Summary: Fascinating
Review: If the stories related in this book are accurately recorded and not embellished, John Holland is indeed a gifted medium, right up there with John Edward, James van Praagh, George Anderson, and other well-known American mediums.
Holland begins with his early life, when his father called him "the different one." After moving to California, he had more and more psychic and mediumistic experiences. "I had to figure out a way to harness this energy or gift so that I could live my own life," he writes. It was not until he went to England at age 34 that he began to fully understand and develop his gift. There he attended Arthur Findlay College, the center of spiritual and psychic investigation and instruction in the UK. When he returned to the United States, he no longer found it necessary to supress his talents as he now understood how to use them.
Holland relates a number of very interesting, informative, intriguing, and inspirational stories. As an example, there is the story of Dick, a skeptical but open-minded East Coast radio announcer. Dick's deceased father came through with his name, Carl. As evidence, Carl mentioned to his son how they once enjoyed listening to Al Jolson phonograph records together. Later in the reading, Carl told his son to give his love to his girlfriend. Dick laughed, unaware of any girlfriend. The father then explained that the woman lived in the apartment above him. Dick later investigated and confirmed that his father had had a romantic relationship with the woman in the apartment above, but had kept it to himself because he wasn't sure his children would approve. Such evidence as this, information unknown to the sitter, seemingly rules out telepathy or mind reading on the part of the medium. In the final chapters, the author explains how things come to him in his clairvoyance and clairaudience. He also answers a number of questions about mediumship and the spirit world. The open-minded reader should find this a fascinating read.

Summary: Born Knowing is The Real Deal, Highly Recommended
Review: John Holland has given all of us a gift, and that is to honor, embrace, and USE our natural and highest sense of all, our Divine and inherent connection to the Light and life that is as real on the other side, as it is on Earth.
John shares with compassion on how difficult it is to accept multisensory awareness. I know, as I went through that same process. It's not an easy one, and John encourages all who do have this gift to honor it, and in so doing, you will be serving humanity much more than staying in a spiritual closet.
John brings to light that the life of our loved ones IS alive, and they are with us, we just have to believe that just because we can't see them with our eyes, does NOT mean that they aren't here!
This book is a wonderful contribution to raise the spiritual consciousness of all people. It will open your mind, and teach you much! Highly recommended from my heart, Barbara Rose, author of 'Individual Power' and 'If God Was Like Man'. Borntoinspire.Com

Summary: EDUCATIONAL & INSPIRATIONAL
Review: John Holland has hit a home run with this book, his first. John is a medium - someone able to communicate with the dead. In this book he covers discovering his gift and the twists and turns he takes to avoid using his talents full-time. Eventually John gives in to this gift and learns to fine tune his talents so that he can provide comfort to many. The book includes some basic descriptions of psychic gifts that is helpful for beginners and also offers many stories of the tender reunions between the living and the so called "dead". Highly recommended book.

Review: This book is not to be missed!
I bought this book as soon as it was released, and I finished it in a day and half. John describes his life story with fascination, and has a great sense of humor. I was amazed at his 'knowing' since his young childhood, and always perserved his seeking for the truth, never giving up. His intutions in guiding him to California and to England, made me realize my own psychic potential. The best part was the last chapters describing how to develop one's psychic abilities by meditation and psychic games. This book is a winner!

Summary: ITS NOT A BAD BOOK, BUT ITS NOT GREAT EITHER
Review: This isn't a bad book, but its not great either. Its mildly interesting. A far better book on basicly the same subject is John Edward's ONE LAST TIME. ONE LAST TIME has significantly more depth, more substance and offers more insight into the evolution of a psychic medium and the medium's work. I highly recommend ONE LAST TIME. Edward's book CROSSING OVER is good too, though, I felt not as good as ONE LAST TIME. BORN KNOWING does not offer the insight and substance. The writing, at times, is fairly trite. But again, I bought it and read it and was glad I did.
