View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Dr. Rick ScarnatiAbout Dr. Rick Scarnati : I am a follower of Jesus Christ who "super-charged" me with the Holy Spirit, who enabled me to achieve impossible goals in my life. My only purpose is to reflect the Light of God in everything i do, and to effect constructive change in the world. I accomplish this by treating psychiatric jail inmates and teaching medical students and others. I am involved in Human Rights, Civil Liberties. and a number of professional organizations.
What my design represents:
GOD’S LIGHT AUDIOBOOK COVER is a complete gestalt, presenting the core essence of God's Light, ever expanding rainbow colors, our great artist utilizes in creation of beauty and wonder.
GOD’S LIGHT AUDIOBOOK is about a two-hour hypnotic time regression, in which a Clinical Psychologist Hypnotist sent me back in time, to discover missing time periods in my life, including a preverbal birth experience.
Unexpectedly, I went back to my creation from GOD’S LIGHT.
GOD’S LIGHT is the clearest, most brilliant, beautiful, sparkling, dazzling, unimaginable, indescribable, Light.
What is special about my cover design is that, it portrays the phenomenal artistic ability of God. From the purest center of pure light emanates all the colors of the rainbow in which God painted all the beautiful wonders in our creation.

The greatest award I received in my life was: During the time I was a Prison Psychiatrist for over 8 years, the state cut back the mental health treatment for my inmate psychiatric patients. I went on strike. After 3 days of being on the strike line alone, I realize it was a lost cause.. I returned to the prison. When I walked into the main hallway the warden and the correctional officers were applauding me, and all the inmates in the prison were banging their cups on the bars out of their appreciation of me attempting to get them better psychiatric care. I began crying; it was the greatest gift I had ever received.
