Description:In his first life, Laurence Oliphant was born into privilege as a Scottish son of the British Empire. He built a career as a writer, war correspondent, diplomat and Member of Parliament, well-liked by all his contacts throughout the British elite, including Queen Victoria. But then he began a second life trying to find the “real world” which God had intended man to share with the celestial spirits before the fall of Adam and Eve.

They then devoted the rest of their lives to helping desperate Jewish refugees by trying to establish a homeland for Jews in Turkish-controlled Palestine.
