I enjoyed this book for its trippy, beautiful stories of the author visiting Heaven. I was deeply touched by the many wonderful reconnections the author made with her cherished family members reunions. For these two reasons, I recommend that anyone who is an avid reader of spiritual reality books read this book to the very end.

However, I was disappointed in various parts of the book due to problems with spelling and sometimes grammar. I would love to see the author get her book edited, even now after publishing (which is possible). It would make for a much easier read.

Uplifting

I read this book not long after my mother died and I found it compassionate, reassuring and uplifting. In some ways the content was not a surprise.

Interesting, although my beliefs differ slightly

I have read different books on this subject, I believe there are different levels to the after life, if we are very bad we will go to the lowest dark level, and if we have led good unselfish lives we will go to the lighter levels, somewhere like the author describes. It seems more believable otherwise what have we learnt if we can be evil and go to the same place as someone who has been a good person in life. I loved the book 'Soul on the Street' by William Roache, (Ken Barlow from Coronation Street) he's understanding of heaven, and his beliefs, through his own spiritual experiences are amazing.

Not What I expected

This book was not at all how I thought it would be. It is mostly about the writers experiences than the messages of her clients. Not once does she ever mention God in internet of her readings or when she “visits” the spiritual world. NDE’s from all over the world always mention God.

The entire book just rambles on. It’s like she is just talking to her friend. No well drawn out stories of the readings. It’s just matter of fact or her opinion. It also does not flow very well either.

A good interpretation of the afterlife. Although, I wasn't aware that people could just visit there? I thought we only go there when we pass over? Anyway, I enjoyed reading about all the spiritual sittings that the author gives to her clients in her job as a Medium, it was all very interesting. But as the author says in the last sentence of this book "I know that this world is my home just now and that in all honesty, Heaven can wait." Good read though.

Great read

I am so envious of you Gaynor, living in both worlds! Thank you for your book it was an inspiring read. I literally got through it so quickly what a page turner, it was as if you were talking to me, that we were having a conversation. I am glad you write about heaven it brings me and I'm sure others comfort. I wish you all the success you deserve. Ps your manna sounds wonderful.

I really wanted to like this book, but it was very difficult to read due to all the grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors. She constantly uses ‘s for plurals, uses “there’s” for “theirs”, random capitalization, etc. Definitely needs editing and proof-reading before publishing! Secondly, there was little new and interesting in this book. Just one “medium’s” ramblings on her dream visits to “heaven” and stories of readings which were very ho-hum.

It was good

I enjoyed reading it. If Heaven really is like how it has been described here then there should be no fear of death in anyones mind. Infact this book makes u long for life after death. Sceptics may read it as a fantasy but for the believers, this book will make u feel good.

Life Changing

Absolutely love the stories and perspective the author shares. I've had huge anxiety about death (I am only 20 years old!!) And this book has brought me way more peace and understanding. I must EMBRACE every moment to the fullest and live in the present, I will be taken care of...

Reassuring

I love the honesty and the beauty of Gaynor's gift. She shares it all from her childhood experiences throughout adulthood. She has reassured me of things I innately knew that society almost discredited. Our souls are eternal. I know my loved ones are happy on the Other Side but yet still with me.

Enjoyable book

The book was a good read. I was immersed in the prose but I also had a few moments of 'can it be true?' It's tempting to get carried away and totally believe, but the way Gaynor describes things seems just a little too 'perfect'. I hope I'm wrong. Good read anyway.

Enthralling Read

Such an interesting book it certainly makes you realise that there is an afterlife. I would really recommend this to anyone interested in the afterlife. I would really love a reading by this talented Medium.

I don’t know why I keep reading this kind of stuff, after all, it’s only ever somebody’s opinion, isn’t it?

From that premise, I gave three stars because I found it a little ‘light.’ But that’s only somebody’s opinion, isn’t it...

Very sweet

It is brave to be vulnerable and expose your true self, and you did a great job.
My only complaint was that the word "whilst" was used like a million times and that was distracting.

I enjoyed this book, it was a beautiful read - and I'm thinking about it now, post-read, a lot. Some things bothered me a little, left me questioning, but still overall a very feel good read. Lots to think about.
The editing, grammar - lack thereof, was very distracting.

remarkable

I love this book and it made me humble knowing my mother and sister and aunts and cousins are happy in the afterlife. I also see feathers and take it as a sign of loved ones .

Wonderful

This book grabbed me at the first page. I couldn't stop reading it. So only put it down when I had to.
The last chapter was bitter sweet for me. I wanted to read more, and more, while realising that it has to end sometime.
R.I.P. nice book.
