Much like James Redfield's Celestine Prophecy, Twyman's book of cosmic ramblings was picked up by a major publisher after initial success with a small house.

Review

"Shows us that we all have the power to create peace and change in the world. . . . We are all 'Emissaries of Light.'"  —Marianne Williamson, author,  Return to Love

"James Twyman's words are a gift to all who seek a higher way. Your soul has placed your hand upon this book. Now let its message into your heart and mind."  —Neale Donald Walsch, author, Conversations with God

"A remarkable story . . . profound in its simplicity. And it just may change your life."  —The New England Shaman

"Fortunately for all of us, another voice with a clear message that something wonderful is coming is certainly evident in James F. Twyman's Emissary of Light. It is a fast and fascinating read, I recommend it highly. Pay very close attention, for you will find yourself in this work."  —Albert Clayton Gaulden, author, Clearing for the Millennium

"It is often said that truth is stranger than fiction. Emissary of Light is mind-boggling because it recounts the true story of James Twyman's real-life adventure. I highly recommend it because it contains palatable 'Seedthoughts of Enlightenment,' a veritable banquet of easy-to-read and -digest information that we all need."  —Barbara Hoberman Levine, author, Your Body Believes Every Word You Say

4.0 out of 5 stars This One Hits Home, June 8, 2003

By	TheHighlander (Richfield, PA United States) - See all my reviews

Emissary of Light offers a perspective on inner peace and tranquility. It is not a unique view for many who believe that God and peace are within each and every person just looking for a way out. But it is yet another way to explain it. The story of how James came upon this realization or I should say how it was shown to him. It starts slow but really takes off after the stage is set.

Inexplicably drawn to a conflicted part of the world he met those who try to preserve peace in the world. Not in the way you would normally think but in a spiritual way. By exuding the light of peace through mediation. The lessons on peace, love and life have been heard before but the book drew me in and would not release me for some reason. It was as if I was being told an old lesson in a new way. Is humanity ready for the next step in the evolution of their spirituality? The message of the book is that we are, although I tend to personally doubt that.

It speaks to the fact that all religions are man made and speak to the person in a way that they can understand. That it matters not which one you believe in but the fact that you believe in "The Divine Light". That people only see what they allow themselves to see and if it is Jesus or Buddha or Muhammad it makes no difference because it is the "Divine Light" behind the teaches of compassion and love that is what it is all about. I know this will not sit well with many people and this alone will turn them away from the book. But I believe there is a lot to be considered here.

I believe this book is a very good book that should be read by those interested in spirituality. And even if you don't agree with what is being said the story of the individual and his travels are interesting in themselves. As he explains what he felt and what he thought. It adds a personal dimension to the book that is interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are you ready to have your reality shift forever?, October 17, 1997

By	Marietta Rhyne (USA) - See all my reviews

If you are ready (and the Emissaries have instructed Jimmy to travel the world teaching to all that we ARE...) you will realize deeply that you are not who you thought you were. Indeed, the world is not what you thought it was.

This is not just about a series of events that happened to someone - and I have met Jimmy and I assure you they did. This book, rather, is about an unprecedented Awakening of consciousness presently occurring on our planet (more accurately, in our minds.) Emissary of Light is a gripping adventure on its own, telling a tale of mysterious coincidences, perilous war zone action and miraculous escapades within the heart of the Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian crisis. But it is the movement within your heart, taking place between the lines, that reveals the greater purpose of the story.

I invite you to read this "book", and then take some time to let it sink in all the way to your DNA. Then, allow your light to shine like it never has before. Try it. You are READY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great lessons for dealing with terror, March 10, 2000

By	Grace Buchanan (Syracuse, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even if this story is only as true as James Redfield's novels, I cherish it. I cherish the inspiring meditations Teacher led Jim through. I cherish the reassurance that perception precedes reality: terror was described in mild and relative terms: terror is a personal perception, not a reality one must accept. I cherish the retreat I experienced when I read this book.
