Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The amount of research that has been published on after-death contacts (ADC's) is the latest body of knowledge collected from people who are not afraid to speak out on "paranormal events" that just might be the "norm."

This book explores the ultimate in after-death communications. Profound messages are simply written and are sure to touch the most skeptic soul.

During the adoption of her youngest child this non-catholic author was miraculously assisted by the Blessed Mother Mary. Eleven years later, she would again experience serendipitous events and the presence of Mother Mary in the painful surrender for adoption of her first grandchild, who was conceived in rape. As you live through the eyes of this nurse who has been unexpectedly graced by Mary's presence you will know why the most frequently heard comment is " I could not put the book down." The author opens the possibility that each soul is placed by the grace of God. A near death experience, a past life regression, psychiatric experiences and a look at the abortion issue are included in this refresingly honest and easy reading book that is beautifully illustrated by Ruth Hook Colby.

From the Author

"My life's journey has taken an unexpected turn....from holistic nurse to author. I consider Conversations with Mary a culmination of my soul's work. Our Blessed Mother wishes to reach people of all faiths and religions. I believe that is why she chose a non-Catholic to write this book. My fervent hope is that your mind will be open to a new thought and your heart will be changed as you become aware of synchronous events in your own life that some call "coincidences."

This review is from: Conversations with Mary: Modern Miracles in an Everyday Life (Paperback)

In Conversations With Mary: Modern Miracles In An Everyday Life, Barbara Harris writes compelling about a miraculous rainbow image of the Blessed Mother Mary that is permanently etched on a forty foot window of a building in Clearwater, Florida. This image has been viewed by over one million visitors to date. Barbara writes of her causal visit to the shrine and unexpectedly receiving a message from Mary to "tell of our meetings" by writing them down in a book. Within these pages are riveting accounts of mystical adoptions, a near death experience, a chilling account of the psychiatric system from the perspectives of both a nurse and a patient, an examination of the abortion issue, and more. Enhanced with the illustrative artistry of Ruth Hook Colby, Conversations With Mary is a deeply engaging, thoughtful, challenging presentation of a Christian paranormal, revelatory experience.
