Rating:  Summary: A POWERFULLY THOUGHT- PROVOKING BOOK! Review: No matter what one's religious beliefs may be, I think there is a part of us that wants to believe there is more to life than the body which carries us through this world. For people like myself who believe in Buddhist Philosophies, this is particularly true.It does not matter what your religious background may be, "Love Beyond Life" is purely inspirational and compassionate reading. One is left with a clearer understanding that just because we can no longer see our dear departed ones standing beside us, that does not mean their presence is not here. Apart from helping us to understand the concept that life does not end with death, the book gives us a deeper appreciation of life and the importance of expressing our love to those close to us while they are still ours to cherish. To take each day for granted is one of the most foolish mistakes we can make for tomorrow is promised to no one. The book is highly recommended and deserving of a five star rating.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful! Review: This book gave a pretty clear description of the afterlife and offered several cases in which there was no other explanation.I myself had a supernatural experience while reading the book.
Rating:  Summary: A Full and Well Researched Compilation Review: Whether you have just lost a loved one and are grieving sorely; have a general curiosity about the possibility of life after physical death; or even have an academic interest in the subject, this little book is for you! I was clearly taken aback by the myriad of useful historical references and present day research Martin and Romanowski have packed into this book. I was thoroughly satisfied and heart-warmed by the enthralling and encouraging anecdotes peppered throughout and the relevance maintained with each story. The authors' writing is impeccable and succinct - clearly coming less from a pop-culture perspective and more from the true and serious nature of the curious phenomenon coined "After-Death Communications (ADC's)." Many will carry little doubt as to the viability of the "survival" theory once they read this book. References are numerous, from the history of spirit communications in world religions to viewpoints from scholars in many disciplines and of course the personal stories of loved ones who reached through the veil of death to touch someone on this side of life...and there are many! The gamut of ADC's are covered: dream visits to waking apparitions to hearing a departed loved one's voice that saved a life and more. Every page is packed with these and the diverse interpretations of each. Martin and Romanowski's postulate is clear...we do continue to live in some capacity beyond the death of the physical body. Their viewpoint is derived from heavy research into the field of psi (psychic) phenomena and after death communications for over 20 years. Notably their work with well-known psychic medium, George Anderson has garnered them much attention. As Martin conveys in the book's introduction, "...this intertwining of two of life's greatest mysteries offers an unprecedented opportunity to explain direct (after-death) communications, the true nature of death, and the way love endures. Love beyond Life brings forth a new view of a timeless, universal experience." Simply put, Love Beyond Life is brilliantly and humbly written. Read it with an open-mind and heart and perhaps you too will contemplate the unbroken wholeness of all things - that which even death cannot separate!
