Summary: GREAT!
Review: A Must Read for those who want to know what happens to our loved ones and what will happen to us when we "pass over", because we don't die.

Rating:
Summary: ghostly
Review: Although, I do believe in life after death, this book was a reiteration of other books I've read on this subject. It really wasn't anything new or refreshing. It lack a soul (no pun intended). This wasn't, When dreams may come.

Summary: The most enlightening book you will ever read
Review: For anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, whether a relative or friend, this book is a must-read. Having just lost my mother in a tragic auto accident,my feelings were consumed with grief, sadness, anger, remorse. Life after death is a very inspirational book. A very calming and practical explanation of what happens to us when we leave the physical world. My feelings of despair have now been replaced with feelings of love and happiness,with the belief that there is continuity after death. Mary T. Browne is a gifted person indeed, and also a generous one, by sharing her incredible insight with others. This is an important book to read if you have ever grieved the loss of a friend or loved one.

Summary: I Agree with Oklahoma City! A Big Disappointment
Review: I can't say it better than the person who wrote the review entitled "Looking for Comfort & Reassurance? Don't Look In THIS Book!", dated March 14, 2002. Ditto! I would not recommend this book. I also found her tone condescending and arrogant and really unbelievable.

Summary: Not much new to read is offered.
Review: I found the author's interpretation of life after death interesting. However, the author's offers little support as to how she has come to these conclusions of life after death. She minimally describes her "gift" and how it explains her view of the life hereafter. The book is quick to read, but I've found others more worth reading. Pay particular attention to the sections on Sir William and Lawrence. I found it confusing and needed to reread these sections.

Rating:
Summary: Understanding
Review: I found the book to explain and confirm that after our physical life..We continue to exist and don't just vanish into a pile of ashes and that's the end. But, rather that we continue to grow and enrich our existance on this plateau and the ones beyond. I don't understand everything or agree totally with every issue but, most definitly recommend this book to anyone who has had a friend or a loved one pass on.

Summary: Looking for Comfort & Reassurance? Don't Look In THIS Book!
Review: I have been studying after-death phenomena & communications for quite sometime & have read about 30-40 books on the subject. I was very disappointed in the tone of this book. The author seemed rather arrogant & condescending toward the reader. Readers like myself who study the Other Side & have read many books on it will attest to the fact that nearly all books follow the same beliefs & draw the same conclusions. The stories Browne shares seem very farfetched, & very few of her beliefs agree with those of John Edward, James Van Praagh, Sylvia Browne, etc. For example, most every other book states that everyone has spirit guides (with the exception being dark entities who "recycle life after life"). This author claims that only psychics & mediums have earned the privilege of having a spirit guide. In fact, supposedly one of her spiritual teachers is in human form & just "knows" when it is necessary for him to "appear" in her life to give her his "point of view." Her encounters with this spirit-guide-in-human-form who can appear & disappear at will & apparently can be seen by other people like you & me sound more reminiscent of fiction or even slight undertones of a romance novel. Browne also regales us with the ridiculous story of how she came to use her psychic gift professionally. Story goes, she was singing in a nightclub when all of a sudden she saw the spirit of Judy Garland off to the side in the audience. That night, Judy Garland spoke to Browne in a dream, telling her to go full-time as a psychic because she had such a wonderful gift, and so Browne made that night's performance her last. After reading this, I kid you not, I actually looked at the spine of the book to see if the book was classified as fiction or nonfiction. I also found that the author seemed quite the braggart & tended to focus more on herself when sharing stories of her clients than on the clients themselves. For example, she makes sure to point out very clearly that it was because of HER gift that this person was at peace, or that it was "her power" that brought the spirit to Earth. (Spirits are always here amongst us!!) She later says that she doesn't ever try to contact spirits or "call them back to Earth"; rather, they "choose" to visit HER. That may not sound like a big deal, but with the overall tone of the book, it is just arrogant; you would have to read it to fully understand what I mean. Browne says that a soul must reincarnate over & over until it has learned while on Earth to speak every language & astral travel at will, among other "requirements." She states these "rules" almost as though they are her own. Every other reputable book will tell you that it us up to the soul whether to reincarnate. She also claims that, contrary to what John Edward & the like tell us, only those humans who have "earned the right" will be able to contact a deceased loved one. Browne tells us that if our loved one does not respond to our efforts to contact them, don't worry, it only means that our souls aren't advanced enough or haven't earned "the right to communicate", & we'll see them again someday anyway. If you are a reader looking for comfort following the loss of a loved one, I would not recommend this book. I have lost 4 close family members in the last year & this book did not bring me comfort at all. The only reason I even gave this book 2 stars is for the simple fact that I just HAD to keep reading it to see what she would say next. What a waste of $... this was.

Summary: Not for those looking for comfort as a suicide survivor
Review: I have not a doubt that Ms.Browne has a psychic gift but, I do feel that if you read a great many other books by different pychics you will be comforted and reassured that a loved one lost to suicide will be forgiven in the life hereafter.Ms. Browne takes a vague and different view that is not the case.Yet she does talk about a devine power of love and forgiveness that doesn't fit in with her thoughts on the victims of suicide.Some how I feel this area is not her expertise and that this particular book should be skipped by anyone looking fo reassurance that their loved one has been welcomed with open arms to the life hereafter. As I stated before I do indeed feel that Ms. Browne is gifted with the psychic ablility but, I think the comdemnation of suicide victims is contrary to everything else she writes.

Summary: Fabulous easy read about life after "death".
Review: I loved this book. I've read many books on reincarnation and life after "death" and found this the easiest to read and follow. This book just confirmed what I've always felt -- there is more to life as we know it and death is not death but a transition to the other side!
