History Repeats Itself Through Eyes of an Ageless Healer
| Austin, TX (ContentDesk) February 14, 2006 — Three hundred years ago a man was born in a Massachusetts Colony and was a slaver, two hundred years ago he was a soldier in the Revolution and a roustabout in a whorehouse, a hundred and fifty years ago he was a soldier in the Civil War and then a doctor many times through all the wars of the Twentieth Century. Today, he still lives struggling to understand his inexplicable longevity, his miraculous gift of healing that saves lives only to see them soon lost in horror and tragedy.Who is this man? His is a unique perspective seen through the human lives that shaped a nation with blood and perseverance, and courage and faith. This man has no name, but, he has a story.The story is revealed in Richard Evans book Life of the Eagle (ISBN 1595070389, Archebooks Publishing.) Evans explains, The main character (he is never named in the book) first discovers he has a gift of healing while still a child. But each time he heals someone of a dire illness, they die soon after under horrific circumstances. Is he not supposed to use such a wonderful gift? Growing to manhood, he finds that he remains youthful and strong while other men his age donthe has stopped aging.Why? Later he comes to believe God is keeping him alive for a reason. But what reason? Is he to accomplish some task, some miracle that God has in mind? And if he does do what God intends, will God then give him his greatest wishhis death? There is a terrible downside to immortality. He also carries a mark, a scar made the first time he murdered another man. Is it the mark of Cain? God marked Cain so that no man would kill him, so he would live onand on. Evans claims that we are all mortal, even thought we dont like to admit it. Most people believe that life is short and everyone wants to be happy during it.
Yet, according to Evans, the human race wants more they want the surety of a finite lifespan.After all, just as life is not guaranteed, it is neither automatic nor accidental. The process involves observation, development and discipline. Furthermore, if you think death is terrible, dont even think about immortality, adds Evans. Life of the Eagle is a mystical and magical account of an ageless wanderer and adventurer, who cannot die, but watches generation after generation pass away before his eyes. During his struggles to understand mortality he ultimately discovers his mysterious purpose in this worlda purpose that all can relate to.About Richard EvansRichard Evans, an author of two books, resides in Morehead City, North Carolina.
