The Priest and the Medium: The Amazing True Story of Psychic Medium B. Anne Gehman and Her Husband, Former Jesuit Priest Wayne Knoll, Ph.D. [Paperback]

Suzanne R. Giesemann (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 15, 2009

      Psychic medium B. Anne Gehman gave her first spirit readings to her teddy bears at age five. Raised in the Mennonite tradition, she left home at age 14 to finish her schooling. A life-changing near-death experience led Anne to develop her natural gifts, including an uncanny ability to predict future events. She has gained international attention for her help in solving crimes, locating oil and missing persons, healing illnesses, and connecting family members with their loved ones in spirit. She has worked with top government agencies and officials, police departments, judges, and corporate CEOs.

      While remarkable for her spiritual gifts and experiences, Anne’s life is all the more fascinating due to an unusual twist: she is married to Wayne Knoll, Ph.D., a former Jesuit priest. A brilliant student devoted to his faith, Wayne also left home at 14 to join a Roman Catholic seminary. Even while pursuing his life’s dream as a professor of literature at Georgetown University, Wayne felt an emptiness that only a woman could fill. After more than a decade of religious training, he made the wrenching decision to leave the priesthood, not knowing if he would find the love he sought. The Priest and the Medium shares the remarkable story of two soul mates on parallel paths with divergent beliefs, yet united in their love for God and each other.

Suzanne Giesemann has produced a wonderful book, very beautifully written, filled with emotion, inspiration, and joy - I gobbled it up with many different emotions coming to the surface of my being. This was one of the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time - the life journeys of two talented people that is a real page-turner!

Through the excellent story telling of Suzanne Giesemann, Anne, a Spiritualist Medium, and Wayne, a former Jesuit Priest have opened their lives, their hearts, and their beliefs to the world.

If you believe in a life beyond this earthly existence, you will find this book thrilling. If not, you may find this book will change your entire outlook on life. Suzanne Giesemann's writing talent combines with her love for people to bring us a book that is highly entertaining while holding profound messages for all humanity. Her words flow lovingly and sensitively over the pages, and I found myself lost in the intensity of her storytelling.
This is a book to buy, to read, to re-read, and to pass on to family and friends. Truly, my life has been enriched by reading "The Priest and the Medium." My thanks to this fine author!

Being a Spiritualist, I was really looking forward to this book coming out. But, it goes well beyond any religious boundaries and is a book for all faiths. The story itself is amazing and the storyteller does a fabulous job of making you feel a part of it. It is a book for everyone and I'm sure it will be a best seller!
