We have the privilege of having three-time NDEr Rev. Bill McDonald speak to us in person, Friday January 23, 2026
Bill McDonald has completed a world tour as an International Inspirational Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Minister, Documentary Film Advisor, decorated war veteran, Award Winning Poet, Meditation Teacher, Artist, World-Wide Advocate for Veterans, and so much more.
His whole life has been a mystical trip in search of self-discovery and the purpose of life. He has been on a continuous spiritual journey, spanning slightly over 7 decades. He has written many books about his spiritually transformative experiences and his 3 “near-death-experiences” including supernatural events during his combat tour-of-duty in the Vietnam War (1966-67).
Since his last address to Utah IANDS, Reverend Bill has been laser focused on writing because he cannot travel everywhere and meet all the people who would like to hear his message but he can convey those teachings to a larger audience through his writings.
“Warrior A Spiritual Odyssey”, Rev. Bill’s autobiography
“Alchemy of a Warrior’s Heart “, a summary of his spiritual odyssey
“Cosmic Chronicles : Spiritual Essays”, his teachings and advice in a nutshell
“I Remember Tomorrow”, his transformative experiences over the past decade
“Sacred Verses : Poetry About the Divine Presence”, a profound exploration of the poet’s spiritual journey.
“Spiritual Prayers & Blessings”, a heartfelt collection of original prayers and blessings
Rev. Bill, as he is known, is involved in many non-profits, most of which he founded with a principal focus on veterans issues. He helps veterans because he served in Vietnam as a helicopter door gunner and was raised by a father who had PTSD from from his service in WWII. He is highly decorated for his valiant service.
Rev. Bill has been able to accumulate healing and spiritual practices from many far-away parts of the world in his spiritual quests. He will conduct a free self-healing workshop (physical, spiritual, mental) Saturday afternoon, January 24 from 1 to 5 pm in our same meeting location. For further explanation of the workshop, visit his YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXUVf8UOT237rw2RfsB9haA.
