Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Psychic and spiritual teacher Sylvia Browne has appeared on all the right talk shows--Montel Williams, Larry King Live, Coast to Coast with Art Bell, and Unsolved Mysteries, to name only a few--touting her bestselling books Adventures of a Psychic and The Other Side and Back. Find out what all the ruckus is about in Book I of her Journey of the Soul series. Browne primarily channels through her spiritual guide, Francine, but she occasionally treats readers with insights from her "psychic grandmother" Ada. Together they talk about subjects ranging from meditation to reincarnation in three separate, thought-provoking sections. Founder of The Society of Novus Spiritus, a church based upon Christian Gnostic theology in Campbell, California, Browne introduces the book with a prayer, hoping that "the new spirit of enlightenment will rise out of all guilt and fear"--a worthy intention that signals the astonishing array of topics touched on in the 228 pages of this book.

About the Author

SYLVIA BROWNE was born in Kansas City, Missouri. At three years old, Sylvia's psychic powers were revealed when she announced that her grandfather was dead (he was), and that she would have a baby sister in three years. Just as predicted, Sharon was born one month short of Sylvia's sixth birthday. Sylvia's grandmother, Ada Coil, was herself a medium; and Celeste, Sylvia's mother, grew up in a home where visions were commonplace. Although she herself was not psychic, Celeste accepted it as normal, if somewhat annoying. She did not welcome more eccentricity in her life, however, and would do nothing to encourage it in her daughter. Their lifelong relationship was strained, but Sylvia's relationship with her father was very close and loving. Millions of people have witnessed Sylvia Browne's incredible psychic powers on TV shows such as Montel, Larry King Live, Entertainment Tonight, and Unsolved Mysteries; and she has been profiled in Cosmopolitan, People magazine, and other national media. Sylvia is the author of numerous books and audios; is president of the Sylvia Browne Corporation; and is the founder of her church, the Society of Novus Spiritus, located in Campbell, California.

5.0 out of 5 stars God, Creation and Tools for Life, May 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: God, Creation, and Tools for Life (Journey of the Soul Series: Book 1) (Paperback)

Having read literally hundreds of books on spirituality, having been a 30-year student of metaphysics, I have come across all sorts of beliefs and attitudes about God and Creation. So, when I picked up this book...I was somewhat expecting to have another mildly interesting book. Much to my pleasure I have found this book to be absolutely refreshing in it's approach to understanding the Mother-Father-God. The first thing that comes to mind when I search for something to describe this book, is that it is tremendously positive and uplifting. It does go against the patriarchal religious views...and offers a perspective about a Loving God, and a Loving Mother God. The style of writing is straightforward, and yet I find it wise to read it slowly and carefully to digest the significance of things shared in the book by Sylvia Browne and her guide Francine. It seems timeless in it's message, and for those who doubt that 'a spirit guide' exists, let alone channels such profound information through and to Sylvia, one need simply let the information resonate within one's soul... as though re-awakening long forgotten knowledge, about love, peace, joy, the right to be happy, a loving Mother-Father-God, while challenging and exposing the hypocrisy of 'the church' and patriarchal rule. This has to be one of the best books I have read on "spiritual wisdom" in years....and I truly am grateful that I had the inner guidance to buy this book! I find myself marking passages in the book for re-reading. "God, Creation and Tools for Life" will be one of my favored treasures in my library, for years to come. I higly recommend this book!

This review is from: God, Creation, and Tools for Life (Journey of the Soul Series: Book 1) (Paperback)

I find it strange that some reviewers thought this book invoked fear. On the contrary the spiritual information given by both Sylvia and her spirit guide Francine is uplifting and left me feeling empowered and full of hope! Even if you have trouble accepting some of the ideas in her book, just the methods of dealing with people and negative energy are enough to make this work very important.Like Sylvia says take what you want from her message and leave the rest. All of what I read in this book rings true for me and has left me with the feeling we are truly not alone here and that we can call on our spirit guides and angels when we need them. Whatever you want to call the feminine and masculine aspects of God(Sylvia calls them Azna and Om), this is a concept also referred to in Conversations with God, it makes sense that God embodies both the female and male essense. If you have trouble with some of the concepts when you get started with this book, keep going, the rest is powerful information that will contribute to an amazing inner peace.

This review is from: God, Creation, and Tools for Life (Journey of the Soul Series: Book 1) (Paperback)

If you have felt that Sylvia Browne had the truth about life, this book explains in detail where her truths came from, and will strengthen your feelings that this is the truth. If you feel that she is a fraud and a heretic, this book will not change your feelings. Having believed in the same things as she does for many years, it is wonderful to hear that I'm not alone. Her guide, Francine, speaks as clearly as possible on such complex subject matter. As I read about our Creator and our universe, I was awed. It all has the ring of truth for me and I have felt closer to God and will never again feel alone in this world.
