What if a simple act of kindness, rescuing a turtle from a blistering roadside, triggered a spiritual awakening that would alter the course of your life?

In My First Encounter, Robert Tengelitsch shares his deeply personal and extraordinary journey that begins with an unassuming summer drive and unfolds into a life-altering experience with the Spirit Realm. A turtle named Toby becomes the symbolic catalyst for Robert's transformation as voices from beyond gently guide him through riddles, revelations, and rediscoveries of self.

Told with heartfelt honesty, wit, and vulnerability, this memoir dives into childhood memories, spiritual questions, and divine conversations that challenge the boundaries of what we call reality. As Robert learns to decode the language of the unseen, readers are invited to reflect on their own inner voice, divine purpose, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.

Part memoir, part metaphysical journey, My First Encounter is a story of awakening, faith, and the remarkable truth that sometimes the universe speaks if only we are willing to listen.
