The research and facts behind the writing of ThresholdIf I've learned anything in writing "Threshold" it's that truth can indeed be stranger than fiction. As with "Blood of Heaven" I've tried to make all of the science as accurate as possible -- which includes the paranormal research being conducted to one degree or another in laboratories around the world. The same can be said regarding the various supernatural experiences. Except for the climax, which is more symbolic and allegorical in nature, most of the mentioned encounters have to one degree or another been experienced, documented, or verified by myself or others. When it comes to these two areas, science and the supernatural, I'm afraid what fiction I've added only pales by commparison. My research began as early as 1976 when John Smalley, Keith Green, and I were involved in the deliverance of an influential West Coast psychic from intense demonic activity. It was then the story began to take shape. I wanted to show how crafty and deceptive the Adversary can be in comparison to the purity and power of Jesus Christ. Other elements came from my trips around the world as a film director for various mission groups. The spiritual warfare some of these men and women are waging overseas is worth a book in itself. Recently, I've spent hours in prison interviewing David Berkowitz, the serial killer once known as the Son of Sam -- a man who had been deep into the occult and who was charged with shooting thirteen people, but who is now a commited Christian.
There was also an extensive and gracious conversation with Dr. Edwin May, who for twenty years headed up a psychic research program for the CIA and who also provided the information on current Russian progress in this field. Dr. Richard S. Broughton was kind enough to speak with me and allow me to visit the Institute for Parapsychology, one of the top psychic research labs in the world. There were also numerous conversations with pastors, physicists, medical researchers, and followers of Eastern religions. Their stories and research were both encouraging and chilling. Encouraging in that their ongoing studies clearly demonstrate the presence of a supernatural world and the power of faith. Chilling in that sometimes many of these well-meaning men and women are entering into areas of the occult without even knowing it. Finally, many have been writing wondering if there will be a sequel to "Threshold" and/or "Blood of Heaven." I'm happy to say, yes.
