Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Readers inclined to practice the willing suspension of disbelief may appreciate this book, with its promises of direct contact with God, growing self-acceptance, increased energy and guidance from an inner guru. They will need to be comfortable with concepts such as astral entities and vibrational liftings, ready to believe the copious testimonials that a life-changing spiritual breakthrough is now possible "within just a few minutes," especially if they sign up for one of the author's frequently touted "Divine Revelation" courses. And they will need to be disposed to accept this wisdom from an author with a vaguely described background of spiritual apprenticeship and a degree in from the the Institute of Teaching of Intuitional Metaphysics. Shumsky promises readers that personal revelation will come with complete independence from all organizations or individuals who might want to control them and is available in the name of Hinduism, Christianity, atheism or whatever spiritual tradition excites them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Publishers Weekly Missed Something, May 12, 2003

By 

allison winters (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Divine Revelation (Paperback)

I just read the above review of DIVINE REVELATION by Publishers Weekly, and I must say that whoever wrote this review is very prejudiced and close-minded. The scathing comments about the author are completely inaccurate. Obviously the reviewer did not even bother to read the author's biography in the back of the book.

I read DIVINE REVELATION a few years ago, and I still use this simple, practical way to communicate with God directly. This book completely transformed my life. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to lead a more spiritual life and have direct contact and experiences of God.

One of the most important features of this book are the nine tests that helped me to tell the difference between the true voice of God and other voices in my mind. I have found the author's nine-test program is unparalleled among metaphysical authors.

The affirmations and prayers for spiritual healing are extremely useful for getting back to center whenever I feel "off." I use these every day, and they have been a life saver for me.

I made a guided meditation tape using the instructions in the book, and I found it really helped me get the experience much more deeply.

I rate this as one of the top five spiritual self-help books that I have ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Hear and Trust the Still Small Voice Within, June 7, 2001

This review is from: Divine Revelation (Paperback)

Do you remember the most recent time you needed help making an important decision, and wished you could have gotten some really good advice? Perhaps you tried hearing the "little voice" of intuition, but weren't sure whether you were hearing the best advice for you to follow... or perhaps you couldn't hear anything at all.

Not to worry! Susan Shumsky's wonderful book, DIVINE REVELATION, describes how to find deeply meaningful answers to all your questions -- as well as how you can follow nine steps of discernment to ensure that the voice of intuition you hear is a true message from Spirit. She lists eleven safeguards to ensure you receive divine messages, as well as signals for healing and "yes" and "no" responses, and fourteen steps for receiving clear answers. Shumsky also describes how to word your questions for Spirit, so you will gain maximal benefit from the answers you receive.

The basic premise of Shumsky's book is that we can receive information and inspiration simply by asking for it, so she provides mediations and prayers to help get us started. Shumsky recommends that healing prayers be utilized often, since they are essential for clearing out negative habits, thoughts, feelings, and psychic ties to others before we attempt to clearly receive spiritual messages.

Whether you have never before received messages from Spirit or are quite adept at it, DIVINE REVELATION is jam-packed with wonderful ideas to help you receive information more clearly than ever before. There is a tremendous emphasis on self-knowledge in this book, so those who are willing and eager to look more deeply at themselves will likely enjoy it the most.

5.0 out of 5 stars First book of it's kind..., June 6, 2000

By 

Paul Greblick - See all my reviews

This review is from: Divine Revelation (Paperback)

For the first time in my 15 years of reading metaphysical books, one has come along and describes the dangers of getting involved with expanding and opening your mind if you don't know what you're doing AND shows you how to deal with them, protect yourself, and PROPERLY receive higher, spiritual guidance. I had some very negative experiences with "astral entities" as they're called in the book, almost prompting me to abandon my spirituality altogether. But, after reading the chapters on protection, healing, and becoming "spiritually street-smart", I am now confident that I can contact the divine at will and know it will be safe, loving, and comforting. Thank you, Susan Shumsky, for finally bringing to light a safe and workable method for connecting to God on a regular basis for the benefit of your own life and all life.
