I read this book many years ago, as it was a selection available in a monthly book club I belonged to at the time. I had recently lost 2 beloved pets (my poodles named Moxie, and Gigi soon after). I was so moved by Jeanne's experiences with her daughter Karen's communication through automatic writing! When I read that it was Karen's job (at that time, I don't know if it still is) to care for the animals as they came to her world, it gave me great peace! My dogs were wonderful members of our family, but nobody that they would have known had passed before them. So there would have been no one there for them, to welcome them home. Knowing some one as caring and loving as Karen was was taking care of our 'babies' was absolutely pure comfort! This book was a great experience. Jeanne and Karen write with such love, you really can feel it as you read. What a loving thing for Karen to do for her mother! You will enjoy this book, it is extraodinary

I too read this book years ago, not long after it was published. I learned about it from my uncle who was a German professor at Chaffee College in Southern California. The author of this book, Jeanne Walker, was one of his co-workers in the English department. He knew her well and had been to her home and met her daughter, Karen, before she died at a very young age (I think she was 20). Jeanne was devastated. This was her only child. She sought the help of a psychic to contact her daughter and later learned to communicate with Karen through automatic writing.

[...]. The fact that two books could have similar information about life after death tells me they could both be accurate. Jeanne's decision to publish this information must have been an act of both bravery and love. She risked the derision of her colleagues to remain true to what she believed about the psychic impressions she was getting.

The book is easy to read, full of information about life on the 'other side', and fascinating from cover to cover.

I just find it interesting that the two people who criticized this book of the "devil"l would even read it in the first place....obviously it's a book about making contact with the deceased - I mean, I'm sure the description of the book is written on the back before they bought it - and then after reading it, they felt guilty to criticize it ! Maybe they should go out and look through the pages of an 'adult magazine' to discover that there are degrading photos inside created by the devil.

I also find it hard to believe that a psychic who is asked by the police department to assist in lending clues to discover where the lifeless body of small child who was stuffed inside a drainage pipe is the "work" of the devil.

These people are funny and bitter humans. Shame on you.

This book truly is one of greatness, not only for its content, but for its ability to help create thought and questions in a subject that has long seemed empty and sad. It truly shows that life's "end" doesn't need to be feared. If a person is truly open and honest with themselves this book will lead to questions that can only be answered when you listen to your soul. In listening to your soul you will never go wrong and can never miss the mark.

When starting off to read this book, I saw that it had some interesting points that have been stated before in past material, writings, teachings, etc. This is once again the so-called "proof" that most everyone is so anxious to receive, so that they can believe something by physical evidence, rather than their own intuition. If you ask, "How is this proof?" the answer is simple. If I prick my finger, I bleed. If you prick your finger, you bleed. If over the thousands of years of written history, the same information was recorded over and over again by different people in different countries over many different generations, how can their be anything different than what has been recorded before. You can call this "plagiarism", or you can look at it in the obviousness that it holds and say "WOW".

There will always be those who have been taught to disbelieve and live in fear and that is the opposite in life that is needed to fulfill the experience of life. You can not know something unless you have something to compare it to. How do you know cold, unless you know hot? How do you know dark unless there is light?

My thoughts on this book are not only based on my ideas, but this book has also held some very specific clues for myself that seems to be sort of a message from loved ones who have crossed over into the next dimension. Such things as a Dachshund named Mandy (which is exactly the name and type of dog I had as a child) Even my family having an Aunt Annie instead of an Aunt Anna or Aunt Anne as most others have, seemed very interesting and personal to my Soul.

You can call the above examples as "Devil" or "Demon" or whatever you see fit, I don't need the approval of others to accept what I hold true in my own Soul. I accept whatever term or whatever idea you have and I encourage you to voice whatever opinion you have.

To end this long review, I will end with my basic theology that others can read and find interesting or hate.

I find most religions as an archaic institution that traps a person's soul rather than giving it avenues of freedom. Too many in this world have their ideas about what is right and wrong and they are willing to kill and demonize those who don't believe the same. That only shows fear! Those who are truly spiritual have no need in convincing others they are right and others are wrong. They only do what they can to expand their experiences and consciousness and if others wish to join, or not, they are happy either way.

Doesn't everyone wish to have a peaceful experience in this lifetime?

The author of this book has "Karen" give the SAME EXACT PHILOSOPHY that you would find in "Our Unseen Guest", written over 50 years before this book was published!

This book was a big dissapointment. If you are a Christian do not read this book , it is blasphemy! The mother contacts a psychic to talk to her dead daughter ( The Bible forbids this). Spirits can & do disguise themselves as our loved ones (evil spirits) to send many messages that are lies. They ofcourse know alot about the deceased person ( it's their job to know us well & find our weaknesses). They try to get people thinking there are many roads that lead to God & Heaven , When it clearly states in the Bible that" No one comes to the Father except thru me( Jesus)". Beware of what you read !!
