The late Richard Ireland was a preeminent twentieth-century psychic-medium who counseled celebrities such as Mae West, Amanda Blake, and Glenn Ford. Born into rural, Depression-era Ohio to a mother who had demonstrated her own psychic talents, Ireland discovered his nascent gift after an operation at the age of five. After graduating from high school, he continued to develop his skills and began to earn his living as a full-time minister, associated in the early years of his ministry with the National Association of Spiritualist Churches (NASC). Ireland founded his own interdenominational University of Life church in Phoenix, AZ in 1960. Shortly thereafter he began appearing on radio and TV shows and in a wide range of venues from Las Vegas nightclubs to large events in Los Angeles, New York, and London. Ireland died in 1992. Mark Ireland, Richard's son, who has contributed a new foreword to the book, is the author of Soul Shift- Finding Where the Dead Go, an account of his personal quest for answers about life after death, written following the loss of his youngest son. He lives in Scottsdale, AZ.
