At a time in history when there are unparalleled numbers of negative messages assaulting the human mind and heart, Stephen Redding radiates unmistakable optimism, faith, and promise. A survivor of many death-defying experiences, he believes that he was brought back to life to spread his optimistic and unique regard for this world and the others he has visited. His message is for all people, in all stages of life, who yearn to find deeper meaning in their lives and greater hope for their tomorrows. Stephen believes and hopes that millions of people are ready for a new consciousness.
Stephen, one of fifteen children of a Pennsylvania farm family, lives with his wife and four children on their thirty-five acre homestead and tree farm in rural Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. In the 1980's he garnered much publicity for a hunger strike he conducted on behalf of some ancient trees threatened with destruction by an electric utility company.
Stephen is the author of Something More and More or Less, two books in which he weaves events of the past, truths of the present, and promises for the future into a revealing tapestry of lessons learned, comfort, compassion, and hope. Through a series of his life's events, punctuated by a cast of friends, family members, and uniquely original characters, Mr. Redding escorts the reader on a pathway of discovery that leads to the poignant recognition that this earthly life, this reality is a highly valued world among others in creation's fabric of the existence experience.
Among the many discoveries made possible for us is the compelling perspective that life as we know it represents a long journey through time and space. We, as living beings, have always been present in one way or another. Yes our face and properties of self may have changed as conditions and circumstances of the journey have demanded. To our credit life has always found a way to continue to respond to creation's grand design.
