Hey - has anyone noticed there is a whole piece on exorcism in here? Its in the same chapter as the heirachy of angels, spirits, and what ghosts and energy tracings are. What a hoot. Ok, I did the "self-Deliverance" thing/prayer and actually coughed up something. True to God, I felt better afterward, and I haven't had the nightmares since. No matter what you believe, pick up the book just for that and get rid of the hair-ball, or demon, or whatever. God, the PAIN in my back WENT AWAY too. Two years from a car wreck, acupunture every week, didn't help much. What can I say?

Bridging the gap between "New Age" Christianity and traditional Christianity Tiffany Snow examines what she considers to be gifts of the Holy Spirit. These are supernatural gifts the Spirit makes available to us if we choose to accept and use them. From the basics that most Christians believe, such as healing, to more radical concepts like channeling the Holy Spirit, the book is thought provoking and interesting reading. Some will find "Psychic Gifts in the Christian Life" revealing and life changing, others will find it blasphemous, most will find it somewhere in between and an interesting read.

I just finished reading a remarkable page-turner, a non-fiction book entitled PSYCHIC GIFTS IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE: TOOLS TO CONNECT. The book was written by Tiffany Snow, D.D. and really kept me glued to the page. This is more than just a spiritual book, it is a hands-on manual of sorts that teaches the reader how to connect with their Higher Power and activate their own unique spiritual gifts in their daily lives.

Tiffany Snow should know all about activating her special gifts. This very special woman got her life calling in a most unique way - she was struck by lightning and had a near death experience that left her without a doubt as to what God wanted her to do with the rest of her life. She discovered a gift for healing, and her public ministry began.

Using many of her own personal experiences and insights into the spiritual workings within each of us, Tiffany writes in a friendly and intimate style that draws the reader in and holds you there as she presents an incredible amount of tools, techniques and examples of how to connect with the Life Force within, and use it to benefit the self and others. Her own life is layed out within the chapters, and is a fascinating backdrop against which she sets her growing wisdom and knowledge as her healing training progresses. From rural Tennessee to a Mexico beach with monster waves, to sunny Southern California to the Hawaiian shores, she takes us on a journey through her own spiritual coming of age.

Some of the topics Tiffany covers in this oversize trade paperback are learning to accept the gifts we've been given, tools to expand our divine connection, how to use the power of prayer, energy tracings and how to sharpen our healing abilities and skills, looking for and finding our God-spots and the responsibilities that come with the realization that we have been blessed with talents to share with the world. She focuses on many Christian and Biblical teachings, but applies them in a way they can benefit followers of any spiritual path.

Also included are intriguing chapters detailing Tiffany' work with the FBI in regards to the September 11 terrorist attacks and a child abduction case that enthralled the nation in its grip. Her skills and talents go far beyond just physical healings, as this book points out.

Tiffany is a skilled communicator, and her book will motivate and inspire the reader, as well as educate and enlighten. At 240 pages, this book has a great deal to offer, and justifies the price tag, which might otherwise be too high for a trade paperback. But PSYCHIC GIFTS IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE is worth it. I especially enjoyed the personal stories of Tiffany's own struggle to claim her life, her spirit and her calling. These stories make this book so much more than just a dry spiritual "how to" book. They in fact resonate on such a personal level; you will truly feel you have made a new friend in Tiffany just by reading her book and sharing her wisdom.

Reading this book can lead you toward the life you want. This book speaks to the heart, and intelligence. It is well written in a way that is easy to understand and to follow. The message from the book is easy to understand and apply as well.

My Personal Challenge has long been to push past my own doubts and live my true potential. I have stumbled over many concepts, in my need to blend my fundamental background with the new truths that resonant within me. Tiffany Snow's book has spoken to my heart. And as she shares her spiritual journey with candor, humor, and simple truth, the reader feels like a silent friend learning beside her. She has validated many things for me, and has also persuaded a shift of consciousness at how I look at other things. Her NDE of heaven is pure and Un-Hyped. I find her descriptions of ghosts, spirits, energy tracings, and what the true nature of angels are, as Comforting; the ways she has been able to use the gifts for healing, finding things, helping others; Amazing. The many methods and games for self-discovery of the power within, and how to tap into God gifts; Empowering. I have enjoyed reading it, and I've tried Tiffany's recommendations and achieved great results in my life. She teaches you how to manifest. In her courage to reveal her paranormal experiences, she has encouraged us all to do the same. Thanks Tiffany for sharing with all of us.

This is a book that may actually be written before its time. Ms. Snow speaks from personal experience - but also draws from numerous other sources in her successful attempt to bridge religion and spirituality - all in a context of Love of God, Self, and Others. No matter what your religion, the information presented here is sure to open your eyes a bit wider, with an acknowledgement of "I get it!" on several points. The word "Psychic" may not be appropriate in the title - perhaps "Divine" or "Supernatural," for the fundamentally squeamish; rest assured there are ample well-cited Biblical texts for the Christians, without any reader feeling uncomfortable. Especially interesting - training the Five Senses to sense God via unusual games and exercises; learning to distinguish our inner voice from outside "Others." Also many thought-provoking concepts, such as "What Religion is God?" If I was to title this book, it would be "Commonsense Christianity."

If I could give this book 10 stars, I would. I have never - and I am a book store owner - read a book that truly is fully Christian and fully Psychic at the same time. The topics are varied and exciting, simply written yet detailed, and humorous without being stupid. Many are documented, and all are amazing. There are numerous scriptures on every page for those who want to see a Biblical precedent for supernatural things, and the book is packed full of incentives, inspiration and useful examples for ourselves connecting in Spirit with the Divine. Buy one for your neighbor, family and friends and actually have an interesting conversation with them the next time you visit.

Dr. Snow has a unique look on the supernatural world from a "birds-eye" view of her own personal near-death experience. From this, she came out from a strict religious background to a place of openness and spirituality, and brings the reader along with her like a best friend. Well-written, humorous at times, and light hearted, this author shows how the average person can develop the abilities for healing, finding missing children, etc. There are numerous personal accounts of her doing these things, and doing them well. Since she came into this "new life" from no previous background involved with the metaphysical, there is very little here that duplicates any other book. I give it a thumbs up.

There are many books on self-help, spirituality, and psychology for the general public out there but this one is probably the best I have ever read by far (and believe me, I have read many). This book explains almost everything I wanted to know in a simple, interesting and inspiring way! It provides answers about spiritual development, the powers of our mind, as well as those power beyond ourselves. It discusses spirituality but is not religious in any way. I couldn't believe how everything made so much sense when I was reading this book! It is quite simple but I never really got it before, and from what I have heard from other people and read in other books, not many people do get it. When I was reading this, it was as if everything clicked! It enables us to see how it all comes together if we understand some basic underlying rules about God. After reading this book people, my life, and the world make so much more sense now. Every moment in life feels like listening to beautiful music! I recommend this book to each and every single person out there interested finding a better way to understand themselves, the world, and their life.

This is a wake up call, for those who are still sleeping. This is a good book that can help stir you up to walk with God and expecting signs and miracles. Helping you move from your comfort zone and into the deeper things of God.

One day in 1995 I died, and had a NDE. Ever since then, I've been reading everything I can on the subject. According to most stories I've read, I had an unusual one, not going down a tunnel, but experiencing many interesting phenomena all the same. It seems to me that there are some NDE books and magazine articles that are just hype, and published just to give recognition. I have found, through my many years and multitudes of books on the subject, that there is an underlining truth and spirit that pervades the true experiences. So, I have compiled a list of my best reads for NDE books - ones that I consider genuine and adding validating light to the personal NDE experience. I have left out compilations, these are personal narratives. I hope you enjoy them too.
