Editorial Review:

Recent surveys reveal that more than eighteen million people in North America have survived a near-death experience. That’s an incredibly large number of people who have lived through a life-changing event. Remarkably, it is also estimated that as many as three times that number have experienced a mystical or spiritual encounter. A new book, Eyes of an Angel, carries a compelling message that these people and their families yearn to hear. Indeed, it is a message the whole world needs to hear.

Eyes of an Angel is an amazing, true account of Soul Travel, Angels, Spirit Guides, Soul Mates, and the Reality of Love. Written in a compelling, easy to read style, it conveys a unique and fascinating story. Not only will it appeal to those who are believers in the spiritual and paranormal, but also to the general population who want to believe that these things are true.

A former television news reporter and mayor of a Canadian city, Paul Elder is a survivor of two near-death experiences — a drowning at the age of 12, and a heart attack at the age of 41. A previously avowed skeptic, Elder found, to his dismay, that his near-death encounters had opened within him a psychic doorway to the spirit world — a doorway he has been able to return through, time and time again. With the assistance of angels and spirit guides, he was systematically led through a series of stunning revelations. From reunions with departed souls to the discovery of soul mates and past lives, his re-education left him with incredible insights as to our true nature and purpose in the universe.

Eyes of an Angel is the true story of a mainstream politician who could not openly share or discuss the profound, spiritual experiences changing his perspective on life. Skillfully integrating near-death and out-of-body experiences in a way that has never been done before, Elder’s story will encourage readers to truly listen to their own intuition and guidance, striving to live from their heart centers, rather than just from their heads. A book of hope and courage, it can instantly change millions of lives. It will give readers of books like Conversations With God inspiration to create their own dialogue with their own spirit guides and God. Unlike any other book on the market, Eyes of an Angel offers a gripping first hand account of a remarkable spiritual adventure. Its story will keep you spellbound, while its message resonates deep within your soul.

Dannion's Excellent Sequel, but Caution: Non-Biblical themes 4 out of 5 stars.
12 of 23 people found this review helpful.

"When thirteen Beings of Light tell you to do something, it is hard to say no." (Page 157, "At Peace in the Light," in which Brinkley answers his critics regarding his plans to build stress reduction "The Centers." Also a very funny quote!)

Dannion Brinkley writes an excellent follow-up on his hit best seller regarding his two NDE's (near death experiences). This is the fellow who was struck by lightening , clinically dead for 28 minutes before being revived, met by a "Spirit Being" both times he died, and received subsequent visions from these "Beings of Light" regarding the creation of his stress reduction "centers."

Click on the link to "see all my reviews" for my take on his *first* book. Interestingly, he appeared to use very few direct quotes from the original book, choosing instead to rephrase descriptions previously written about. For example, Brinkley quotes Dr. Raymond Moody on both page 183 of "Saved by the Light" and also on page 168 of "At Peace in the Light" as follows: "You don't have to die," he said. "Stay for me. I need your help." Very original!

He masterfully uses a brief, well-written forward by James Redfield, another expert in the field. Brinkley co-wrote his riveting sequel with talented author, Paul Perry (who also co-wrote with him on his first book). Also interesting: He only waited about a year after completion of his first book to finish his second.

Brinkley, now himself a talented author, again discusses the boxes of knowledge, leaving some future predictions for your review. Working with both average citizens and those dying in a hospice setting, he brings home the themes of:

* Control of our lives to make a positive change for the future;
* A spiritual evolution, in which we understand that what we do to others affects us deeply (Christians will recognize this as the "law of sowing and reaping");
* His desire to dispel all fear of death is a key motive in his writing of these book; and, lastly,
* Brinkley shares my views on alternative medicine, particularity testifying to the healing powers of chiropractic (which has also proved useful for me).

He adds an account of how he felt useless and used, merely using his talent to help gambling friends win at the horse races or on bets on sports events! (Masterful and compelling.) A family friend, whose father had been a slave, was dying and came to see him. This was touching and a contrast to his other "so called" friends.

Let me repeat a few key points you may have missed up until this review:

I view Brinkley as a credible and believable psychic: My research was unable to uncover any independent testimony to discredit or call into question his sweeping claims that he was able to see into the private lives of people by merely touching them.

This true ability is not unlike that of the late Rev. Roland buck, whose claims that he got messages from Angels of God about peoples' private lives has NOT been refuted or discounted, even roughly twenty-five (25) years after publication of "Angels on Assignment," the classic book, in which Charles and Frances Hunter took down the testimony of Pastor Buck, an aging pastor who wasn't trying to write any book or turn a dollar. (I highly recommend "Angels on Assignment.")

Brinkley again mentions religion. However, as in the first book, red flags go up, which should be of interest to the Judeo-Christian reader:

* In his sequel, here, Brinkley continues to omit any mention of Jesus' role in all of this, supporting previous claims that there are many paths to righteousness, on page 202 of his first book.
* Again, he doesn't even touch on the topic of Hell, which is certainly mentioned in both the Old and New Testament Bible.
* He repeats his themes of leaving the body, assuring a visiting Japanese journalist that it is "quite normal." (Page 176; She gets the shock of her life!)
* Use of "necromanteums" (page 172), where people make contact with the dead.

Christian readers should know that magical arts, which author espouses, are strictly forbidden: Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 19:26, as is "necromancy," that is, the speaking to the dead: Deuteronomy 18:11. Could the "Beings of Light" be fallen angels, demons masquerading as God's Holy Angels? "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." (2nd Corinthians 11:14-15)

As with his first book, which I also reviewed, I can not in good conscience give it the top rating of five stars for these reasons, but I still consider it among the few books among the "required reading" category, not only because he probably really saw something, but, and let me emphasize, I feel that his heart is right and pure, and many of the things he says are true, and VERY beneficial (not to mention outright fascinating!).

However, for a more balanced approach to the dark side of the Spirit World, I also recommend "The Beautiful Side of Evil," in which Johanna Michaelsen writes in this reliable perennial, equally a classic, her experiences with leaving her body under the influence of evil spirits and the journey back home to rid herself of the occult and witchcraft. Also, read your Bible, separating truth from fiction, to keep from going astray and overextending yourself, in the same way drug users and thieves must later "pay the piper" for that initial, but forbidden, thrill.

I highly recommend Dannion Brinkley's book, and extend my good will towards him for his momentous effort and fervent concern for his fellow man.

Do yourself a favor and read this book! 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I've read many books of this nature on my quest and this is, by far, one of the best. I've been taught to use discernment and so, do not accept everything or even much of what I read and hear but this rang of truth and authenticity. Even though I believe I knew most of what was in the book, I felt as if I had just been given a "textbook" or guidebook to keep around for reference. And comfort. This book is a gift.

From A Student and Friend of Dolores Cannon 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Upon becoming a Hypnotherapist in 1995 I did a Past Life Regression on my daughter and wasn't receiving the answers I thought I should be getting. I was at a local Psychic Center telling some friends about this when out of no where off the book shelves flies 3 books into the floor.(no one was even near those shelves). Everyone looked at me and said there's your answers.

When I walked over to the books lying in the floor they were all by Author Dolores Cannon and one of the just happen to be this book, Between Death & Life. I bought all three books, took them home and started reading. I cant's say that at that time I believed everything that I read, but after my own experiences as a Hypnotherpaist over the past 10 years, I can honestly say today that the truth is the truth whether we like to hear it or not. I ahve since becoem a believer and I know for a fact things are not always what they seem to be.

In August of 2004 I was privileged to take a class where Dolores teaches her regression technique. Through this class I learned that I already have my own way of getting the same information Dolores does through her clients, just in a different way. Thanks to Dolores, her books and her teachings I am now in the process of publishing my own book, a CD and a cassette tape of a guided meditation for healing to help everyone access healing, knowledge and to resolve issues from present and past lives.

I can honestly say to anyone who is a non-believer, you must open your mind and heart to receive the truth and you must be ready for it. I know I wasn't at first, but when it happens to you it's a whole different story. Have a regression done for yourself and see what transpires. What do you have to loose?

Thank you Dolores and God Bless You!

Editorial Review:

On September 19, 1972, when Larry Tooley's scaffold fell and he plunged to the concrete floor below, one of the most remarkable near-death experiences ever recorded began. I Saw Heaven! is the complete account of his accident and his extensive tour beyond the veil.

As Larry's spirit left his body and journeyed upward, he passed through a foreboding fog and witnessed agonized souls in outer darkness. Then, drawn to a brilliant light and greeted by a being who emanated overwhelming love, he underwent a life review and experienced the stripping away of earthly impurities.

He entered a receiving station through a suspended arched doorway. His name was recorded, he was dressed in a white robe and was greeted by a deceased former acquaintance who was to be his guide on an extensive reacquaintance tour of the spirit world. They communicated through telepathisc speech and flew by thought projection from place to place together. He was re-taught concerning the powers he enjoyed before birth: of projecting thoughts, levitation, unassisted flight, and that all matter exists at varying levels of vibrational frequencies.

Larry was shown through a kingdom of beauty and order. He saw communities with buildings made from a marble-like material, surrounded by beautiful trees and landscaping. They visited a learning center where he was shown advanced ways of obtaining knowledge. They toured a genealogical research center where people were working to establish their relationships with their forefathers, and he was taught the importance of linking families together. A family reunion was held for him to acquaint himself with many of his relatives, ad he found that he could learn all about them by embracing them. He met his sister, Wendy, who had died shortly after her birth, and found her adorned in a brilliant white robe which reflected her advanced level of progression.

His guide led him to the outskirts of the heavenly city where God dwells, nestled at the base of a mountain. He saw from afar the immensity of the city with its beautiful domed spires. He felt the city's divinity and was told of the restrictions concerning who may enter it.

Larry was also shown other worlds and traveled among them. He was able to re-experience his conversation with his pre-mortal sweetheart just before their birth into mortality. One of his most intriguing encounters was with the council which eventually gave him permission to return to earth and resume his mortal life.

I Saw Heaven! is the true acocunt of one of the most imformative near-death experiences ever recorded. All who want to learn more of the next stage of their existence will be fascinated by the many insights and details it contains. It's a must-read book!

A Book to Convince: Elisabeth Kubler Ross's "Is There Life After Death" 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This two CD audio book tells, in the author's own voice, of discoveries made from numerous interviews of people who'd had a "near death" experience. From them she's been able to answer the age old question, "Is there life after death?" Her description of what we each are destined to undergo is both convincing and joyous.

Kubler Ross was trained as a medical doctor and researcher. Her evidence is presented scientifically: the blind man capable of describing the doctor's tie, the accident victim who knew his mother and brother had preceded him in death. Conclusions are founded on reported common experience and scientific observation.

This pair of CDs is recommended to anyone interested or curious about life after death who has at least a slightly open mind. Those who already hope for or believe in life after death will end up knowing it to be fact. Those who doubt are going to be very hard pressed to not to become convinced.

The only caveat I have is that Kubler Ross's Swiss accent may be difficult for some to understand. For them repeated listenings should help.

Editorial Review:

In 1969, Dr. Elisabeth K?bler-Ross changed the way we think about the fi nal stage of our lives with her revolutionary book, On Death and Dying. Now, in this landmark recording, this revered researcher speaks about her largely private revelations, observations, and conclusions on life after death. Dr. K?bler-Ross, the first scientist to embark upon a genuine inquiry on the similarities between near-death experiences of people all over the world, gathered empirical data and personal impressions from countless studies that informed her opinions on what awaits us all when we leave this life. From her family archives comes a rare published audio of this trailblazing author speaking in her own words, as she engages the oldest question of all: Is There Life After Death?

I truly like Mr. Andrews writing. Very easy read, not to complex and loaded with a lot of information. His exercises are truly great to do. Each chapter is filled with information that will want the reader wanting more upon subjects about past lives, which includes subjects about karma, soul mates (what they truly are and how you can tell), mysteries about birth and death, animals (Which Mr. Andrews seems to touch on the best) and reincarnation. I highly recommend this book, worth the time and money.

Editorial Review:

Children who claim to remember a previous life have been found in many parts of the world, particularly in the Buddhist and Hindu countries of South Asia, among the Shiite peoples of Lebanon and Turkey, the tribes of West Africa, and the American northwest. Stevenson has collected over 2,600 reported cases of past-life memories of which 65 detailed reports have been published. Specific information from the children's memories has been collected and matched with the data of their former identity, family, residence, and manner of death. Birthmarks or other physiological manifestations have been found to relate to experiences of the remembered past life, particularly violent death. Writing as a specialist in psychiatry and as a world-renowned scientific investigator of reported paranormal events, Stevenson asks us to suspend our Western tendencies to disbelieve in "reincarnation" and consider the reality of the burgeoning record of cases now available. This book summarizes Stevenson's findings which are presented in full in the multi-volume work entitled. Reincarnation and Biology: A Contribution to the Etiology of Birthmarks and Birth Defects, also published by Praeger.

Editorial Review:

"Death is nothing to fear - and life without fear can be lived to the fullest."

This is Kimberly Clark Sharp's message from her extraordinary experience during the time after her heart suddenly stopped beating and she lay on the sidewalk, not breathing, and without a pulse. Swept into a peaceful loving place of brilliant golden light and warm comfort, she saw, for the first time, the meaning of life - and death.

Thereafter, Kimberly, with hamster Toto at her side, left Kansas for Seattle - known as "the Emerald City" -- to fulfill a destiny devoted to the service of others as foreseen at the end of her near-death experience. Guided by a new sensitivity to the presence of angels, demons and other invisibilities, Kimberly attained a Masters degree in Social Work at the University of Washington and began a career in medical social work that put her in direct contact with dying people - and people who almost died and came back.

It is the inspirational stories of these near-death experiences, as well as Kimberly's own life challenges in love, family life and the diagnosis of breast cancer, that form the core of this surprisingly funny page-turner of a book.

Editorial Review:

Presents an in-depth look at children who have experienced the near-death phenomenon and the heightened abilities that these children exhibit

• Provides compelling evidence for the existence of a generation of children who represent the spiritual evolution of the human race

• Includes firsthand testimonies of children who have returned from near death

The New Children and Near-Death Experiences is the first book to provide--from the view of the child--an in-depth study of children who have experienced the near-death phenomenon and its aftereffects. Atwater notes that the child who returns from a near-death experience is not the same child as before, but is a “remodeled, rewired, reconfigured, refined version of the original.” Presenting data to support her contention that these children have experienced structural, chemical, and functional changes in the brain, she also shows how their greater empathic abilities as well as dramatically higher intelligence are qualities that are also present in children born since 1982--enhanced abilities that cannot be tied to simple genetics. Atwater shows that understanding the near-death experiences of children can help us prepare for a quantum leap in the evolution of humanity.
