Review: After reading this book, I am no longer afraid of dying, I realize that this is just the beginning, that we live on forever. The real-life readings that George does are incredible. It gives me hope and makes me feel better knowing that my loved ones are waiting on the other side and that death is not final
Rating: Summary: superb Review: My husband recently passed on. I use this phrase now instead of saying he died, since reading this book. This book is a must for anyone who lost a loved one or friend. If you feel at a loss and looking for answers, this is the book to read. It will move you both spiritually and emotionally. Because WE DON"T DIE, we just pass over to a better place. Susan Billadea
Rating: Summary: Not as enjoyable as similar books... Review: I found this book to be quite readable, but not as enjoyable as similar books by other authors. Instead of providing evidence and anecdotes about the medium, George Anderson, the author instead spends a considerable amount of time telling his own story. Regardless, for someone interested in the subject matter, the book is worth reading.
Rating: Summary: Comfort After my Loss Review: A friend sent this book to me right after the loss of my 39 year old brother, saying it gave her comfort when her grandmother died years before. I was hesitant, then couldn't put it down. The book brought me great comfort and peace during a trying time. I now recommend it to others who have lost someone.
Rating: Summary: More information and stories that touch the heart and mind Review: George Anderson is a medium who has helped many people reach their departed loved ones. Coming from a Catholic background having gone through the Catholic school system, George was given the prophetic gift at an early age. Since the Catholic Church didn't re-confirm his gifts, George moved on in his spiritual life with encouragement from others and in particular Joel Martin. He was introduced to the public through radio programs that Mr. Martin produced and also television. Although George was not particularly excited about the television spot he understood that this was a way to reach many who had questions about the afterlife. This book does give the reader food for thought. Other authors worth reading on this subject would be Dr. Raymond Moody, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler Ross and Betty Eadie. See my book reviews on these authors.
Rating: Summary: Why do the "skeptics" have to act like such jerks? Review: I was impressed by how Joel Martin was able to refute the skeptics. I saw many consistencies between what George's spirits said about the Other Side, as well as what people say about the Other Side when under hypnosis or after a near-death experience. To me, this also substantiates that there is indeed life after death, as well as other planes of existence that elude conventional science's current definitions.
Rating: Summary: Cruel Deceipt Inflicted on the Invincibly Gullible Review: The George Anderson book offers nothing beyond the usual drab mumbo jumbo in which "psychic" and "medium" charlatans always trade. Anderson asserts that the dead aren't dead (fresh new perspective, eh?); he says they survive; he says they love those they knew in life. Have the skills of typical believers sunk so low that they can swallow George Anderson's nonsense without, at least, laughing inwardly at their own folly? Anderson says nothing, displays nothing, and knows nothing that many better charlatans aren't entirely familiar with. He offers the usual sludge of dull platitudes unlovelied by wit or intelligence. "I see someone coming to you as a father?" Do you know someone who once acted as a father (perhaps a father, say, or an older brother) to someone, even (wow) to you? "He wants you not to feel guilt." (Hmm. You are one of the 99.999% of people who feel some guilt in relationships, are you not?) Use this primilimany test - definitely NOT used by the authors of this ...- on such potential charlatans, in the medium field, as Anderson: Do they let the dead offer overwhelming proof that they are whom they're represented to be? For example, if a carpenter has been "summoned," does Anderson let "the carpenter" demonstrate his honesty by showing intimate knowledge of many odd terms used in carpentry? It would be easy for skilled dead to demonstrate their skills in a fashion few charlatans could easily fake. In contrast, be increasingly suspicious when you hear vague love-peace-chant-"the light" dribble. ...Do, though, try to be a little critical-minded about nonsense. Don't let the world's charlatans just haul you in, like a fish.
