Another great book from Sylvia Browne

I have almost every book that Sylvia or her son Chris has written. I would not trade them for the world. Sylvia has changed my life more than I can say. She gives hope, takes away fears and even makes you laugh. She is the best psychic that I have ever found and I have researched many. I have seen Sylvia in person and she is magical in her gift from God. If you don't like what she has to say, leave it behind and just take what you want. There is no denying that today the veil between earth and our home on the other side is thinning. Many more children are coming into this world with these gifts and others that may have them are learning how to use them for the good of others. As in everything, there are those who take advantage of people who are searching for answers. Sylvia will tell you how to know a true and honest psychic. Trust your heart and instincts and don't let desperation lead you the wrong way.

Good Information!

I have always loved the fact that Sylvia Browne talks about God, not many psychics do that. I have been helped in many ways by all of her books and this book is no exception. I loved the information about Sylvia's roots as a 3rd generation psychic and how we all can hone our own psychic skills and learn to trust our instincts. Good job Sylvia!

* A Good Read!! *

Very good book Sylvia, it's too bad there are others who purposely try to slam your integrity with meritless nonsense. But overall this book is very resourceful with info on what to look out for on readers. Delightfully inspiring and rings true to my soul. Yes unfortunately there are many bad apples from other 'psychics' who gives the good ones a bad name, but the truth within you Shall set you free no matter the obstacles. Good job! :)
