Mark Allen – A letter to Jeff
In this letter to a dying friend, the late Mark Allen describes a mystical experience whereby an old Russian lady became deified in his presence. He records how she emanated power and light, with archangelic beings appearing around them in the room.
Sue Overbeck’s Story
Sue writes about feeling disappointed by her church experience, but then meeting her husband, Jim in the 60s and experiencing visions given by the Holy Spirit. Her account includes witnessing the birth of the gods and seeing the risen Lord on Jim.
My Story – Gillian Gilbert
From witnessing being in a room suddenly filled with light at a Christian festival, through feelings of being abandoned by God, to a vision of Christ bleeding on the cross and more.
Stephen Nash – From a letter to a friend
In this letter, he describes to a friend a few key experiences in his Christian spiritual journey, including meeting Jim Overbeck. This helped him get through a period of personal tragedy and led him to the truth and reality of Theosis.
Mike Underwood – An extraordinary life
A career chosen by others resulted in reading Physics at Durham University, but meeting Jim and his friends livened things up a bunch. Life became an amazing journey of spiritual discovery through divine experiences, including witnessing the union between God and man.
Moira Mitchell’s Account
Moria started searching for God when a young girl. The daughter of atheist parents, she found new meanings once her mind was opened to the divine energies.
Tony Hill on Jim Overbeck
Like Christ before him Jim Overbeck was vilified, slandered and mocked. Why? Because all earthly empires outlaw the unfolding of Christs essential gift, the process of engodding or deification.
