From Glory to Glory, the Joe Lewis Story is an account of Joe's journey from the glory of the world to the glory of God. The account starts with the beginning details of his life and proceeds through his serving in the United States Air Force and ending with the planning to form several evangelistic ministries. The account contains descriptions of supernatural events, humor, despair, and joy. Joe Lewis was born on August 6, 1961 in Burlington, Vermont. He grew up mostly in Huntington Center, Vermont near Camel's Hump Mountain. He did very well in school and with a four-year Air Force scholarship obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation Computer Science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Joe served five years in the Air Force during which he went to Undergraduate Pilot Training for a while and ended his service as a captain at the Pentagon working directly for the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He then went through several years of depression and including homelessness on the street. Today, Joe is involved in evangelism, inventing, and writing.

The tribal initiation of the shaman, the archetype of the serpent, exemplifies the death of the self and a rebirth into transcendent life. This book traces the images of spiritual initiation in religious rituals and myths of resurrection, poems and epics, cycles of nature, and art and dreaming. It dramatizes the metamorphosis from a common experience of death's inevitability into a transcendent freedom beyond individual limitations.

"This is a classic work in analytical psychology that offers crucial insights on the meaning of death symbolism (and its inevitably accompanying rebirth and resurrection symbolism) as part of the great theme of initiation, of which Henderson] is the world's foremost psychological interpreter. This material is really the next step after the hero myth that Joseph Campbell has made so popular, and provides an understanding of how not to use the hero myth in an inflated way as a psychology of mastery, but as an attainment progressively to be died beyond. Henderson] is helped by the presence of Maud Oakes, who is a trained anthropologist with exquisite taste in her choice of mythic materials and respect for their original contexts."--John Beebe
