Summary: Fabulous and Comforting!
Review: James Van Praagh shares his amazing gift in warm, comforting stories and explanations of the spirit world that are both enlightening and understandable for the layman. This book brought together for me several (I thought) isolated psychic episodes and made their meaning clearer and more exciting. It is a very warm and comforting feeling to know those we have loved and lost to death are still nearby and taking an active part in our lives.

Summary: A Gift From Heaven by James van Pragh
Review: My 14 year old tabby cat, Angel Indi, crossed over in on 4th June 2001 this year and I was inconsolable even though I'd been studying metaphysics for years, and knew that there was life after death - it all just didn't seem fair and the way that Angel Indi crossed over (he died from feline lymphoma which attacked his central nervous system in the last few days very suddenly - he had been in remission for months and we were doing well and about to stop chemotherapy and then wham ... it didn't make sense). Anyway I stumbled across James Van Pragh's book Talking To Heaven (then again there are no coincidences!) and it immediately gave me comfort and I couldn't put the book down once I'd picked it up. I realised that Angel Indi was fine and well and from reading a lot of the readings that James gave to people which he outlines in his book, I drew so much comfort as the readings he shares with us in his book Talking To Heaven ranges from those who commit suicide, to having lost pets, children, familes, accidents, there was so much comfort in all of the readings as one by one I came to realise that death is just crossing over into the next life, being born into your next one and there is no pain when it happens; and they are met by people within the family and whom love them, and they are taken care of; and they miss us and are waiting to be reunited again with us; and they are with us daily, as much as they can; they are just not in their physical body anymore. After reading James Van Pragh's Talking To Heaven, I have been watching John Edward's Crossing Over series on tv and that too has been a wealth of comfort. James van Pragh has certainly helped heal that wound in my soul and I am very thankful that he went ahead and wrote and published Talking To Heaven. If you're hurting from the death of a loved one, I know that James van Pragh's Talking To Heaven will help you heal and bring you comfort knowing that your loved one is always around you and is safe and well and that you can talk to him/her whenever you want and they will hear you as they are always with you.

Summary: Very Good
Review: I liked James Van Praagh's book Talking to Heaven along with Jenny Crawford's book - Through the Eyes of Spirit. Both mediums give out information and good explanation regarding life after-death. I must admit I have a large appetite for books written by such powerful mediums. Keep up the good work - James Van Praagh and Jenny Crawford. Bless you in your work. Margaret.

Summary: Everyone of us has the Power of James Van Praagh
Review: "Talking to Heaven" has opened my eyes to my Spirit and my Guides,or Guardian Angles.Everything makes sense after reading James Van Praah's Book.The good days,when everything goes your way,and the bad one's, when someone's trying to block you from doing something.I really wanted to know about my dreams.James tells us thats the closes we come to our spirit.When we dream about a family member,or friend that has died ,Its for real.There's so many wonderfull stories of people finding out that there loved one's are still with us in our everyday lives.The one that really touched me was Charlie.James had no idea who the spirit was,untill he was shown pictures on a refrigerator,and described them to Susan,the deaf woman who was there to find out if her loved one was alright.Charlie was her Dog.I almost cried.I have two dogs,and I know they have a soul.I was so happy to read that part of the book.James also teaches us how we can have the same power that he has,but you have to work at it through Meditation and other exercises.The main part about this book is what we already know.Love is the only way,through God.We are all part of God.

Summary: A must to read! Share with others!
Review: I picked up this book on the recommendation of a good friend, so that we may sit and discuss during a book club. I was totally amazed! I've already sent it to two other friends, in order to help them with their healing process after losing loved ones; my partner has done the same for a co-worker who lost her father. I grew up in a Catholic household and still hold *most* of the Catholic beliefs, so I can comprehend the author's background. There are so many "aww" and "wow" moments in this book. You truly must read this, even if you have not personally suffered a loss. (that goes for pets, too) *wink*

Summary: Great Book
Review: I was disappointed to read some of the negative reviews of this book. I consider myself to be an educated person--I've graduated from both college and law school. I have always questioned the existence of heaven and God, especially after the recent loss of a family member. This book confirmed what I have been taught in church my entire life: heaven exists and there is absolutely a life beyond this one. It is difficult to fathom a spirit life because we are earthly. We are limited in our perception. However, this book helps you to understand the mystery of death. This book will reduce any apprehension you may have about dying and help you get back to living your life in spite of your loss.

Summary: Comforting the inner soul
Review: I have read James van Praaghs book Talking to Heaven. It is so comforting to read about someone who has passed over and know that they are with you always. When my mother passed away it was needless to say devasting and I felt such an emptiness and excrutiating pain inside myself. It caused me to question my life. What is it all about? Whats the point? Why am I here? The people we love the most leave us. I felt stranded. When I read the book so many questions were answered for me without me asking. It was so releiving! I now have a peace within and more of an open mind. I am not afraid to die anymore, because we really don't die we just change form and continue to learn. The greatest feeling is knowing we can still connect with our loved one. Life as we know it is not a dead end! Life does continue. We can learn so much if we stay open and listen to what their trying to convey to us. I have had too many experiences now with life beyond to know that what James writes is true. I look forward in meeting him one day soon. I have the upmost respect for him and only wish I could help people the way he has. That has been a hearts desire for me for years. Thank you for easing my pain James. I have such a humbled overwelming confidence now. Tina Marie Gassert

Summary: A believer
Review: I have read all of James Van Praagh's books as well as books written by others on the same subject. I am sorry for the person who gave such a poor review. Obviously that person has never had a spiritual experience and probably won't with the attitude, anger, and closed mind they presented in the review. I have also seen James on T.V. several times. He doesn't project much confidence, but that doesn't mean he isn't for real. Whether he is or isn't, it is still a fact that spirits of people and animals are around us and do try to contact us just like he says. I know this because my husband and I have been hearing our dog for three years now since she passed on to the other side. We hear her paws hit the floor from jumping down off the bed like she did for 15 years when she was alive. We are not crazy or imagining it. There is no doubt it is her and she wants us to know she is there. I have also felt her energy go through my body. There is no feeling like that one, for sure. I know that James knows what I am talking about. I also know that God makes this possible. We are not supposed to know everything there is about the spirit world while we are here on Earth. These experiences have made a true believer of me, and I thank God everyday for people like James who help us with our sorrows. Keep up the good work, James. Don't let unfortunate people discourage you. You are a messenger of God.

Summary: James Van Praagh's "Talking to Heaven" --- a guidebook
Review: "Talking to Heaven" came to my attention, as part of my spiritual journey led me to information that explained the things that continued to happen around me, as my son Jason and I began a new way of "being" together after his transition to Heaven. Many things happened and I was always led right to the source of information that I needed, at just the right time, by following what "others" around me suggested...following only the things that resonated in my heart. I find James Van Praagh to be sincere, and humble in a very likable way,and his manner of sharing his gift of healing resonates in my heart, assuring me that he is truly genuine and I appreciate the information he shares. I believe he speaks the truth when he mentions an "inner knowingness" as the way to access this information, and all of the things happened before I read this book, and I assure you that we are definitely connected to our loved ones always, in "all ways" and gifts of love are the blessings we receive from our loved ones when we realize that being "aware" in a new way and trusting our feelings is all we have to do...just believe!
