Proud Spirit: Lessons, Insights & Healing From 'the Voice Of The Spirit World' [Paperback]

Rosemary Altea (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 22, 1998

Rosemary Altea, the internationally renowned medium and healer known to millions worldwide as "The Voice of the Spirit World," offered proof of life after death in The Eagle and the Rose.

Proud Spirit (TM) takes readers further along the path, exploring opportunities for spiritual growth in everyday life. Rosemary's storytelling skills inspire us as she recounts the time Christ laid his hands atop her own as she gave healing. Her spine-tingling tales of being visited by a group of spirit-world children and invited to a midnight picnic in a haunted house add awe, mystery, and magic to her work. Profound spiritual truths emerge: the need to know, value, and be gentle with ourselves, to be proud spirits who always quest for self-worth and that which lies within.

Amazon.com Review

In her follow-up to The Eagle and the Rose, spiritual medium Rosemary Altea takes the reader farther along the path of her personal cosmology. In Proud Spirit a more sophisticated, mature Altea emerges, answering the questions that logically arise after reading her first book. Proud Spirit begins with a chapter entitled "What happens when we die" and explains how the living affect the dead's happiness and well-being. Do we reincarnate? Only if we choose, she assures us. Do souls heal emotionally and spiritually after they die? Some may, some may not, but Altea consoles the reader in dozens of tenderly compassionate stories about the lives and deaths of real people. If you enjoyed The Eagle and the Rose, you'll love traveling around the globe with the undaunted medium in Proud Spirit, mending the broken hearts of people she meets--living and dead--and sharing the insights and processes that helped heal her own grievous wounds. --P. Randall Cohan

5.0 out of 5 stars It takes Courage, January 31, 2000

By 

Linda Goss Kozic [e-mail] (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Proud Spirit: Lessons, Insights & Healing from "The Voice of the Spirit World" (Hardcover)

I picked up Rosemary's book and couldn't put it down. I found her message easy to follow and totally uplifting. I found the repetition interesting, as it is a common form of communication from our spiritual guides. I also found it interesting that Gray Eagle did not resolve her issues in her relationship. It would have been disappointing -- spirit guides do not resolve issues for us since that is part of our journey. I think Rosemary's personal story was a part of her own healing and encouraging to those who have similar issues in their own lives. I've seen her on television and read her books and "egomania" is not a term I would ever associate with her spirit. She appears to teach through example. I found her approach to healing to be realistic. Only God determines our fate, healing is not always physical in nature, but also on a spiritual level--if you read the book carefully-- brings peace to one's spirit. It takes courage to share one's own interpretation of age old "laws" such as the Ten Commandments. I found her insight thought provoking. For those of us who have been able to reach awareness of our spiritual guides and existence of our loved ones in Afterlife, Rosemary continues to be a teacher who seeks only to encourage and uplift. This book , as in The Eagle and the Rose, continues to guide us in our own studies. Her stories ring a bell of familiarity for those of us who have experienced this awareness, and let us know our community grows stronger. It takes courage to expose your heart and soul--and learn. That's the lesson I appreciated most from this book. A must read for anyone searching their soul, seeking awareness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful encounter with Rosemary Altea, June 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Proud Spirit: Lessons, Insights & Healing From 'the Voice Of The Spirit World' (Paperback)

In this Rosemary Altea's second book she brings us even closer to the world of spirit and life after life. An inspiration for all that are in need or are in the process of healing. Some ideas in this new book maybe a bit difficult for some to get their minds around, but that's they whole idea-not to use your mind. Read this book with your heart and your soul and the anwsers and questions that you longed for start to unfold. Myself a clairvoyant since birth found this a catalyst for new beginnings, new questions and new answers. If you are wanting to learn more about what there is out there for us, waiting for us. If angels exist, what the universe and spirit is doing to assist us in this human experience, then this is a must read. Rosemary pushes the bounderies of life questions with the help of her spirit guide Grey Eagle, but these are questions that needed to be answered and anwers that needed to be read and heard by the world. Do yourself a favour, if only one-Read Proud Spirit. It will change you-Forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting reading. But keep in mind what your reading., October 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Proud Spirit: Lessons, Insights & Healing from "The Voice of the Spirit World" (Hardcover)

After seeing Rosemary Altea on a talk show. I put this book on reserve from the Library. About 3 months later I finally received a copy to read. I do agree with some of the other reviews. The book was not proofread very well. It was sometimes hard to follow. I found myself reading a sentence over and over again to follow what the author is saying. I was a bit weary about reading this book. Because of my personal Christian beleifs. I was pleased to see there was talk about God, Prayer and Heaven. I am half way through the book and besides the errors in the proofreading itself I find it a interesting topic to read about. Not sure If I believe it all myself but I have been able to pull some good out of it and apply it to my life and lives around me. I am not an avid reader but I do enjoy her writing and stories. I found myself not being able to put it down because I cant wait to see what she says next. I would recommend this book to a person who is having to deal with a loss of a loved one.
