The author says."Gather up your things - we're going on an adventure." He takes us to The Casa and John of God in Brazil. John of God is a full-trance medium healer who, three days a week, devotes his time to assisting in the healing of people from all over the world. Cash tells about his experience and the experiences of many others in his group. I went to The Casa last October with Josie RavenWing and this all rings true for me. I love his writing. It's smart, funny, intimate, and includes just the right amount of research to make sense of this place. Reading this book was a grand adventure for me. I recommend this book if you are going to The Casa and if you're not going, read it anyway. You will love the experience.
