| Talking to Heaven: A Medium's Message of Life After Death by Signet The New Age at its worst |
Pandering, hypocritical, assumptive nonsense. Take a look at Van Praagh's resume and it's pretty clear that he communicates with the dead, alright: mainly Benjamin, Grant, and Jackson. He classifies mediumistic talents, drawing on stuff that was discredited a hundred years ago, like apports and ectoplasmic voiceboxes. Gag. He even has the audacity to mention that ectoplasm sometimes "looks like cheesecloth." I guess because that's exactly what its been proven to be. After rehashing all the same Sylvia Browne bunk about vibratory rates and spiritual planes, he has the nerve to bash the Catholic Church for some 20 pages, concluding "I still find it a bit unbelievable the Catholic Church teaches this stuff," and refers to Christianity as "mythology." Wow.
Pass this one by, even if you are a spiritualist. Van Praagh is a cynical charlatan and frustrated screen-writer. The genre holds many more satisfying reads for just about any persuasion. |

| I like James Van Praagh sometimes better than Sylvia Browne. While Browne is more blunt, Van Praagh has a gentler, kinder side. His story about his life and how he became one of the great mediums is truly inspirational. He had hoped to become a screenwriter but ends up talking to the deceased. In most cases, he is comforting loved ones and griefstricken relatives over their loss. Somebody like Van Praagh is comforting to know that death is not the end of the spirit and soul's existence but an entrance into another dimension where there is nothing but unconditional love and goodness. There are times when skeptics have been known to criticize Van Praagh and Browne and others for their line of work. Yes, they have made fortunes but their gift is shared with others. Van Praagh and John Edwards writes from the heart but Van Praagh is gentler, kinder, and more soft spoken. Van Praagh writes about his life and the recognition of his gifts to speak to the deceased. I am more interested in past lives and the future. Of course, I have loved ones on the other side and I wait patiently to reunite with them one day. |
| Talking to Heaven: A Medium's Message of Life After Death by Signet Truly a comfort to those in mourning |
I read this book after losing several people close to me. Some people dont know anyone close to them who had dies. I have known death all too well. At the time, I had lost my father who passed suddenly after heart surgery and then my best friends mother at the age of 48. It comforted me spiritually and emotionally and helped me accept what I wondered all my life. I enjoyed his storytelling and found myself nodding my head 'yes' through the whole thing. I couldnt wait to read more.
I have enjoyed his show and interviews and believe that my angels are watching over me and my family, and that one day, I will see them again.

| Talking to Heaven: A Medium's Message of Life After Death by Signet Deeply Comforting |
Receiving this book as a gift shortly after my mother's passing, I was very grateful to have such a compassionate and thoughtful manuscript at hand. Indeed, it was a great assistence in helping me through that time of mourning.
I also appreciated the encouragement--that we each possess untapped intuitive abilities that are there to be developed. So it was that I eventually enrolled in an esp class to gain better understanding concerning the evolution of the soul and this great work we are all involved in.
I appreciated, as well, how this book compassionately demonstrated how spirit is "alive" even after passing over. This was further explained in The Living Word of Kuan Yin, wherein Buddhist goddess of compassion, Kuan Yin, discusses the "Always" or "Authentic" self (or soul). For the above reasons, I consider this book an essential addition to my spiritual library. |

| As in the case of James Redfield's The Celestine Prophecy, once in a while a book comes along that unexpectedly soars to the bestseller lists simply because it feeds a specific spiritual hunger. Talking to Heaven is one such book. Based on the personal insights and memories of highly acclaimed medium James Van Praagh, Talking to Heaven 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. |
