Crossing Over takes fans through the extraordinary journey that has been John Edward's life since One Last Time was published in 1998. It delves into the highs and lows that he has experienced in his role as a psychic medium, the powerful stories of the people he has encountered (and the spirits that have accompanied them) and how he has made his own transition into international celebrity while trying to bring peace and insight to those who grieve for their loved ones.

Product Description
From Amazon
Crossing Over reads like a casual conversation with an old childhood pal instead of like a memoir of a world-renowned psychic who has his own talk show on the Sci Fi channel. John Edward's narrative is down-to-earth and filled with vernacular expressions (including plenty of instances of "holy shit!"). There's the story of how his deceased mother finally gave him the three signs he hoped for after she died, and how he once contacted the recently departed songwriter Carl Perkins. Most of the time, Edward speaks about how the process of consulting with a psychic brings peace and reconciliation to those left behind--standard fare for medium memoirs. As compelling as Edward's stories are, what makes this memoir unique is how readily Edward exposes his own vanities and ego bruisings. He also delves into the behind-the-scenes reality of being a television medium. For instance, he reveals how his producers wanted to have dead-people "theme shows"--for instance inviting grieving members of Mother Against Drunk Driving to be the audience. This kind of "gallery rigging" goes against Edward's desire to enter readings without any prior knowledge of the person seated before him. Edward offers an amusing, and at times disturbing, look at how the ethereal world clashes with the celebrity world. --Gail Hudson

This book is easy to read. Having lost a son recently, I was looking for consolation/ explanation and reassurance. This book is more about John Edwards life-story and how he had to struggle to have a TV show. So not really the reassurance I was looking for- except for the part where his deceased mother actually sends him signs from the afterlife.

Format:Hardcover
John is a good writer, and communicates well on this side besides the other side! What I think is lacking is a broader scope of experiences. What other authors, like Tiffany Snow and Sylvia Browne are doing, is touching many aspects and challenging the reader to do the same, BESIDES telling the personal experiences. Too often, John just tells his own stories, which are entertaining, but limited. But, this book I like better than his other one, "after life," which is more of the same and even dryer than this one.
