  <default_description>As in the case of James Redfield's &lt;i&gt;The Celestine Prophecy&lt;/i&gt;, once in a while a book comes along that unexpectedly soars to the bestseller lists simply because it feeds a specific spiritual hunger. &lt;i&gt;Talking to Heaven&lt;/i&gt; is one such book. Based on the personal insights and memories of highly acclaimed medium James Van Praagh, &lt;i&gt;Talking to Heaven&lt;/i&gt; offers comforting and startling stories about his contact with the  deceased. Van Praagh could have used this text to prove that his gifts as a medium are authentic--the story about the deceased teenager who led his parents to his murderer is impressive (the result was a murder conviction)--but instead, Van Praagh offers spiritual and psychological comfort to those grappling with the loss of a loved one. He also helps readers develop their own means of talking to heaven. Even those who aren't aching for contact with the deceased will  find Van Praagh's down-to-earth discussions of karma, the afterlife,  and spiritual guides fascinating.</default_description>

I didn't dislike it, but it certainly wasn't my favorite, although parts were intriguing. With the title, &quot;Talking to Heaven&quot; I guess I expected something different.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was very readable, but I just don't know how credible he is. I've seen the author interviewed on TV, and I'm still a skeptic. I understand the concept, but in a broad universal picture what he says just doesn't add up - especially on the human suffering front.
