The Betty Book chronicles the development of the author's wife as one of the best mediums of the 20th century. It describes how she first discovered her talent, how she developed it, and what her research came to mean. It also introduces the reader to the "Invisibles"--a group of people living on the inner planes who guided Betty and helped her understand the nature of life without a physical body.

About the Author
Stewart Edward White was a writer of Western adventure novels who turned his attention toward the inner adventures of life when his wife Betty demonstrated mediumship abilities. While in trance, Betty explored the nature of the inner worlds, while Stewart recorded her comments. From the wealth of material gained in this fashion, Stewart wrote a number of classic books: The Betty Book, Across the Unknown, and The Unobstructed Universe.

This review is from: The Betty Book (Paperback)
Stewart Edward White recorded information from his medium wife Betty until her death and then purportedly continued to receive such information from her thereafter. At least he isn't claiming it's from God like Neale Walsch! My review of Walsch's "Conversations with God" are appropos here as well. BUT...the words of this book resonate far better. Furthermore, White followed it up with one of the great classics of metaphysics, "The Unobstructed Universe." The "Betty Book" is a fine (almost necessary) introduction to "The Unobstructed Universe." The world view presented in these works (wherever they actually came from) is profound, logical, and fills in many a void in other metaphysical systems. So, if you are turned off by the stated source, just ignore it and read on. Frankly, almost all the books I read are replete with the author's personality, predispositions, assumptions, etc.--it's hard to read between the lines and to separate the wheat from the chaff. In this book, however, that only applies to the source. The material (and, especially in the following volume) is first rate. White also wrote 5 or 6 additional spiritual works which are lesser lights but worth reading. Be aware, however, that he was a professional writer of Westerns. The other spiritual books of his I've read are: "Anchors to Windward," "The Job of Living," "The Road I Know," "The Stars Are Still There," and "With Folded Wings."

This review is from: The Betty Book (Paperback)
As someone who works with deep trance channeling as a profession and who has a strong interest in the subject of consciousness, I found this book to be extremely interesting, as it parallels my own experience with a very talented open deep trance channel. It is also not that far from the experiences of Jane Roberts and Robert Butts. The "group" of two channels that formed is enlightening for students of trance channeling and somewhat rare as a published account. Betty's friends, who wrote "Our Unseen Guest" under a pen name make the dynamic all that more interesting.If you have a serious interest in trance channeling, this is a good book to add to your collection. It was written so many years before "Seth Speaks" that it is almost amazing that Jane Roberts and Robert Butts may never have seen it. If they had, it may have accelerated their own experiences.

This review is from: The Betty Book (Paperback)
This book was a little hard to follow since the concepts being presented were new, or rather, given in a different way than would be today.The group of people who investigated this phenomena which was happening to and among them, really gave it - and each other- the benefit of the doubt, and produced written records of what most of us may never personally experience (the "may" is subject to discussion). I found the subject matter very interesting and challenging to the imagination. I ordered The Unobstructed Universe after reading this book (forgive me for not being able to recall the book before this and after The Betty Book by the same author), and I think the information - barring what I don't know of the second book - flows in a coherent way. To say how one book gave way to the other would give away something to the reader which may be to the detriment of the story's credibility, so I will just say that it is our good fortune that Stewart E. White continued "their" work together. If you are a believer in a parallel universe,physical man and spirit,or just curious about it,this book will be right for you.
