anything useful to emerge. Thanks again.

Hi Michael,
Is there an audible version of your book. I have poor vision.
