Product Description
Internationally acclaimed psychic medium John Edward takes his talents to new levels and new countries in his fourth book, AFTER LIFE: Answers from the Other Side.

Join John and a documentary crew "Down Under" in Australia and across the United States, where he demonstrates once again that grief, healing, and hope are eternally intertwined and universal. John answers your most often-asked questions about how the mediumship process works on the "other side," while taking you on the inside of his own personal life as a husband and new father. He shares what he’s learned through his own recent, personal losses and demonstrates that you’re never too late to forgive—and never too far away to love.

In After Life, as he does on his highly rated hit show, Crossing Over with John Edward, John will also connect you with celebrities both here and on the other side—because, as John happily notes, there are no red-velvet ropes or VIP sections over there!

3.0 out of 5 stars More of the same, September 30, 2003

By A Customer

Well, I've read all of John's books, and this one was the least interesting, primarily because it contains almost nothing new. John indicates in his introduction that he considers this book to be "One Last Time, Part II," and indeed it reads more like a continuation of "One Last Time" than it does anything else. I've watched the show "Crossing Over" many times, and still have questions about "the other side" that I thought John was going to attempt to answer in this book, since it is subtitled "Answers from the Other Side." I didn't feel like any answers were provided, but rather the information contained in John's other books was just reiterated through more readings and seminars. The truly redeeming part of this book is the last chapter, "Papa, can you hear me?" John's father died while he was writing this book, so John was finally able to discuss (which he had never done previously) his estranged relationship with his father and how even a medium has to deal with (or choose not to deal with) family conflict and disappointment. This chapter can be helpful and enlightening to those people who don't resolve complex issues with "loved ones" before they cross over, and really enhanced my picture of who John is personally. The book is a good read, but I don't feel it stands out in the same way that "Crossing Over" and "One Last Time" did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Putting faith in After Life, October 12, 2003

By	Loveandlight20 (North Miami Beach, FL) - See all my reviews

I have read each and every review on this book and took everyone's words into consideration. I just finished the book myself and have to say I truly enjoyed it. Some of the reviews on this site attack Mr. Edward as a medium and as a person and it is clear that those reviews are by people who have not picked up the book (although they claim to have read the book in one sitting). This book took me through the process and helped me have a little more faith in people, life and the after life. After Life has something for everyone from the reading with Aaliyah's mother (which is an amazing chapter in my opinion as I was and still am a huge Aaliyah fan) to personal stories of Mr. Edward's family. I have been to seminars, watched the show, seen t.v. specials, gone to his offical website and read articles about Mr. Edward and his work but nothing brings you closer to his gift then this book! Everyone has an opinion and the right to voice it but my advise to those who sit here and bash Mr. Edward and his line of work...DON'T HOLD SUCH STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT THINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! Everyone in this world should be able to put thier faith into something or someone and after reading AFTER LIFE I know where my faith is placed. Love Mr. Edward or hate him, After Life is a wonderful book and can help anyone through the healing process...all you need is a little faith and an open mind.

3.0 out of 5 stars Left me scratching my head????, March 1, 2004

By A Customer

This is my second attempt at reading a John Edward book, and honestly it left me scratching my head. I will give him three stars for attempting writing, but the book rambled at times, and had no solid foundation.

I have recently had the pleasure of reading a book called, "The Book of Thomas," by Gabreael and Daniel Aber that answered a lot of the questions that this book danced around, and then some.

In this book the primary guide revealed himself to be Thomas Bateman, a pioneer in the field of modern archeology. According to Aber, "For the first time ever, a spirit guide not only gives his full name, but provides verifiable information about his last incarnation." Bateman refers to himself as "The Great Communicator" and he proves the name to be true.

Some of the topics this book touched were DNA, suicide, murder, abortion, birth and death of the soul, Heaven and Hell as well as many other controversial subjects. Each revelation is presented in a clear and understandable format -- no clouding of the messages one comes to expect from channeled information. It did not leave me scratching my head.
