Dream of the Spirit Man

Dream of the Spirit Man follows Michael as he continues his journey through the Dream World, seeking the young girl with the third eye and the white stone. As he travels, he is forced to confront his doubts about the substantiality of the mission he has been tasked with, his capabilities, and the other side of the coin many men seek to hold so desperately - immortality. What price does man pay for his actions when his life is no longer for trade? A familiar yet engaging tale of love, loss, growth, and perseverance, Dream of the Spirit Man sees Michael undergoing radically edifying transformations as he pursues something greater than himself. George Mendoza was born in New York City in 1955. At the age of 15 he was diagnosed with a rare, incurable, degenerative eye disease, fundus flavimaculatus. Effects of the disease caused him to loose all of his central vision and keep only a gray foggy fringe of peripheral vision. In the center of his view he sees what he calls "kaleiddoscope eyes"-intense and changing visual images of fiery suns, brightly burning eyes and colorful pinwheels. These spectacles almost never leave him, not even when he lays down in darkness to go to sleep. A man of vision and courage, George went on to become a world-class runner, Olympic contender, author, painter and a motivational speaker to the youth and the disabled in America. This is his fourth novel in the Spirit Man series.
