Book Description: A thoroughly entertaining and yet profoundly affecting account of the life of the author's uncle, a respected small-town doctor who, from the 1930s through the 1970s, experienced a wide range of spiritual phenomena: regularly journeying out of body and channeling his spirit guide, George. Through the records and journals of Dr. Riblet B. Hout, or "Rib" as he was known, we are made privy to what he learned about the connection between the healer and the healed, our individual missions on earth, free will, and our relationship with God. He also paints a vivid picture of the afterlife and provides a beautifully graphic first-person account of the actual moment of death, as the soul transitions away from physical life.
A Psychic in the Heartland goes a long way in dispelling our fears about the process of dying and of what happens after death. It also offers history and insight into Spiritualism and the "spiritualist camps" of the day (as Dr. Hout was a frequent visitor and sought-after speaker).
A Charming and Lovely Book! I just loved this book!! Not only was it interesting, but it made me feel like part of their family as I was reading it. Lovely, charming, and amazing. The part when his aunt was dying was incredible, and so touching, but not sad. Well, maybe a good sad. Powerful and sweet book. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
F. P. Dorchak (Author of Sleepwalkers, 2001) "I couldn't put this book down-period! A Psychic in the Heartland engaged me, captured me, fascinated me. Bettilu Stein Faulkner's writing is not only straightforward and heartfelt, but also cozy and welcoming-magically transporting me to a seemingly simpler time. I can truly say, after finishing this book, that I miss Rib, and his guide, George, for I feel in Riblet...a kindred spirit. Ausgezeichnet, Bettilu! I'm going to have to read A Psychic in the Heartland again and again!"
A Soulful World of Dr. Riblet B. Hout. This book tells a story of a doctor who traveled out of body, saw spirits, and talked to the dead. But this is not why I recommend this book to you. Most of the books on spirit communication preach what you have to believe and how you have to live your life. A Psychic in the Heartland fascinated me because of lack of aggressiveness. Bettilu Faulkner is not on a shepherd who is recruiting sheep to her flock, and she has no intention to turn you into a follower. Bettilu Faulkner's only concern is to relate her story in the best possible way. It results in soulful writing that makes you fall in love with the world of Dr.Riblet B. Hout. You will believe every word you read, and your shattered faith in humanness will be healed. You will enjoy the fine storytelling that has become a rarity in New Age books that are busy selling you concepts of love and forgiveness. The world of "A Psychic in the Heartland" comes from love and soulfulness. This is why I want you to read this book and receive your share of this heart-warming experience.
Psychic in the Heartland. Amazing reading for those who believe and those who don't believe that this life is just part of a long and wonderful journey. The experiences of "Rib" confirmed for me the belief that there is indeed more to us then the here and now. Written in a sincere and open style, the tone of the book, as well as its content, lends the atmosphere of credibility often sought for by readers of metaphysical publications and those just beginning the journey of inner exploration. Important reading for anyone who has ever wondered "where do we go from here?". Bravo!
A Fascinating Peek Into a Courageous & Mobile Mind Many human experiences remain unexplained by science, but that does not make them any less legitimate. As a scientist, I found the story of Riblet Hout to be a fascinating exploration of human consciousness and beyond. The book is at once a delightful spiritual journey, a philosophical enticement, and an intellectual mouthful. I enjoyed it tremendously.
