Summary: One Last Time for the Pet-Lover
Review: John Edwards, along with George Anderson and others have brought comfort and solace to many a grieving person. So many people who have watched his show and read his book swear by Mr. Edwards. In the past few years, many books have come out on communication from beyond, NDE's and the like; many have become immensely popular.The problem is, however, for those who are grieving the loss of their beloved pet, about all they have been able to find to help assuage their grief are books that try to get you to deal with your loss, remember your companion fondly, etc etc. Some give you wonderful, touching stories about their own departed pets. Unfortunately, none of these kinds of books serve to mitigate the tearing grief of those of us who feel that we might never see our furry or feathered dear friends again. What makes matters even worse is when some go to their respective minister or priest for comfort, only to be told that animals cease to exist after death.Finally, however, a book came out dealing with the wonderful truth-- animals do, indeed, have an afterlife ( BTW, those ministers and priests need to study their Scriptures more effectively! Let them start with Romans 8: 19-23 and Revelations 5:13 where it tells us all! animals will praise God at the Throne at the time of the Resurrection).The book THE SOUL OF YOUR PET (Scott S Smith) has well-over 100 recountings of people who have had interactions with either their own departed pets or have seen other people's; sometimes there are multiple witnesses; sometimes living pets interact with the spirit one. This makes it pretty hard to suggest grief-induced hallucination, certainly.The book also contains a chapter on animal intelligence, among others.James Randi-- and any other skeptic-- I challenge you to suggest a viable alternative to this explanation of sightings and interactions; some people see and feel their respective pet, other hear it-- there is a broad range of experiences.I urge anyone who is grieving over the loss of his or her pet to read this book! I also would recommend a precious little book written for children but treasured probably more by adults. It was inspired by the author's seeing her beloved dog in the arms of an angel after it had passed. This book makes the heart smile. These two books complement each other beautifully.The book is FOR EVERY DOG AN ANGEL (she has since written one for cats, as well).In closing, I do want to give one caveat: when a person appears to someone of its own volition, that is one thing, but when one goes to seances, this is strictly forbidden by the Bible. Visits by spirits to the bereaved to say goodbye, or to coming when the departed feels it can give needed comfort is not forbidden. It is important to remember that just as good and evil exists on this side, it does on the other, as well. During the seance, your beloved aunt might be the one contacted, but it could also be an evil spirit posing as such. Why? People have a tendency to think that the Departed know everything. Often they tend to ask them questions,and rely upon their advice. An evil entity likes nothing better than to "take over" and run your life; no need for Scripture when you have your own "spirit guide", no? Please be careful!There are no cases in the PET SOULS book where any spirit animal acts other than as an animal. Theycarry no messages. These beloved friends are not "summoned", but, as I stated before, come of their own free will. What a wonderful gift from God! The Scriptures are there for our salvation, and don't mention much about man's symbiotic interaction with animals, so what a blessing,then, that God would give us this gift!One last point: I would have left this book unrated because of the above issue, but was not given the option. There certainly is no doubt it is most fascinating.

Summary: ONE LAST TIME
Review: One last time was a wonderfully written account of personal experiences. If you're looking for a personal, almost intimate, account of John Edward, this this book will certainly comply.
"One Last Time" is written in an almost conversational tone, not just an author spewing experiences out one after another after another.
This book has been fun to read and very informative. An uplifting and very emotional read and my spirit is the better for it.

Summary: Very comforting book
Review: I read this book after someone I cared for very much passed away suddenly. I was comforted by the stories in this book and the way that spirits communicate, sometimes in ways that we here on earth may not understand. Mr. Edward offers very good advice to those of us on this side. Recently, I was given my own sign by the person I cared about-I attribute this to using some of the techniques that Mr. Edward offers in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who grieves the loss of a loved one, or anyone who wants to fully appreciate his or her life on earth today.

Summary: Couldnt Put It Down
Review: I came across the TV show by accident and then went out and brought both One Last Time and Crossing Over which I am currently reading.
I read One Last Time in a weekend which is good even for me it was so easy to read it made me laugh out loud and cry, my husband teased me about both! After seeing the TV show it was very interesting to read how he discovered his talent and how it progressed. I recomend it to anyone its one of the best books I have read in years.

Summary: Read it one last time...
Review: I loved this book... My mother died of breast cancer at age 52 on February 7, 2001, and though she found out she was dying the previous November, she never told a soul... We were so close, in fact, our entire family is really close. We love each other so much, and try to be there and listen as much as we can. But my mom was truly the "heart" of the family... Everyone adored her. So to think that she was dying and in so much pain, and that none of us knew what she was going through until her doctor told us the day before she died while she was in a coma, was a lot to deal with. We couldn't believe she had kept this to herself... She, who had always been there for us, didn't give us a chance to be there for her... and we've been through 'hell' and back because of this. John's book really helped me, and I will be forever grateful to him.
I also bought his book 'Crossing over' as well as his 2 tape sets "Understanding your Angels and meeting your Guides" and "Unleashing your phychic potential"...I don't get a chance to share these with most of my family and friends for they only speak French, but I sure talk about how much John's work has helped me through difficult times.
Thank-you John, your work is so important... don't ever forget it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Yours truly, Nancy Cloutier...

Summary: Like rapping over coffee with a trusted friend.
Review: In this book John Edward comes across as down-to-earth and unpretentious as he does on television. He comes across as an average Joe that has dedicated himself to developing an ability that we all have- he just KNOWS that it is possible and has put the work in to hone the ability. This is really amazing when you stop to ponder the ramifications of what he is doing. Think about it, he is presenting specific information that no one else could know in many cases. And he does it consistently. He is giving us confirmation that our spirits survive. What could possibly be more significant than that? Sure, he has to market it as entertainment to get it out to the public, but this is far, far more. This is profoundly important stuff. Yet at no time do you get the feeling that he is "selling" you any particular viewpoint or dogma. Think of the comfort and closure that this show has brought to people. Yet, he fully explains how he does it- at no time does he "mystify" you with his "special powers." He even tells you that you don't need a psychic medium to connect to the other side- that you can do it yourself. He even tells you how to spot fakes. And he does it with humor and a smile.

Summary: Truth or entertainment?
Review: I enjoyed this book. It gave some interesting background information about John's personal history and how he got into this type of an occupation.
I'll also admit that I watch his show on the Sci-Fi channel. I keep an open mind but am still a bit skeptical about all this medium stuff. When I try to analyze how I really feel about John's talents, I feel somewhat conflicted. Either he's "for real" or he's got a rather entertaining act. I'm leaning towards "for real" because I can't determine how else he could come up with the information he relates.
I suppose deep down many of us want to believe that life doesn't just "end." But most of us haven't experienced what John does. He is very consistant in how he presents himself, both in the book and on TV. So, maybe it really is "for real." Maybe I won't be convinced until I personally experience a "reading." In any case, I feel that this book is worth reading.
Hey John, if you're reading this - keep up the good work!
