I read this book some time ago, and I'm still asking myself how such a seemingly small, simple book can have such a deep and enduring impact on me. Perhaps it's the beauty and power of the messages, set in wonderful poetry, from those who have crossed over before us--those who "know". In this book, Carolyn Stearns and her "associates" lay before us an opportunity to live a life of greater freedom and joy, and to die a death with fewer fears and regrets. I keep several copies on hand, for this book is the best gift I can give to those who are struggling with the issues of life and death. Don't let this precious little book pass you by!

A compassionate guide to bereavement. Stories & poems relating to recently deceased loved ones, whether people or pets, joyfully teaching us how to overcome our fears about death & dying.

Carolyn Stearns' Spirit-Walking is a tender, exciting & healing little volume. Utterly unpretentious, utterly refreshing & utterly authentic. Poems from the Other Side of the Veil, in plain song, clear & bright, full of joy, excitement & eagerness.

I shall always remember Spirit-Walking; I shall always look now at life with a sense of future, a sense of the death of this bag of bones as simply being the sloughing off of a layer of skin as the Spirit lives on to laugh & dance again. Do check out my eInterview with this author!

Carolyn Stearns, in graceful poetic form, shares messages that have come to her all-unbidden from people -- and two dogs -- recently dead. These are voices of hope and encouragement for those for whom death seems a monstrous spectre or a dark void. It is neither, the voices say -- it is a transition to liberation. One need not accept everything that Carolyn has recorded to appreciate the gifts her interlocutors offer.

I was excited to read the review of this book, but was overall disappointed with it. First - it was so small that I read it within 30 minutes. The quality of the paper was like sandpaper. The little stories/poems were a little interesting, but fell way short of actually being a "book". I feel it had potential, but could not recommend its purchase.
