Author Biography Ronald R. (Rick) East was born in March of 1950 in Springfield, Missouri. He was born into a dysfunctional and abusive family environment. Physical disabilities and educational disappointments plagued him throughout his early years. He suffered a devastating blow to his already battered ego when he was involved in a fatality auto accident in 1967. It was God who kept him from completing a suicide attempt. A Baptist Bible College student saw Rick's misery and led him to salvation and knowledge of Jesus Christ. A salvation that changed his heart and turned his life around. If you ask him, he will tell you that he is, just your average guy. "I don't know why God has chosen to communicate with me the way he has. I suppose it is just because I have asked him to so many times and have had a heart felt desire to communicate with Him." On Christmas Day, 2012 Rick suffered respiratory failure and found himself in Heaven communicating one on one with The Holy Spirit. Rick saw The Holy City of Heaven, New Jerusalem, and was told many things. Rick was instructed to write this book and be a witness to as many people as possible. The Rapid Response Team at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri revived him and brought him back to this world. Rick did not want to return. The source of his illness has never been determined after 130 tests returned negative results. Within days of discharge from the hospital he was completely recovered. Today Rick is retired from the steel industry where he has worn many hats. He has served as a design draftsman, mechanical design engineer, structural steel detailer, sales estimator, assistant division manager, division manager, manager of projects and sales, managing partner, and business owner. He has successfully completed projects all over Southwest Missouri and the world. Rick will be the first to admit that his success was purely attributable to "The Grace of God." Rick and his wife Faith will be married 45 years in August of 2014. They have two children, two grandchildren and one great grandchild. Rick says, "My testimony proves that even the average person can make it to heaven if you only believe." Aside from being a car guy, Rick is an avid sportsman and enjoys hunting, and fishing especially offshore and fly-fishing.
