Everyone loves a good ghost story. Perhaps the human fascination with the supernatural stems from the fact that most of us, at some point in our lives, have experienced something we couldn't quite explain. From a very young age James Van Praagh was aware of a dimension that most of us cannot see, and he has dedicated his life to explaining it to the rest of us. Ghosts Among Us takes us on an incredible journey into the spirit world that brings to light one of our greatest mysteries—what happens to us after we die?
Van Praagh, the New York Times bestselling author and co-executive producer of the CBS series The Ghost Whisperer, shares his knowledge and life experience about ghosts, a subject that can seem to many of us both bizarre and terrifying. But when the world beyond is explained fully by an experienced guide, dismissal and apprehension can be turned into knowledge and inspiration. With incredible true ghost stories and surprising details about how ghosts actively participate in our lives, Van Praagh challenges us to question our perceptions and shows us how we can live more fully through understanding the world of spirits. Including eerily accurate readings, the author's development as a medium, and detailed how-to information, Ghosts Among Us is an all-encompassing guide to the supernatural.
A Beautiful Book If you are ready to hear it, GHOSTS AMONG US is what the afterlife is truly like. I make this claim based on my own extensive research, experiences by family members who have seen their loved ones after death and in the manner described by Van Praagh. But he summarizes and presents the information in the best manner I've seen. And its not at all frightening. In fact it is much more hopeful than most religious dogma I've heard.
Covering everything from those who don't believe they are dead, to those who choose to return to earth (reincarnate), Van Praagh presents the most extensive view I've read so far, including a discussion on other dimensions. And you don't need a physics degree to understand.
Do not hesitate to purchase this book. Another in the same vein but from a vastly different perspective is Imbrogno's INTERDIMENSIONAL UNIVERSE.
4 stars I have never watched the author's show "The Ghost Whisper", but I recall enjoying his earlier book: "Talking To Heaven", when it came out in 1997. I waited several months to get this book from the library, as the holds list was rather lengthy, but finally it got to read it.
There were parts of this book that I really really loved, and parts that I was uninterested in, such as when the author talks about other galaxies etc. Parts of this book were very comforting. What I found so interesting was the descriptions of the types of ghosts, spirits and angels that walk among us and how to recognize and protect ourselves from those ghosts who do not have our best interests in mind. He spends time teaching us the practice of meditation and offers several meditations we can use to protect us and keep us safe.
There was a section when Van Praagh talks about how spirits try to let us know they are close by, and things to look for. I have had a few experiences when I felt that my parents, who died over 20 years ago were right in the house with me. One incident was on All Souls Day, a portrait of my parents that had hung on the wall for several years, just fell off the wall for no reason ( I was in another room, and no one else was around or home at the time). Other incidents of the television going on and off for no reason. These incidents did not scare me, but made me feel comforted.
In summary, this book was enjoyable, however, there was nothing scientific to substantiate some of what the author stated. I want to believe some of what he says is true, but only time will tell.
Ghosts Among Us Again, James Van Praagh has written a facinating book!! I always find his writting so very captivating. This is a book that I will definitely keep in my collection and if a person has not read James Van Praagh's work, I would highly recommend this as a first read. It is one that is very difficult to put down. C. Pekkala
