I first heard about this book one afternoon, stuck in the house, and watching Dr. Phil. Of course, Dr. Phil remains the skeptic, but I'm the sucker. That being said - I didn't seek out the book, but Wednesday I was in the library where I noticed it in the new books section. I ended up sitting down in the reading area and reading half of the book there. At that point, I had already cried twice.

The best way I can describe this book is to categorize it as a paranormal, new age, self-help book. It really makes you think. Of course, the ghost stuff is good. Most of his advice is common sense, and his ideas line up with other mediums' ideas. But he has a way of explaining things to make you see them more clearly (ex - The Power of Fear). I especially enjoyed his explanation of the 7 Chakras and meditations to open certain areas. I'll be going to the library tomorrow to see if they have any of his other books.]]>
