One Last Time: A Psychic medium Speacks to Those We Have Loved and LostFebruary 8, 2008 This book is very well written and the stories touch your heart. John Edward shares with you his struggles of being young with his gift and how he learned along the way. Loved it!
Great book!!!!January 23, 2008 This book touches on various subjects including an autobiographical account of John Edward's life and how he came to become a medium. It also has him telling the reader what he sees during a reading and how he interprets it and how he can make mistakes. For me this was the most interesting part of the book, it reminded me of reading how a writer got an idea for a book. He also recounts several stories of people who he did readings for that made a permanent impression on him for various reasons. The book is very easy to read, I read the entire book in two days. It is almost like he is in front of you talking to you. He doesn't come across as arrogant, in fact he acknowledges that he has a gift, and seems warm and sincere. He even tells you how to separate a good psychic from a fraud. If you have any interest in the subject of the afterlife, psychic ability, or just an interest in John Edward, this is worth reading.
In the last chapter there is a meditation exercize, which in the beginning is similar to the guided fantasy relaxation we used to do in theater, but then goes further. I haven't tried it yet, but even if it makes you relaxed, it is worth the time.
an echo of other reviews: a great book whether you believe it or notJanuary 15, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have not seen Crossing Over, so I did not have any preconceived ideas about him. He is an excellent story teller and this book leaves me with a lot of hope. John comes across as a nice, intelligent, and sincere person just trying to use his gift in the right way as well as make a living from it. He makes a valiant effort to answer our questions (as best he can) instead of brushing past them. Very convincing and entertaining.
Excellent Read!January 2, 2008 Great book!!! Bought this for a friend of mine whose mother passed away and is having a hard time with her death. John Edwards is completely believable and a very compassionate person. Reading his stories, makes you totally believe that there is life after death and that those we lost are truly right there with us. He has so many great stories of people that he has helped. A real recommended read. Don't hesitate.
The Best Book Ever WrittenNovember 17, 2007 This is, without a doubt, the best book ever written.
At the start, John Edward talks about how when he was a child he began getting up and sleepwalking around the house, but it was his mind doing it.
Then it gets more awesome... Edward talks about spirits' communicating with him, and the dead coming to people in dreams. This makes sense, since the dead aren't waking up consciously again, dreams might naturally be their main way of communicating with the living. John Edward says lucid dreams were his closest encounters with the Other Side.
Furthermore, in looking up the word in Webster's dictionary I found the word "lucid" very descriptive: "Translucent or transparent."
It doesn't take much to put two and two together... people see ghosts and they almost always look transparent.
I recommend John Edward's "One Last Time" to anyone interested in the afterlife. Heck, I recommend this book to everyone. It's the best book ever.
