Summary: Another intruiguing book! Sylvia does it again.
Review: This is the 8th book of Syliva's that I have read. Like those I have read before and the others who have given their reviews, I too could not put the book down. However, I read mine in one sitting (approximately 10 hours!)I'm pleased that she finally expands on some of the things she briefly talked about in her other books. She goes into detail on what an "imprint" is as opposed to a "haunting". She also explains how to tell the difference between the two. There are also some suprises in it, for she gives readings from some famous people who have passed on and also gives updates on what happened to some very famous people as well (some stayed earthbound, others crossed to the other side immediately etc.) So this was intruiging, and I wanted more! For those of you who have not read any of Sylvia Browne's books and are thinking of purchasing this one, I would recomend "Life on the Other Side". There she explains in detail the process of what happens to our souls when we die. Since I already have read this book, I had no problem in following along with Visits from the Afterlife. However, for those who haven't read "Life on the Other Side", she gives a brief description of this process. Therefore, this book "stands alone". My only real complaint is Sylvia's "bull doggedness" in complaining about our society's inncorrect perception of the Bible. [Sylvia practices gnostism, which is not to be confused with agnostic. She professes this to be what Christ was really about]. She had clearly stated that the Bible has been misinterpreted early on in the book, but she continues to harp on the subject well into later chapters. I grew weary of her arguments, and just wish she would focus more on the subject at hand, and not on peoples' beliefs. Mistaken as they may be, everyone has their own journey and must follow their own spiritual path to where ever it takes them. So relax Sylvia! Overall, it was a good read, and I look forward to her new book coming out on Mother God (can't wait to see her arguments about this one). I hope those who read this find it useful. Peace!

Summary: Slyvia at her best
Review: When I read through the first third of SB's book, I was afraid that she was just going to repeat herself over and over again what was in her previous books. But the further I got, the more interesting it became so I think this is one of her best books since the "Tools" series. I can see that she has been defending herself and her beliefs in her books now. That's sad.
I can imagine how all the Bible thumpers are getting to her.
She makes ONE mistake and does not mention Jesus in a book and all the Christians come down on her at once. Although, she has since said that she was "christian gnostic" instead of "gnostic" it's a little late for her redemption. Personally, I don't think she has to step on eggs shells around people. People don't seem to come down so hard on other spiritual authors (with the exception maybe of John Edward) as they do her. Why? Because she believes in the afterlife? Isn't that what ALL religions promise? Isn't anybody paying attention? Do you have to go to church and put money in the plate that's being passed around to get to heaven? No, you don't! Will you burn in ever lasting Hell for not supporting the church? No, you won't! The whole concept of Hell is man made to keep the people scared and under the Church's control.
There is going to be a spiritual awakening in the world soon (I can see it starting now) so if you don't want to be the last one on board, go within. Find the God in you. He's there and will always be there. We love you Sylvia!
