Upcoming Changes: Prophecy and Pragmatism for the Late Nineties ( a Michael Book)

Rating:
Summary: Didn't seem like true Michael material
Review: Having long been a reader of the Messages from Michael series by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, I was pretty disappointed with this book. The voice of the author, Joya Pope, seems to overpower the voice of Michael, and I often doubted whether the information was accurately channeled. I disliked the tone, political correctness, and over-focus on the lives of celebrities. Many of the comments I have on this book also apply to Joya Pope's The World According to Michael. Much of the information in these two books was contradictory to the previous Michael material I have read. I haven't given up yet though--I've read some of Shepherd Hoodwin on websites, and will try his books next.

Summary: April 2001- This book is still an Eye Opening!
Review: I found Joya's book to be right on target in viewing the changes we as a planet and indeed, as a species face at this time.

The voice of Michael through Joya, sounds exactly like my many years of work with the same group entity.

Though another reviewer and obvious Chelsea Quinn Yarbro /mystery/sci-fi fan couldn't "hear" Michael through this writing, informed students of the Michael material will be well acquainted with the "roles" we select during our earth plane schooling and would know that the channelers own role affects the vocabulary Michael speaks from. Joya- a "sage"- delivers her Michael messages with a bit of picante sauce. If you're a serious "scholar" and find picante too spicy, try the boiled chicken you'll get from another role/author.

Pope's prediction of the loss of 20% of the world's population gave me a shudder when I read this book hot off the presses. Now- in 2001, after watching the weekly reports of mass loss of life through earthquakes, floods, fire, tidal waves, hurricanes and other scenarios- and adding to that the weird multiple shootings, political genocides and ethnic cleansings we have seen- 20% doesn't seem that far fetched.

I especially enjoy Joya's/Michael's calming effect about where to go and what to do with our lives while all this shaking and quaking is going on.

For those who haven't read the book yet- don't be put off by the "...in the late nineties" title reference. There is information that is remaining informative and helpful for the next 20 years also.
