Alan is a type of unicorn in the Christian Leadership realm. He has the most unique, yet biblical and honoring wisdom. While much of Christianity is thwarted in thinking outside of a very small, predictable & limiting box, Alan knows how big God is because of his personal experiences with this Jesus who is bigger than what New Age & Spiritualism can offer. I recommend that you get to know Alan and experience a brand new expectation of the Kingdom of God for yourself, business strategies and your leadership capabilities.

I am so excited for Alans new book Authentic Awakening. As a deliverance minister, I have found Christian ignorance about the occult to be a major open door to the demonic realm. This book helps bring revelation to areas of disguised occult practices that have crept into the Church itself. Alans personal experience in these practices will give you insight into truth.

Congratulations, I loved the book, truly I did, I sensed such excitement in my heart as I read it and it carries FREEDOM, ITS ANOINTED!!! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with such honesty and Truth.
I believe there is powerful breakthrough into freedom from the deception that is in the New Age movement and is on the increase in this hour, not only for those who dont know Jesus but believers who are not anchored in the Truth, within the pages of your book.
The clear unfolding of your journey cuts through the confusion that has surrounded this subject for far too long. Yes, again He has worked all things for good for you and for others who have the opportunity to read and share it. Its a perfect size as well, and I can see it being placed in the hands of many souls that, as you are and have always been hungry for the Truth.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to a thank my amazing wife Anne-Marie for her countless hours of editingher insight and guidance over a 12-month period have brought this book to its completion. She worked on it when she felt like it, and when she didnt. We spent the last year travelling extensively and she faithfully carried the manuscript on the road with herconstantly looking for another quiet moment to write.
Through her commitment to excellence, I believe this book has turned into a powerful, detailed and informative story of my life, my spiritual journey and my passion.
Thanks, Babe!

The Journey Begins
This is an account of one persons life, who embarked on a spiritual quest spanning 49 years. It was my journeyborn from a heartfelt quest for love, peace and a deep hunger to encounter and experience higher realms of power.
In my early 20s I became a Leader in the New Age Movement. My spiritual journey will challenge some, yet I know, will bring freedom to others.
I have always been reluctant to tell my full story. Put simplyits because it involves the detailed account of a deception so great that my life became entrapped for decades in an ongoing prison of lies. To be honest, I have never desired or been passionate about recounting my many dark encounters and experiences with evil principalities and powers that masquerade as angels of light.
However, people have encouraged me to be bold and share the truthto expose the deceptions and teachings of false prophets that are permeating the culture of our day, leaving so many confused and seeking for answers. I am all too aware that the single greatest goal of all deception is to lead people away from the truth, by firstly blinding their eyes. The next step is to wean them into a lifestyle controlled by a labyrinth of carefully crafted lies. Beyond this, and deceptions ultimate goal, is to imprison lives by enslaving them into a system of endless and cruel religious practices and beliefs.
No human being deserves to live this life!
I have lived both sides. I stand as one who truly has verified life experiences of knowing the reality of both the dark and deceptive, as well as the light and truth.
As a former Leader in the New Age, my entire lifes journey was focused on and consumed with renouncing the deity of Jesus and exposing the Christian myth that mankind could have a living relationship with a deeply personal God.
MY EARLY YEARS
My fathers entrepreneurial dream was to relocate his Canadian born family to the new land of promiseAustralia. This included my mother and siblings. Though his business life began to boom, his personal and family life told a different story. His marriage was soon over. My mother left, taking me and my siblings with hershe was desperate to start a new life for us all! She remarried sometime later.
Sadly, our household was traumatic. When I was 13, after several attempts to run away from home, the courts finally gave my father full custody. I moved into my fathers household with his new wife, whose interest in spiritualism and Eastern religious practices matched his own. This became my new home environment.
A YOUNG HEART AWAKENED
I began my pursuit for spiritual enlightenment at the tender age of 11.
I grew up with two very strong influences over my lifeboth fostered by my father. The first was business. My father was a gifted entrepreneur whose business acumen continued to inspire me to follow in his footsteps. He bought me my first enterprise when I was 16 years old. He taught me all aspects of running a business, while I completed my last 2 senior years of high school. It was during this season of my life that I developed my passion for the business world.
The second strong influence came as a result of my fathers deep hunger to explore the world of the spirit. His unbridled curiosity led him into an extensive search of the world of Eastern religions. This included the smorgasbord of New Age practices, the occult, and spiritualism.
