"For a long time, Frank Sontag blazed his own trail. Growing up in an Italian-American neighborhood in Cleveland, Frank and his family moved to the Los Angeles area in the mid-1960s when he was nine years old. Precocious for his age-he skipped fourth grade-he was the product of the do-your-own-thing, love-the-one-you''re-with attitude of the Sixties. He worked in supermarkets during his twenties while pursuing pleasure. A horrific motorcycle accident should have killed him, but he survived, which set him on a quest to find out why he was still alive. His search led him to a grab bag of spiritual philosophies, with New Age thought leading the way. A career change into Los Angeles radio gave him the opportunity to host a Sunday night talk show called Impact on the biggest classic rock station in Los Angeles-KLOS 95.5 FM. For twenty-one years, Frank led a region-wide discussion on spirituality that was open to all faiths and all philosophies, except for one based on a Savior who died on a cross nearly 2,000 years ago. Little did Frank know that Jesus Christ was calling him on a different line." -- cover.
