After Death Communication: Final Farewells [Paperback]

Louis LaGrand (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 8, 1998

Forty-two percent of people surveyed claim to have had some type of after-death contact with a loved one. This book examines those contacts -- seeing, hearing, or sensing the presence of the deceased; feeling a touch; smelling a fragrance; meeting the loved one in a dream; unusual appearances of birds and animals; and other unexplainable happenings -- all of which have provided millions with relief that their loved ones still live on.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Louis LaGrand makes great strides toward removing the shroud of mystery from a subject with which everyone should be acquainted. Although a self-described skeptic, LaGrand has come to a conclusion in favor of the reality of after-death communication, and stresses its benefits for those in grief, those attempting to comfort the grieving, and those who simply want a better understanding of their mortality and what waits for them beyond death. LaGrand's research is impeccable, and his method of presentation is professional while remaining accessible.

This review is from: After Death Communication: Final Farewells (Paperback)

Dr. la Grand does a fine job of research,interviewing,and very sensibly explaining a complex subject area and I rank his book--Final Farewell as among the top four books that I have read, on after death communications and experiences. After reading 50 plus books I can say that he holds your attention and re-reading certain chapters are always reassuring to help calm the mind. His delivery of the facts and events are enough to make one a believer in after death visits. And after talking to him on the phone ,his sincerity is evident and interest and intent is outstanding. This is conveyed in his book via his writing style . A must book for your library and s great book to purchase and donate to your local hospice for the benefit of many others.

I first read this book after my grandfather died several years ago and found it immensely informative and comforting. The book is extraordinarily well researched and written. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject matter.

2.0 out of 5 stars I wasn't looking for a textbook when I read this book., June 26, 2000

This review is from: After Death Communication: Final Farewells (Paperback)

"Final Farewells" reminded me too much of a college textbook. Although some of its parts remain somewhat interesting, most of it is just so coldly written. There really is nothing moving about the way the author writes.
