I came across a review of this book by Irene Kendig, its an American best seller and has won several awards, has anyone read it?

It advocates a very different kind of theology, but it's not in the library and I dont want to waste my pennies just out of curiosity.

I agree with what jinglbellsfrocks said.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 11-Jul-15 19:43:19

Did I really say that back then? Changed my mind. Load of bollocks.

Remember the advice you were given about "psychics" who are " in touch with the other side"?

I don't believe in mediums. As someone has already said they are either deluded or charlatans.

However, I'm not sure about whether "spirits" try to contact us. When I was seriously ill I saw my father at my bedside (he had been dead some 20 years then). When my grandmother was dying she told me she was happy to go because my grandfather and my uncle had come to show her the way. When a dear friend died I had a dream about her running (she was in a wheelchair for the last months of her life) when I spoke to her she smiled and said not to worry as she was OK now. Since my DH has died there have been many instances where I have thought he was here with me. These may all the result of the brain playing tricks but I think many people get a great deal of comfort from it.

In the "angels" forum, I gave several incidents of how I have seen those I have loved and "lost" as you might say. Even smelling coffee, that my Mum always drank, or her perfume. As a nurse in homes for the elderly I witnessed the soul leave the body at death, and seen beautiful colours around them. After many years of enquiry and experiences, I very much believe we are spirit and come to live in a physical body to learn, to share, to contribute to the welfare of others, to teach, most of all to forgive and love. I believe God is a force, a universal being and loves us all. Blessings to all, Margaret.

So nice to read the last post on here (Coles)! Why are people so earthbound and cynical? If we,'re not here to learn then what,s the point of anything?
