Summary: Confirmation that intuition really exists! Thank you!
Review: After 25 years of meditating, I had my first "Divine Revelation" today, thanks to Susan Shumsky's technique. It worked the first time I tried it. I didn't even think it was going to work and it did. All I can say is that it was amazing and I'm going to order her book for family and friends.

Summary: How to Hear and Trust the Still Small Voice Within
Review: Do you remember the most recent time you needed help making an important decision, and wished you could have gotten some really good advice? Perhaps you tried hearing the "little voice" of intuition, but weren't sure whether you were hearing the best advice for you to follow... or perhaps you couldn't hear anything at all.

Not to worry! Susan Shumsky's wonderful book, DIVINE REVELATION, describes how to find deeply meaningful answers to all your questions -- as well as how you can follow nine steps of discernment to ensure that the voice of intuition you hear is a true message from Spirit. She lists eleven safeguards to ensure you receive divine messages, as well as signals for healing and "yes" and "no" responses, and fourteen steps for receiving clear answers. Shumsky also describes how to word your questions for Spirit, so you will gain maximal benefit from the answers you receive.

The basic premise of Shumsky's book is that we can receive information and inspiration simply by asking for it, so she provides mediations and prayers to help get us started. Shumsky recommends that healing prayers be utilized often, since they are essential for clearing out negative habits, thoughts, feelings, and psychic ties to others before we attempt to clearly receive spiritual messages.

Whether you have never before received messages from Spirit or are quite adept at it, DIVINE REVELATION is jam-packed with wonderful ideas to help you receive information more clearly than ever before. There is a tremendous emphasis on self-knowledge in this book, so those who are willing and eager to look more deeply at themselves will likely enjoy it the most.

Summary: First book of it's kind...
Review: For the first time in my 15 years of reading metaphysical books, one has come along and describes the dangers of getting involved with expanding and opening your mind if you don't know what you're doing AND shows you how to deal with them, protect yourself, and PROPERLY receive higher, spiritual guidance. I had some very negative experiences with "astral entities" as they're called in the book, almost prompting me to abandon my spirituality altogether. But, after reading the chapters on protection, healing, and becoming "spiritually street-smart", I am now confident that I can contact the divine at will and know it will be safe, loving, and comforting. Thank you, Susan Shumsky, for finally bringing to light a safe and workable method for connecting to God on a regular basis for the benefit of your own life and all life.

Summary: Publishers Weekly Missed Something
Review: I just read the above review of DIVINE REVELATION by Publishers Weekly, and I must say that whoever wrote this review is very prejudiced and close-minded. The scathing comments about the author are completely inaccurate. Obviously the reviewer did not even bother to read the author's biography in the back of the book.

I read DIVINE REVELATION a few years ago, and I still use this simple, practical way to communicate with God directly. This book completely transformed my life. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to lead a more spiritual life and have direct contact and experiences of God.

One of the most important features of this book are the nine tests that helped me to tell the difference between the true voice of God and other voices in my mind. I have found the author's nine-test program is unparalleled among metaphysical authors.

The affirmations and prayers for spiritual healing are extremely useful for getting back to center whenever I feel "off." I use these every day, and they have been a life saver for me.

I made a guided meditation tape using the instructions in the book, and I found it really helped me get the experience much more deeply.

I rate this as one of the top five spiritual self-help books that I have ever read.

Summary: Lots of positives but.........
Review: I think this book is a gem in many ways but also a little confusing and inconsistent. Dr. Shumsky claims that daily meditation is easy but the fact is, you really do have to memorise quite a few different prayers as you submerge into your spiritual realm. Not only is there a necessary order in which to recite these prayers, but additional subject-specific prayers may be needed. In one part of the book she says that "signalling" is needed before asking if a spirit "comes in the name of God" and in another part of the book she states that an elaborate test is necessary for determining whether an entity is truly God or something else (i.e. astral entity or ego). In this section she calls for identifying God before asking for his signal. All this confusion has disrupted my meditation, which I felt initially was making good headway.

Another criticism I have, is that Dr. Shumsky lists "teachers" in both her book and Website with the caveat that she does not know whether they are sufficiently trained or not.

Does anybody else besides me feel they are stumbling in the dark with this method? ... Thank you.
