Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Bestselling author Edward (After Life) begins with a letter to the reader: I turned forty last year, and it is my twenty-fifth anniversary of being a psychic medium. Now Edward urges readers to upgrade their own psychic powers: Think of this entire book as an experience designed to be an earthly guide to a spiritually energetic Divine process. Guidelines and instructions include how to create a metaphysical workplace in your mind as an inner sanctuary for spiritual practices. One can tap into energy currents and visualize alternative outcomes: potential realities for you that will cross and intersect with others in your life. Edward' s exercises for learning how to tune in to these potentialities draw on simple analogies, such as the Weather Patterns Exercise: notice when your sunny mood changes to partly sunny or cloudy, and track what environments and people cause these changes. With an understanding of psychic self-defense, Edward says, one can prepare for a psychic vampire attack by someone needy who sucks the psychic energy out of you. Edward' s many followers and others seeking spiritual harmony will be eager to experiment with the exercises outlined here.

John Edward has brought a fresh, honest and thought provoking attitude to the world of psychic phenomena. As a psychic medium, author and lecturer, he has, over the last twenty years, helped thousands with his uncanny ability to predict future events and communicate with those who have crossed over to the Other Side.

Since then, his clientele has ranged from young to old, student to professor, people of the clergy, law enforcement agencies and people from everyday life. His clients wait over two years to sit with him for private sessions, and although John is anxious to share his ability with those that need him, he is unwilling to compromise the quality of his work for the quantity that seek him out. He has captivated audiences worldwide.

On his internationally syndicated talk shows, Crossing Over with John Edward and John Edward Cross Country, he uses his unique abilities to connect people with loved ones who have passed on. Deeply compelling, often startling and occasionally humorous, John's down-to-earth approach has earned him a vast and loyal following.

Today, John is one of the country's foremost psychic mediums and author of the critically acclaimed New York Times best sellers One Last Time; What if God Were the Sun; Crossing Over: The Stories Behind the Stories, After Life: Answers from the Other Side, Final Beginnings, Practical Praying: Using the Rosary to Enhance Your Life and most recently Infinite Quest. John's domestic and international book sales are over 2.4 million to date.

John's broad appeal has led to numerous international tours of Australia and the UK and guest appearances on everything from CNN's Larry King Live to The Today Show as well as Oprah! He is a regularly featured guest on top rated morning radio shows, including New York's WPLJ and Los Angeles' KROQ. His many television appearances include Entertainment Tonight; Live with Regis & Kelly, The Early Show, The Crier Report, The Tony Danza Show, The View, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, Fox and Friends, Maury, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Wayne Brady Show, Dateline, ABC'S 20/20 and the critically acclaimed HBO Special, Life After Life.

John has been featured in articles in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Newsday, People, Entertainment Weekly and in the Associated Press, and was named as one of People Magazine's Most Intriguing People of the Year.

Born and raised on Long Island, NY, John exhibited psychic abilities from an extremely early age, and was deemed "special" by many in his family. The fact that he would uncannily know family history and events that took place prior to his birth solidified that fact. Because no fuss was made over these early experiences, he maintained as normal a childhood as possible. Since Psychic Phenomena was so accepted by his family, it was easy for his abilities to flourish. John embarked on developing his own abilities after an encounter with famed psychic Lydia Clar. Lydia made him aware of his abilities and told him his life's work would be teaching people about it. That mission has been channeled into his work as a medium which enables him to bring comfort and hope to people by reuniting them with those who they loved, lost...and crossed over.

John resides on Long Island, New York, with his wife Sandra their children Justin and Olivia and their two Bichon Frises, Jolie and Roxie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has allowed me to see myself as never before... November 23, 2010

By Cindy Brock VINE™ VOICE

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

While I wouldn't say I was a "die hard" follower of John Edward, I do know who he is. The reason this book came to me (and he talks about this scenario a few times) was/is to help me better understand how my mind has always worked and to better use what is conveyed to me intuitively.

I found that - while there are a lot of CDs to listen to in this collection - this wasn't a problem. It's a lot of information and, for me, spreading it out over a period of a few weeks made it easier to take in the information.

Up until Chapter 6, I was glued to the edge of my seat. The lessons were helpful, the stories were insightful, and the overall presentation was very well thought out. However, I was somewhat lost in Chapter 6. I'm not sure if it was because it was a bit too scientific...or it was an "orange in a orchard of apples." Don't get me wrong: this chapter wasn't bad: just different. In Chapter 7, things picked right back up where they left off.

As John mentions many times throughout the book, if you're reading this to become a psychic who does readings, don't get this. This isn't about what you do for others, it's about discovering who you are and the abilities you have (and these are abilities, not gifts, as John points out).

There are a lot of truths you have to face as well - e.g., that you are not "special" in the abilities you have. They simply are what they are and should be used as a means to help yourself to better yourself and then to better understand others.

If you're not a book on tape type of person, then buy the actual book. However, if you like to listen and drive, this is a great "read"! While I don't think I would listen to it before bed, simply because the content is so rich, you might find it something that appeals to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metaphysics 101...a course in opening your mind to the possibilities November 18, 2010

By T. Fraser VINE™ VOICE

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

I both read and listen to a lot of books and find that each modality (in print or as spoken word) has its strengths and weaknesses. There are many books that I find fascinating as an audiobook that I might never get through if I had to read them (especially technical non-fiction) and others that do better in written form (some non-fiction benefits from being able to flip through the book and go back to previous sections or has numerous lists and graphs that don't translate to audio), but then there are those rare books that I decide I simply have to have in both audio and print editions. "Infinite Quest" is one of those books.

Another measure of success I find in reading/listening to books is if they lead me to research the ideas presented and have me ordering other books to supplement the learning. Again, this book is one of those books. I found myself frequently stopping the audio to run to my computer and look up topics and book titles. This was as much "an experience" as a book...it was a wonderful "course", and my coursework will continue long after the book is finished.

The purpose of this book is NOT to train you to become a professional psychic, as Edward mentions on many occasions in the book, rather it is to expand your abilities for your own sake and expand your horizons he does in this book.

As Edward puts it: "Life is the university and your evolution is the degree, with an ultimate graduation back to the other side where the learning still continues. What's the job? Be the best YOU, soul, energy that you can be whether on this side or the other and evolve in your ability to get as close to that unconditional love, God, or that divine source as possible."

And that pretty much sums it up...this one is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars INFINITE QUEST November 16, 2010

By Tyr Shadowblade (TM) VINE™ VOICE

Format:Audible Audio Edition

Recently finished listening to "Infinite Quest" by John Edward. First off, let me state that I hate audio books. I find them distracting while driving or performing other tasks. I don't even like listening to music while I'm driving in Denver traffic. Regardless, even though this could be deemed almost an introductory level of instruction it held my attention and I listened to 2 discs daily until it was done. Then I listened to it again. I found the presentation enjoyable and compelling. John did a very good job with this unabridged reading.

A lot of folks, my girlfriend amongst them, are of the opinion that John is a huckster who scams folks by doing "cold readings." I have never met or spoken with John, but I've seen his show many times. I know how scams work. I am familiar with dozens of psychics who have run a variety of scams. Some folks are of the opinion that my own psychic skills are fairly well developed when it comes to "reading" people. John is no fake. He is the real thing. His instruction is solid and I endorse his teachings as valid and positive for anyone who wishes to develop their skills further. Even though he repeatedly endorses his website -- a big red flag -- I checked out that site and it is worthwhile and not some moneymaking scheme. John is a decent and trustworthy individual -- a rarity in the world of professional psychics.

Now that I've told you how great I think his work is, it is time for the ounce of criticism. As we disagree on a number of issues I am going to keep this extremely brief and only touch on three points I feel are of great importance.

First, John makes a statement to the effect that we cause whatever happens to us through our thoughts and actions as well as conscious decisions made by our soul before this incarnation, specifically where and to whom we would be born. This is a valid statement, to a point. I do not believe that everyone has the ability to specify the circumstances of their birth. There are tens of thousands in this country alone who are born into monstrous conditions of continual pain, abuse, hunger and squalor. While some ascetics and martyrs may well choose such an incarnation, most folks would not. While John never took this concept to obscene extremes, another well known guru (who I will NOT name here) has actually said that rape victims "chose" to have that experience. It is a slippery slope and I feel there is a lot of grey area here. What applies to a more evolved soul likely does not apply to one whom the Universe feels is ill equipped to decide their own fate. As John would say, "Point made."

Second, while John speaks of psychic self defense and warms against dark energies and using tools like talking boards, he leaves the impression that all you are dealing with is human spirits. Absolutely no mention of non-human entities was made. Perhaps that topic was considered too disturbing and advanced? I would very much like to read a more advanced text by this author specifically on the topic of psychic self defense. He barely scratched the surface here.

The other criticism I have is that John mentions the use of runes as something novices can experiment with for divination purposes. Yes, I know that every New Age store sells rune sets and many folks have dabbled with them without incident. Rune stones are fairly safe to use, this is true. BUT, dare you to carve runescripts or bindrunes you can inadvertently do significant damage to yourself as well as others. Runes are powerful and potentially dangerous. Not something I would recommend for novices to delve into. But, as I stated previously, as long as you don't progress past doing readings with pre-carved stones it is relatively safe.

All that being said, this is easily THE BEST introductory guide to psychic development I have ever seen -- and I've seen dozens. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
