NO doubt many of my readers are familiar with the very wide range of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s influential works that were produced with astounding regularity before his death in 1930. But… did you know that he was also a gifted author after his death? Or so the late Ivan Cooke would have us believe, in his classic spiritualist book The Return of Arthur Conan Doyle, re-released in a 1994 edition called Arthur Conan Doyle’s Book of the Beyond.

From the White Eagle Lodge in Canada book review for Arthur Conan Doyle’s Book of the Beyond:

Arthur Conan Doyle's Book of the BeyondHe spent his last years touring and lecturing about Spiritualism, at great cost to himself, his health and his family. Prior to his death, he vowed to his wife and family that he would contact them from the spirit world, thus proving to them the truth of life after death.

After his death, he realized that some of his teachings had been inaccurate. His greatest desire, apart from contacting his family, was to provide an accurate description of life after death. In this way he could also correct the misconceptions he had taught about Spiritualism.

The extraordinary revelations which followed apparently led to the formation of the White Eagle Lodge, which not only reviews this book, but (conveniently for us) also publishes it and offers it for sale online at $14.95.

Having read a fair amount of religious and spiritual literature over the years, I must admit, I am a little curious….
