Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
If you loved the movie Ghost and the Time Traveler's Wife, or are fans of Mitch Albom, Karen Kingsbury, Jojo Moyes and Marian Keyes, then this is for you. This story will also resonate with anyone who's lost someone close to them and wishes more than anything that they could speak to them again. "Everybody's loved, everybody's lost. Grief strips you raw and makes you feel as if you're sleepwalking through life, like the pain will never go away. I'm Amy Tristan. I'm no different than anyone else. I've loved, I've lost and it sucks. I've got a five-year old son and an abusive husband. My mother died six months ago and I miss her like crazy. I'm the biggest sceptic when it comes to other-worldly stuff, so when I'm told that I can pick up the phone and call my mum in Heaven, I should disbelieve it, right? Wrong. I pick up that phone, because there's nothing I want more than to hear her voice trickle into the receiver. And you know what? It works. I get to speak to my mother. It's a miracle. If only it could stay this way, with those calls just for me, but someone up on high wants me to choose three other people to make a call to Heaven too. Who should I pick? How can I trust them to keep the phone secret? Making the choice is agonising - if I get it wrong, my calls will stop. I wish I hadn't told Daniel anything. He's this hot doctor that I've come to know. But doctors are scientists, and scientists are bigger sceptics than even me. He didn't believe in the phone. He thought I should be admitted to a sanatorium. Telling him was either the best decision of my life, or the worst. I'll let you decide..." This story will appeal to lovers of paranormal romance, romantic comedies, general fiction and religious, spiritual and visionary fiction. It will also appeal to anyone who believes (or wants to believe) in miracles. At the end of the book are questions for readers and book clubs to use as points of discussion.

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
What happens when we die? Do we really die alone? What if death is not the end but a new beginning? As the dying prepare to leave this world, they often begin to get a glimpse of what lies beyond through deathbed visits from deceased loved ones, strangers, and angelic or divine figures. Religious beliefs appear to have no bearing on these experiences—even atheists and nonbelievers have reported such phenomena. At times these visits are experienced by others in the room, offering incredible validity to the idea that life truly does continue. A Call from Heaven will: Report a wide variety of recent, documented deathbed visits from around the world. Introduce you to the many different forms of deathbed phenomena, including angelic visions, shared-death experiences, gateway or portal appearances, and many others. Highlight accredited research by renowned experts and scientists. Present substantial evidence—perhaps the most compelling to date—that we do not die alone. A Call from Heaven illustrates that death is not the end and that we all will be guided to the other side, comforting those who are grieving and removing the fear of death for all of us.

When Heaven Calls
Author: Matt Fraser
Publisher: Simon and Schuster

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
America’s top psychic medium reflects on his life of speaking to Spirit and the lessons he’s learned along the way—from both the living and the dead. Matt Fraser is just an ordinary guy…who happens to talk to dead people. Born into a psychic family, Matt carries on the legacy passed down from his late Grandmother Mary by connecting people to their dearly departed loved ones and delivering messages from the other side. His sold-out live group readings, television appearances, and private readings have allowed him to bring hope and healing to fans from around the world. But people who are not in the habit of talking with the dead have a hard time imagining what his day-to-day life is like. Based on the questions he gets, they seem to think he spends most of his time sitting cross-legged in a trance, maybe hovering a few inches off the ground, leaving his physical body behind as he journeys across the veil to the spirit realm. But it’s not like that at all. Now, in When Heaven Calls, Matt opens up about it’s really like to be a psychic medium—including how he discovered his spiritual gift, what it’s like to connect with souls on the other side, what communicating with the dead has taught him about embracing life, and how you can tap into your own intuitive awareness to manifest your dreams, goals, and desires.
