This Book a Godsend; Had Similar ExperienceAugust 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I can't say enough on behalf of this book. It is a "first" in many ways, and represents a whole new genre of metaphysical information slowly seeping into this reality. There are many dimensions to this tome, just as there are many dimensions of reality, which author Stephanie Riseley deftly conveys in her personal story of love and sacred sex as it exists from the physical world to the divine realm. But don't let this scare you off; the book is reader-friendly. Whether you are metaphysically inclined or just in need of comfort over the loss of a loved one, there are powerful messages in here for you. This book has been a godsend to me personally, as I had an almost identical experience from someone I had wanted to marry when I was young, and didn't. I did not learn the whole truth about our brief relationship in this world until he passed over to the other side last year and came back to me, after having been parted for several decades. We analyzed together what had happened between us. This miracle DOES occur between dimensions; these encounters ARE happening more and more, and communications from the "other side" are coming through with more and more crystal clarity. When my experience began last year, I went searching for others who had had this type of encounter. I didn't get anywhere. Then in June 2008, I "accidentally" picked up a magazine I rarely read, and there was a full-page ad for Love From Both Sides. I was stunned; I couldn't believe someone had finally had the moxie to write about this subject, which is so intimate to people who have experienced it personally, as I have. It's even harder to talk about it. I went to a metaphysical bookstore right away, but the store didn't have it. Thank goodness for Amazon; I was able to order the book before it was actually out there in the stores. Stephanie Riseley conveys this miraculous story of inter-dimensional relationship healing with wit, candor, charm, thoughtful self-analysis of her own initial skepticism, and subsequent validation that indeed her partner had returned to her for a while after his "death" which is really just another form of birth. He came back to help her understand the missing pieces of their relationship, and to grow from it, and to get their story out to those of us who need it. I bless you Stephanie for teaching us that there truly is no death, just transformation.
Fascinating, unique view of relationships from the other sideAugust 3, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
In LOVE FROM BOTH SIDES, Stephanie Riseley gives us an intense and sensitive portrait of what it was like for her to grieve the death of her husband and of all her hopes for their future, how she unexpectedly experienced him from the other side and how she was able to transcend her grief and gain new and releasing insight into their relationship.
The personal nature of the observations on relationships Stephanie Risely channels from the other side makes his book unique among the channeled books I've read.

I've never read anything like this. It would be hard not to think differently about your life and your relationships after you read this book. It's both a fascinating auto-biography and very enlightening spiritual guide. The author shares her experiences with the "soul" of her deceased husband in vivid detail. Anyone who has lost a loved one can gain unique perspective.

In this book, Stephanie Riseley has shown that recovery from grief is possible, and that one need not "hang on to" angers, frustrations, resentments of those who have disappointed us during their lives. It would work for those whose parents are dead, or spouses...or anyone feeling acute loss. In one year she was able to transcend the loneliness, grief and negative memories, into a glorious time of moving forward and creating a nurturing and nurtured life.

Ms Riseley has written this story with such clarity and precision that she has caused me to re-think the possibilities of what comes after. I was given this book to read, and I didn't want to. After the first chapter I could not put it down. Hypnotizing.
