John has a way of being so real and true that when you are reading this book you FEEL like you are witnessing the actual event. He shares himself and his experiences with such an open heart and open mind, that there is no way your soul will not benefit from READING this beautiful book!!! In addition to his personal experiences with helping others, he also gives invaluable information in the form of real-life ways that you can pump up your own intuitive muscles to receive messages that you may have not ever noticed otherwise. In this fast paced world today...he gives us permission to slow down and smell the roses of the now and of the roses grandpa might have sent us after passing! Thanks John...you've done it again!

Your book has provided concrete steps that can manifest our happiness in life. Thanks for your great work.

One thought about the chapter you have discussed about the meaning of life, that something which is bigger than our selves.

Our true nature itself is that something bigger than life and oneness with the universe. And it is beyond our mind and body. The meaning of our life, in my thinking, is to grow and to learn to reach that ultimate truth of life and serving people to do so in the process. And that state of truth is peaceful, perfect, and luminous.

The primary importance of this book overall is its detailed confirmation of the reincarnation of ENS James Huston Jr, killed in action in WWII, as the present James Leininger. The text presents evidence in a wonderful and, thanks to Dad suspenseful, way, which is substantial, detailed and entirely adequate to serve as a case proof of reincarnation for anyone who might actually need proof beyond what has been long established.

Of even greater importance, however, is its definitive establishment of visual experience in the intermediate state between death of one physical body and rebirth in another, reported directly from memory without any suggestion or hypnotic probing. James L relates James H jr's experience: "I found you and Mommy [to be, as this was 5 weeks before he was conceived]..at the big pink hotel..on the beach..eating dinner at night." pp153-4. This is the same visual experiencing we all know we do all the time when awake and dreaming, and which we now know, thanks to James, continues ongoing, including throughout the intermediate state as well! In this he has directly revealed our ongoing immortal nature as the self-
same display awareness we have and in a very real way actually are right now. So much thanks to James III and to Mom who knew early, and certainly to Dad for staying with it out of much deep and precious Love for his Son, until even he realized its truth.  .

This book addresses one of life's most learnings.  It helps people to stay rooted in their being here on Earth rather than getting all up in their heads about intellectual concepts that have very little to do with reality.  I'm grateful for this book.

There is nothing like honesty and sincerity to reveal the mysterious offerings of life. I would offer a sub heading, 'Going along with life'.  Noting what life offers as experience  provides the opportunity for life's amazing rewards. It is risky business, accepting life with all  it has to offer, and acknowledging this with gratitude and appreciation. Carolyn James shows the reward of taking the hand of life and to travel with it. Carolyn shows what honesty and sincerity can do for our real nature.

I could deeply relate to the 3 most important things to know. I felt I had a spiritual experience that is often referred to as a near death experience, without the closeness of death. It changed my eternal life for the better. Who's to say, I may have had a little assistance from our friends or maybe family from afar. I will know one day, but for today, I am just very grateful. Thank you for the remembrance.

In spite of the somewhat morbid and scary title, this is an incridible page turner that gives the reader a possible glimpse into what may lay ahead for all of us. It is well written and could serve as a book to calm one's fears about death and the unknown. As the book states, it is not proof of an afterlife, but one certainly wonders how so many unrelated people near death can have basically the same visions. It is a cronicle that the reader is not soon to forget, if ever.

I"ve always been a big believer of signs from our loved ones who have passed. Whether the sign come in the form of a persistent animal encounter, seeing a symbol several times in one day, or in the form of a song that plays when you are thinking of that person, I just don't believe they are coincidences. I recently had an experience on my friend's birthday. I was going out to visit him at the cemetery. I said, "Okay, if you can hear me, let's hear some Wilson Phillips." I pressed scan on the radio and within a minute, I heard them loud and clear singing Hold On. I sang that song at the top of my lungs with tears streaming down my face. As the scan continued on after the song ended, I heard the words of Adele's new song say to me "Hello from the other side!" I know that was him.

This book is a collection of signs from God and loved ones letting us know they are still with us.  I have given it as a gift to friends who have lost loved ones. It's both entertaining and comforting.

Reading this book confirmed for me that if I was continually doubting my eternal salvation, then it was very likely that I was in fact saved. Feelings follow facts and facts have their basis in faith.

This is an intriguing book. Dr Eben Alexander III, a Harvard neurosurgeon, who had been skeptical of life after death becomes a convert to the cause in 2008 after having had his own near-death experience caused by a bout of severe bacterial meningitis and lapsing into a seven day coma.

Dr Alexander who had been a man of logic and firm believer in the scientific method had not believed the spiritual accounts of near-death experiences  that some of his patients described finds himself writing a book in which in his own near death experience he sees "a  beautiful blue-eyed woman in a place of clouds, big fluffy pink-white ones and shimmering beings."

He is told, "you are not here to stay. We will teach you many things but you will be going back." As to the content, I do not want to say more and give away the story!

The book is important not only because of the content but also because of the credentials of the author.  Dr Alexander is a scion of a family of scholars that spans several generations. His grandfather was a surgeon, his father a prominent academic neurosurgeon, the long-time head of the Department of Neurosurgery at Winston Salem, N.C., and former editor of a prominent medical journal, Surgical Neurology.

Dr Alexander III, the author himself has had a distinguished career in clinical and academic neurosurgery at prestigious institutions, so the out of body experience that transformed him from a dismissive skeptic to a firm believer who now asserts that heaven exists-can not be dismissed outright.

I recommend that the seminal work of Psychiatrist Raymond A. Moody Jr., M.D., i.e.,  "Life After Life & Reflections on Life After Life" (1975) or his subsequent work be perused before one reads this book; it would serve as an essential introduction to and a useful reference for the initiate.

For workers in this field-i.e., scientists,  theologians, physicians, and psychologist- the book is a most. For those who have enjoyed pondering this topic, aficionados of the great work of Dr. Raymond Moody, and readers with an open mind on the subject I recommend this book. For those who can neither fathom the reality of near death experiences nor have an interest in the spiritual or scientific basis for such phenomena, the book may still be interesting. MAF

This book has a message I needed to hear. It is a simple idea really, but the way in which the author writes got the the message through all the mental blocks. For those who feel "less then" or wonder about their purpose in life, this book may be comforting. I read the first part very quickly with much excitement for its positive nature. The second part applies to specific life situations and I will be reading this at a slower pace, so that I can examine more closely the nuances of these words and ideas, and hopefully apply them to my life. It is a joyful message. Take heart.

This beautifully written and illustrated children's book (really it's for everyone, young and old), brings Jesus' message alive for us in the 21st century. He promised that we would never die - and Candy Hough who experienced that for herself brings the 'boon' back for the rest of us. Through the eyes of a child, Candy shows us eternal life and the love that never dies.

Some people say, "I'll believe it when I see it." And others say "I'll see it when I believe it." Functional MRIs substantiate the latter: we see what we believe. When you believe that you never die, you'll see miracles in your life everyday and everywhere.

This book shows and tells how we never die, which, when we really know that, we are free to genuinely love ourselves, life, and others. I am reminded of that saying, "No matter what the question, Love is the answer."

Thank you, Candy, and many blessings.

I wasn't sure I wanted to read this book...thought it might be too sad.  However, it was very comforing and reaffirming of life after we pass.

This small book brought a tear to my eye, and also gave me goose bumps more than once.

It's an honest, sincere accounting of a man's experience of not just dealing with the death of his parents, but his real-life experience of establishing afterdeath communication with them.

Even better, it offers tantalizing evidence that when the physical body dies, the person does not. Call it what you want - the soul, spirit, energy body, higher self, mind - there is a huge body of scientific (yes, scientific) evidence that physical death is not the end.

Not only is there life after death, but we can communicate with the loved ones we have lost. They're still there for us, they can communicate with us, and we can talk back to them. You just have to be willing to open your mind and reshape your belief system to accept that it is possible.

The incidents of afterdeath communication author Alexander Peters demonstrates in these pages proves to me that his story is authentic. I say this based on dozens of other books I have read by some of the world's most elite doctors and scientists who have written about the specific nature of afterdeath communications.

These include: Dr. Gary Schwartz, Dr. Michael Newton, Dr. Pim van Lommel, Dr. Eben Alexander, Dr, Raymond Moody, Dr. Elisabeth Kbler-Ross Dr. Brian Weiss, Julia Assante Ph. D., Dr. Larry Dossey and that's just to name a few.

What all of these luminaries agree upon is that afterdeath messages from our loved ones often take the form of not just direct thoughts and actual words that are heard - but seemingly coincidental symbolisms which cannot be mistaken for anything else but a message from the departed.

As this book demonstrates, these symbolic communications can be things like a special song with lyrics containing just the message you need to hear - and that song unexpectedly begins playing on your radio just as you are thinking about your loved one.

Peters tells of amazing confluences involving his cell phone and Blackberry, the appearance of a special bird, the surprise appearance of gifts - and much more.

He packs a lot into this short book. This is obviously not a slick book written by a professional writer, but rather is an honest, readable account penned by an ordinary middle-class guy from a small town in England.

It's a significant contribution to the ever-growing body of literature by scientists and ordinary folks alike who have come to realize -- beyond a reasonable doubt -- that life goes on after death. The fact is, our loved ones never leave our sides. Even after death, they're still right there for us, and close by.

This book is about the best I've seen to convey an opinion that there is continuation of existence after death. I feel this will make a believer out of most everyone.
