5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiration to the World, March 19, 2003

This review is from: Strong Woman: Unshrouding the Secrets of the Soul (Paperback)

Is it possible to prove to people the existence of a miracle? Is it possible to open the minds of those who look to science alone for physical proof of their very being? How do you convince a person that the belief that Spring will eventually melt the snow is more important than the water dripping in evidence? I don't know that humanity is ready for the scientific proof it asks for in regards to certain miracles, but M. Sue Benford is giving it a try. STRONG WOMAN: Unshrouding the Secrets of the Soul first shares some insights the author has within herself. The reader is welcome to a look at this woman's soul, and is convinced of her truthfulness by her sharing of self. We are drawn in to her world and compelled to find out where the book leads. Ms. Benford has revelations and she shares them with the world.

Her interest in the Shroud of Turin is guided but takes on a life of its own. Establishing the truth of it becomes her mission and she has not taken it lightly. I have never before seen such a compilation of scientific data, which seeks to prove the existence of the power of the soul. If mankind were handed the type of proof it has come to rely on, would that finally open the minds of people to the existence of spirit? Would that instill a new age of awareness? Will people once again follow their hearts and inner knowledge and not be so hung up on scientific jargon? Time will tell.

In the pages of this text you will read of amazing scientific findings. How could this knowledge have been overlooked for so long? Perhaps the time was just not right, until now. Here is proof of the true dating of the Shroud of Turin, but also, and more importantly, here is proof that the soul continues on after the death of the body. The technical jargon is all here, in easy to understand language. You will need to contribute with an open mind, but I suspect that even those who don't, will have their minds pried open by this title. Let us hope so anyway.

STRONG WOMAN: Unshrouding the Secrets of the Soul: a chance to see the emerging wisdom of a woman, her embrace of possibility and her answer to a call, all in a message of inspiration to the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank God for M. Sue Benford, January 14, 2004

This review is from: Strong Woman: Unshrouding the Secrets of the Soul (Paperback)

I love this book! There are so many good things that I can say about this book but I only get 1,000 words. I was lead to this book and drawn to it's title then drawn to the author. Since I started reading this book, I have opened up different doors to my soul. A great understanding has come to my heart about Jesus and what he wants from all of us. My questions have been answered and my past spiritual experiences have been confirmed. This book speaks of things that..to the physical..would be unbelievable but to the spirit it is knowledge. I cried many times reading this book because I knew it was real. This book has passionate knowledge of the "truth" and it clears up all misunderstandings that have been put in our heads by man in "the name of God". A long time ago, everyone got a piece of the truth...then ran in different directions and made up the rest. How we got stuck in "the rest?" I don't know but M. Sue Benford clears that up in her book. She has taught me to speak eloquently about Jesus and be able to defend him in a loving way. I have communicatedwith the author and she is a dear.Her full soul is so strong that it reaches out to you. Every bit of this book is phenomenal and it has enhanced my spiritual growth and understanding of our Lord. My face and my body is full of light when I read this book. Everything she speaks of has happened to me or happens after I read it. I started to meditate and become closer to Jesus and my angels. I've seen Jesus in dreams and visions all my life. M. Sue Benford made me feel like I'm not alone with these experiences. Read this book with an open heart and open mind. I have a better understanding of my "self" while experiencing this book. I recommend that the world reads this book.I got chills when I read the part about Martin Luther King Jr. Buy it and read it and you'll know what I mean. If you want to know our God and our Lord....then let M. Sue Benford introduce you to him. You'll realize he's always been there waiting for you to speak to him. Unconditional love...what an answer! Thank you M. Sue Benford for your book. There's nothing in this book that you can argue against and that's how you know it's the truth! Happy spiritual journey!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring - I could not put this book down, January 9, 2003

By 

PBW "HD Enthusiast" (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Strong Woman: Unshrouding the Secrets of the Soul (Paperback)

This book renewed my belief in God and confirmed what I believed to be true about "the other side". The possibilities open up a whole new thought for me. I am not a scientist but I am a Christian and found this book to be worth reading. The author not only made it interesting with her personal life story, but her scientific work is fascinating. It is not for the closed minded. If you believe in God you must believe that there is SO much we do not understand and know. Keep an open mind, buy the book and it will truly inspire you to think in a new direction. I was not dissapointed.
