<p>Closing the gap between the higher wisdom that comes through us and our everyday behavior is perhaps today's biggest spiritual challenge. Elvis Presley was the first and most famous "canary in the coal mine" with this issue. Long before Michael Jackson, his legendary life and death warned the world about how important it is to deal with this challenge, with open eyes, heart and spirit. This new archetype of spiritual development that emerged in the 20th century may be Elvis's biggest legacy of all; arguable greater than his enduring popularity as an entertainer. This may well be the secret key that unlocks the mystery of why his legend continues to endure so strongly all these decades after his death. David E. Stanley, along with psychologist and integrity expert Dr. David S. Gruder, illuminate these details in this profound and timely book chroniling Stanley's seventeen-year spiritual journey with his stepbrother and mentor Elvis Presley. "Conversations With the King: Journals of a Young Apprentice" reveals the Elvis that few knew and all can learn from - Elvis the mystic and healer.</p>

My Brother Elvis: The Final Years

In My Brother Elvis, David Stanley shares his harrowing experiences while on the road as a 16 year old bodyguard to the King of Rock n’ Roll. The final 5 years of Elvis Presley’s life were filled with his greatest triumphs and his toughest tribulations, as the iconic star fought a war with addiction he would tragically lose at the age of 42. Though surrounded by those who loved him and revered around the globe, Elvis battled the demons of fame, depression and loss, and those demons eventually proved too strong a foe. Despite the efforts of his family and friends, Elvis Presley eventually succumbed to his addiction on August 16, 1977, leaving a trail of devastation and loss felt worldwide to this day. In sharing this intimate account of his stepbrother, David hopes to reach those who are also suffering from addiction—some 15 million from prescription drugs in the US alone. Though many never knew, Elvis was famous for far more than music, as he was the ultimate giver to those around him. In this spirit of giving, David is revealing and laying bare the cold, hard realties of addiction, in the attempt to help as many addicts as possible recover successfully from this often-fatal disease.
