Author Eric Rakestraw’s New Book, “If You Listen, I'll Tell You: חלק כפול,” Follows the Author's Fight to Return from the Brink After an Illness Leaves Him Comatose

Monroe, GA, November 01, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Eric Rakestraw has completed his new book, “If You Listen, I'll Tell You: חלק כפול”: a gripping and powerful story that follows the author through his life story leading up to a severe and devastating illness that left him fighting for his life, all the while experiencing spiritual growth and guidance while in a comatose state.

“My Book is based on how I got here and where I came from. How as a child, growing up in this world, it was either serve or get served,” writes Rakestraw. “After a bad experience at the age of 8 had shaken me.... Well, let's just say that I would never be the same again. My Uncle had taken me under his wings and taught me a rare art called Isshinryu. By the time I was 16, I was a 3rd degree black belt, vowing never to be caught off guard again.

“As time went by I would marry and have 3 beautiful children, who are very much a part of my heart beat. A big part of my drive for life is my children. In 2001, out of the blue, I got sick and slipped into a coma and had an out of body experience. I stayed in that coma for 3 months and in a place where my soul was being tormented. When I returned from my coma, I brought things back with me that would change my life and the lives of others forever.

“Beyond and Back: The road of existence is the road you haven't traveled. We've all been on it one time or another.......... Where it seems as though time has stopped, just to take observation of your every move, but there's one problem.......YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IT!!! With that being said, the choice to take that road of existence lies in your hands.”
