I found this book to be really amazing and carefully researched. The authenticity is really incredible. It turned George Washington from a wooden stick figure, into the really amazing person he was. I know some people will question the authencity of the material. But, to me, the wealth of detail, emotions, make it an unquestionably good read.

This book was written several decades ago, but there was a small readership in those days for information channeled from the Other Side. Thanks to an ever-growing acceptance of this type of writing, we are able to gain access to valuable information.
Here is the story of George Washington's life, told by the man himself from the Other Side. I was fascinated from start to finish. Perhaps there are those who would argue that this was not channeled, but that instead, Edith Ellis concocted the whole story. This seems implausible, given the wealth of detail and feeling that comes across. Of course, it is up to the reader to decide.
I had Amazon send this book to my mother, and after she read it, she sent it to me. There was something strange in the ending of the book, and on closer inspection, I found that the last 2 chapters were missing, and the void was filled with a repeated section of pages from earlier in the book. I asked Amazon to replace it, and I also asked them to send me a copy as well.
My copy had all the correct pages--but apparently Amazon sent my mother another defective copy; the important last 2 chapters are once again missing, thus cutting out Mr. Washington's presidency and his death.
Of the three copies I requested, two were defective. I was surprised that Amazon did not take the trouble to see how many of these defective books they have in stock; they replaced a defective book with just another defective book. I wonder if they have notified the Hay House Publishing Company of this.
Amazon's service is usually outstanding, but until they work this glitch out, save yourself a hassle and order it directly from Hay House Publishers.

Yes, this book is channeled literature. However, if you have an open mind and can get past the messenger, you'll find the message is both entertaining and enlightening. Personally, I find the realistic detail of this book to be very refreshing. It seems we all too often look upon George Washington as a hero and leader without par and forget to actually get to know the man. In this book you'll get to know the man and Mason that was the father of our country.

Without a doubt one of the best books published. You will have no doubt this great nation was founded with God's guidance. Great read!

I'm writing in response to some of the other reviewers who were saying the book is not historically accurate. First of all, a lot of events in history (chronologically or otherwise) are disputed among historians due to lack of primary sources, unfortunately, high school textbooks teach history as if this weren't the case and often unanimously present one version of history as "the way it really was" (Read historian James Loewens' 'Lies My Teacher Told Me' for more info on the topic). While one can't dispute certain amply recorded events, like the Siege of Yorktown happening in 1781, you'd be shocked to learn how many other key events and details of a time of history or person's life are uncertain and still disputed among academics today.

Also remember that there may have been intentional white-washing done by the people who lived at the time and afterwards. So don't trust everything you may read in a history book. Events that are today considered 'fact' may not have transpired that way at all.

Second, I've read a lot of books on reincarnation, the afterlife, etc, (serious, reputable authors Ian Stevenson, Michael Tymn and Walter Semkiw) and its been mentioned among several of the sources I've read that spirits on the other side tend to get fuzzy on the finer details of how their lives specifically transpired in a lifetime on Earth. They all remember the major, important events but they can get some of the finer details, like sequence of events, dates, etc., mixed up, which is understandable in GW's case considering he's been dead for more than 200 years. Third, you have to remember Edith Ellis or the people around her were far from being GW historians. If she had channeled GW with a historian present, the historian could have asked questions that would have led GW to offer clarifications, elucidations, etc, on how events really transpired.

At the end of the day, you just have to trust your gut-feeling on whether this is authentic or not. Read the sample pages and make up your own mind. Don't let other people bully you into thinking its fake before you've given it a chance.

Personally, I found the book to be AMAZING. Rarely, do you ever learn of the intimate, most sincere details of such a prominent person's life -- his fears, his insecurities, his hopes, his most cherished, private memories -- in the backdrop of what was then a HUGE risk and gamble -- to take on the greatest military power at the time with a bunch of townies and farmers. (Though they couldn't have pulled it off without French intervention, which we have Benjamin Franklin to thank for.) What can I say? Parts of this book truly touched me. Especially his descriptions of what he felt for Martha, his parents and his country. That the spirit world should have actively intervened in the whole process of the American Revolution goes to show there is a divine plan to everything we do... though it was 100% up to GW to rise to the occasion. (He easily could have chosen not to, you know. That is what Free Will is about!) But I digress... This is the only book out there that can truly make us appreciate how wonderful and yet vulnerable and HUMAN this man was. Can't recommend it enough!

This book provides a really good perspective on the times and life of George Washington. It is a good read, even if you do not believe in the ability for those departed to contact us in this life.

This book is either a fictional meta-history, or a new look at George Washington through the eyes of a talented intuitive medium. Either way, the philosophical hallmarks of the challenges Washington faces are wonderfully paroachial and epoch making.

Brought to life by the research and development of medical intuitive and motivational speaker, Caroline Myss. This book helped me flesh out the history of the making of American Indepedence and Spirit in a lively way that humanises Washington's incredible achievements as a militia leader, spiritual seeker, and loving husband.

This book is absolute garbage. A delusion from a fraud claiming to channel GW psychic life story.

Half of this book is spent in trying to justify channeling. Nothing in this book is factual. In fact the info does not come close to comparing documented events and timelines. Save your money unless you are bent on wasting your time and money on a worthless fantasy. She is no Edgar Casey... thus you have been fairly warned about this farce.

I thought this book was great,well written it skipped around a little. But you really got to know how president Washington was feeling. He seemed to be just a normal yet strong willed person. I actually believe that this was a channeled novel. I hope someone does consider this and reads this book.It is well worth it!!!

I've heard Caroline state many times on how she is a history buff. Unless that is your thing save your money
