A once-shy farm boy, now in his twenties, stands on a bridge over a river. He's left the farm, studied for the clergy, and done a stint in the air force. He's a proofreader now. He's seen faraway places, but tonight he's in Wisconsin overlooking the dark water. He's about to see the face of God, to become a God-Realized man. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom this momentous turning point, Harold Klemp's life would never be the same.
