The Near-Death Experience
of
Sean Harper
LTC Shawn Harper has built his reputation on two things: scientific precision and the appearance of steady faith. But the truth is more complicated.
After a near-death experience, he wakes in a Heaven he never truly believed in and receives gifts he can’t explain. When he is resuscitated and sent back into his old life, pride clouds his judgment, leaving him unsure whether what he experienced was divine… or imagined.
​
In this gripping story of repentance and redemption, LTC Shawn Harper must confront the hazard of his pride and the limitations of his love and faith.
About Me
Hey! I’m Tim Leviston - a retired US Army chaplain (CPT) who has had an incredible career serving in both the Air Force and Army. I started out as a mechanic in the Air Force back in February 1999 and had the privilege of serving and connecting with people from all over the world while stationed outside of the United States.
​
In 2016, I joined the Army as a Chaplain and continued to make a difference in the lives of soldiers and their families. I proudly served as the Battalion Chaplain of the 1-158 AHB, Conroe Texas, before medically retiring after 23 years of service. My wife Cassie and I have three excellent kids and two dogs.
​
I earned an MDiv from Liberty University and am currently serving as a JROTC Instructor.
​
My mission is to share stories that reflect Christ’s teachings with the world, while also honoring God and advancing the art of writing. I am committed to using my craft to inspire and entertain my readers, and I invite you to join me on this journey. So stay tuned, and let’s explore and advance the power of storytelling together!
