"Hi Jodie, it's Mum. I just called to let you know I'm coming to see you. Missing you heaps. Can't wait to be together again." The simple phone message has Jodie spooked. She'd give anything to see her mother again but that's impossible. Dead people only return for visits from beyond the grave in books and movies. They can't pick up a phone and call the living to have a chat. Someone must be playing a sick joke. But when the phone calls stop, the other weird communications start and Jodie has to find out the truth. Are the messages from her mum? Should she expect a ghostly visitor?

Joseph Raffa was a dedicated atheist when he set out in search of answers to the riddles of life and the universe. Then, in a blissful moment of discovery, the God the Bible speaks of, the Allah of Mohammed and the longed for Nirvana of the Buddhists came into his life. As his life opened out spiritually, Joseph began to have a deeper appreciation of Jesus, His life and His role in the spiritual awakening of Mankind. Visions and insights arose unbidden, in such a manner that their authenticity could not be questioned. The young man who was an atheist for a time, who cared not to read the Bible or take much notice of Christ and His life, found himself anchored in God and also writing pieces extolling the virtues, the wisdom and the love expressed by that super spiritual being of long ago. Beyond the Cross, a moving collection of inspired pieces about Christ, is the result.
