Talking to Heaven :
A Medium’s Message of Life After Death
by James Van Praagh
James Van Praagh is a world-famous
“mental medium” who mediates between the spiritual and physical realms. His
first book became an instant best-seller when it was published. Its message is one of
spiritual knowledge and guidance to everyone who would like to communicate with friends
and family members who have passed away.
He begins Talking to Heaven by telling his own story of how he came of age
psychically and presents basic explanations of psychic phenomena and various kinds of
mediumship. The book also movingly details many sessions where Van Praagh connects with
those who left this plane by such tragic circumstances as AIDS and suicide, then transmits
their love and reassurances to grieving family members. During one session a son, filled
with heartfelt sadness, begged for his mother’s forgiveness from beyond the grave
because he had committed suicide. Rather than using this book to demonstrate his own
skills as a medium, Van Praagh offers spiritual and psychological support to those who
have experienced grief.
There are a number of impressive and poignant stories in the book, including the
incredible incident where a crime was solved during a session. A murder victim, who was
thought to have committed suicide, revealed his killer’s identity to his own mother,
resulting in a murder conviction.
The book closes with a number of helpful instructions for embracing grief, healing pain,
and developing the ability to contact those who have passed on. Even those who may not be
seeking contact with the deceased will find Van Praagh’s down-to-earth discussions of
karma, the afterlife, and spiritual guides fascinating.
