Ask the Animals: Life Lessons Learned as an Animal Communicator [Paperback]

Kim Ogden-Avrutik (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2003

The twenty-four true stories in this book show that animals have their own individual personalities, likes and dislikes—and, often, spiritual lessons to share. In fact, Dr. Ogden-Avrutik believes that animals can be spiritual gifts, put in our path to help us grow. Time after time, she and her human clients are granted surprising insights into the wisdom and emotional life of the animals they love. These heartwarming stories celebrate the loving bond between humans and their animal companions, and show what wonders are possible when we stop to listen to what our animal friends have to tell us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pearls of Wisdom from our 4 legged companions, October 26, 2003

This review is from: Ask the Animals: Life Lessons Learned as an Animal Communicator (Paperback)

This book should be read by all who revere and respect their animal companions. It helps your mind open up to your pets as much as your heart already has. The stories in this book reveal the integrity of canine/feline/etc. spirits by demonstating the intelligence and honesty these wonderful creatures express to those who have learned how to hear them. With Dr. Kim's help, I see my own animals differently now, as true participants in our shared life journeys. This book is a quick read and a very worthy re-read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ask the Animals Tells All, September 1, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ask the Animals: Life Lessons Learned as an Animal Communicator (Paperback)

I've always felt close to my pets and felt like I had a special connection to them. I've even imagined that they talked to me and then I would answer back. Sometimes it seems unreal, but they do what I was thinking. After reading Dr. Kim's book, now I think I'm not totally alone or imagining all of this. It makes total sense to me! READ IT IF YOU LOVE ANIMALS AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T!
