This was an ok read it didn’t have nearly the research or background information that I have seen in other books on this subject. It was also a bit disjointed in some areas. I would say this is more of a very basic introduction to the topic. Some parts are enjoyable and I like the cover art. I do believe with more in-depth research and a better layout and presentation of the subject would help enhance this book.

This was an interesting book. It's part encyclopedia, part primer, and part biography. Biography isn't the right word; the book focuses on the author's wife who has extra sensory powers.
This isn't well written but it is mostly easy to read. I didn't always understand and felt often things stayed in the shallow water.
But I did enjoy hearing about Linda Lee's expeirences.

This is a book with insight from psychic, Linda Lee Hack, written by her husband. The book was written as an introduction to the spirit world but contains enough good information that even other psychics will find valuable insight. I picked this title to read after a visit to Lily Dale, A psychic healing community in New York. The book was an interesting read with a lot of research into the first psychic readers and the growing acceptance of this school of thought. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Wasn’t a fan of this. Have read a lot of books 9n these topics and the writing style wasn’t it for me. Was hard to finish for me.

This book is a good reference book with information that can help those interested in this field progress.

Feel the need to do your homework on what psychics and mediums have to say about what lies beyond earthly realities?

This book claims so to do. David Hack, wife of medium Linda Lee, has certainly does his homework. Hack is no psychic himself, and certainly no theologian, but he has conscientiously read the material and background of psychics all the way from the table-wrapping Fox Sisters to the current day. The work of Kardec, founder of spiritism, is discussed, alongside that of Michael Newton, who writes of lives between lives. Different types of clairsentience are described..

Iain Stephenson's painstaking research on reincarnation makes an appearance,
alongside the life and writings of Cayce and rhe channelled works of Helena Blavatsky.

Jane Roberts, who initially channelled her discarnate intelligence Seth through an ouija board, is mentioned next.

Later on, are transcriptions of Hack's wife's sessions whilst under regression, as well as messages from the Beyond about what 9/11 was really all about. And it is here that my inner sceptic did begin to surface.

The thing is, as Hack does also point out, if there is any kind of afterlife, perceptions about it will certainly be beyond what any earthly ego might be capable of understanding. That may well mean that any kind of hopes and fears for the future, especially for Humanity, are ripe for all kinds of projections mixed alongside whatever other truths may be buried within the voluminous writings of all these psychics, mediums and channellers.

As said, Hack Hack certainly did do his homework, and does give clear directions for where to follow up on this topic. Meanwhile, perhaps what is sometimes predicted and claimed for the future should perhaps be taken with a pinch of salt.
