"'A glass of spiritual champagne' - Churches Fellowship News"

From the Publisher

Charles William Daniel (1871-1955) was a maverick free-thinker whose tiny publishing house had august links with many of the most influential thinkers and movements of the 20th century. To wit, copies of Daniel's books could be found in the library at Ghandi's ashram. This spirit lived on after his death, and the company maintained its niche by publishing definitive texts on a variety of spiritual and esoteric subjects. Many of these titles, notably those on Aromatherapy and Bach Flower remedies, have become standard works on the subject. When the C.W. Daniel list went looking for a new home, the Vermilion and Rider imprints were the natural place for this wonderful collection of authors.

This review is from: Testimony of Light (Paperback)

It is so rare to discover a book that awakens profound truths within one's own heart. Testimony of Light is a powerful candid view of life after death as experienced by Sister Frances Mary and sent to Helen Greaves through mental telepathy. The communion between these two women (who were close friends before Francis Banks died) and who are now on different sides of the veil was achieved without effort as a natural outpouring of their mental telepathic skills.

Even though Sister Francis was a Catholic nun, her experiences after death move far beyond the pictures of any religion and embrace the universal. With deep compassion and clear descriptions of her continued expansion, Francis Banks shares story after story as she works in the half-way house to assist many newly arrived souls to make the adjustment to life without a physical body.

As I read it I felt that I was in touch with a rare soul who had vision, deep understanding of a spiritual life, and an adv! enturous spirit. Francis Bank's humility revealed her depth of knowledge as she faced new experiences on the astral plane in the attempt to learn and to aid others.

Many people come to me after the death of a loved one and I always recommend this book--regardless of their religious or non-religious beliefs. I have given away at least 20 copies to my friends in grief. Without exception all have called to say that reading this book was the single most inspiring and healing knowledge that has come to them. They point out that it has changed their whole view of life and death and awakened them to the wonderful possibilities that are right in front of all of us right now.

Do not wait for a period of grief to read this book. It will create a flowering of your soul and mind at any time, and will inspire you to love and to forgive past all measure. If you have the least anxiety about death or a fear that the material life may be all there is, Testimony of Light can lift ! you to a far greater vision and stimulate in your heart an ! energizing response that expands and enriches your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purpose of Existence--Get and Give More Spirtual Light, December 27, 1999

By 

Charles J. Naegele (San Jose, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Testimony of Light (Paperback)

A wonderful and spiritually uplifting book that powerfully conveys as truth--that life-after-death time is spent teaching others to receive more Light (Spiritual Light) and being taught by even Higher Light Beings to receive more Light. The book is a telepathic after-death transmission from an ex-Anglican nun who lived in South Africa to her living friend. Highlights: Heaven is not a Welfare State. The reward for a job well done is... more work. A garden of Light refreshes one, when needed. A web of light protection is needed when teaching certain people with lots of negativity. Additional protection in the form of a Higher Being of Light is needed when visiting super-negative people. The type of work that one does on earth is often continued beyond death. Reincarnation is a possibility for some. We are all part of and responsible for a group of people and their spiritual progress. After death, one is handed two blueprints: what your life could have been and what your life was. Some people go into shock for 20 years after seeing the difference in the two blueprints. Reading this book has changed my life by giving me clearer thoughts and language to express spiritual thoughts to others. This book reminded me of the C.S. Lewis book, The Great Divorce, another great description of Heaven and the Hell that people make for themselves. I wish you lots of Spiritual Light when reading and sharing this book.

This review is from: Testimony of Light (Paperback)

This is the most plausible, most interesting, and most inspiring afterlife account I've ever read, and I've read a bunch of them. A fine intelligence is at the helm throughout. One of the book's special assets is the many descriptions of people she meets over there, some of whom live in the "shadows"--or what we might call hell. Hope is held out for everyone, but cheap grace is not to be found: your experience over there is calibrated to your moral and spiritual maturity in this world. The book is a riveting appeal to live life wisely before death. You will want to after reading this very remarkable book.
Is it really what it claims to be--an account from someone living Over There? In my view it's too full of surprises to be fiction. It has none of the predictability of Sylvia Browne's easy reads. Even if it is fiction, it's fiction so full of insight that it's well worth reading in its own right.
I'm a college professor, by the way, and it is the crown jewel of my death course. Religious fundamentalists and diehard atheists often detest the book. Most people in between love it. That in itself is a great advertisement.
