Goodness Nonu, we agree about something. [falling over in a dead faint emoticon]

Mediums, hoc us pocus IMO !

I know someone who says she is a medium and who insists on telling you who is 'sitting' next to you and what they want to tell you - despite being specifically asked not to. I don't believe but it's very disconcerting.

Thanks again grannyknot - It's an interesting review.

It would love to think that it might be possible have conversations with friends and family no longer around, and see life from a very different angle, but the sceptic in me says that any medium who could facilitate such long dialogues would be a celebrity by now.

Perhaps it was just a vehicle for Irene Kendigs ideas, I will search you tube for an interview with her.

Hi again, here's where the author comments:

I don't believe in mediums...hmm

Thank you grannyknot,

I was intrigued but will look on you tube and try to find review where the author responds to criticism.

I did look for the medium involved but couldn't find anything recent, perhaps she went into hiding when the book became a best seller.

Hi alternativegran I hadn't read the book but googled it because I am a naturally curious person and thought I'd reply to you. I see Irene is a soul-centred life coach whose mission is to inspire conscious, joyous living.

If I were you, I'd read all about the book on the web, watch youtube interviews with the author, and read the reviews (I found one where the author personally responds to criticism) and I'd definitely not spend any money on it.

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.
