Other Side And Back: Amazon.ca: Sylvia Browne: Books

Product Description

From Amazon

In this upbeat look at a world that isn't as far removed from us as we might think, Sylvia Browne answers the big questions we all ask at one point or another: "What are angels?" "What happens when we die?" and "What are ghosts?" While The Other Side and Back may pacify your curiosity about the spirit realm, it also offers a cure to the cynicism that plagues us every day. Surprisingly, this book feels much more personal than Browne's biographical Adventures of a Psychic, perhaps because of the conversational, first-person narrative that brings the spirit world down to earth without diminishing its uniqueness. --Brian Patterson

From Publishers Weekly

Browne, who bills herself as a psychic and spiritual teacher, follows up her Adventures of a Psychic with this comprehensive manual on living a spiritual life. She tells readers how to detect subtle energy levels, find their spirit guides, discover the major themes of their lives, recognize angels and dark entities, and master myriad other spiritual challenges. Browne's twofold purpose, she states, is to help readers use their psychic abilities to create health, and to reveal the nature of the "other side," the place where spirits reside after death and before they are reborn into new selves that retain programming and memories from previous existences. Those familiar with Browne from her television appearances (the Montel Williams Show, Sally Jessy Raphael, CNN, etc.) will recognize her signature, down-to-earth approach to the supernatural ("The closest thing I have to a soul mate on this earth is my granddaughter Angelia.") Occasionally, her relaxed banter grows boring, as when she reveals that her spirit guide, Francine, "adores attention, and it's fine with me, as long as she and I aren't wearing matching outfits, which would look a little too cute for my taste." A listing of 44 major life themes, ways to overcome fear, daily affirmations, and predictions for the next century provide ample fare for readers with a taste for comfortable excursions to the other side.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sylvia browne is a legitimate psychic whose book was great, July 9 2004

This review is from: Other Side And Back (Hardcover)

The other side and back was the first Sylvia Browne book I ever read. I was extrememly impressed, and of course skeptical when I first started reading it. When I read the other online reviews
( the negative ones), I was amazed at the comments. Sylvia Browne has been on many shows, Larry King live, Montel, among others. Her gift has been proven, and she has worked on many police cases when their searches run out of leads (and she doesn't take money, or want money in any of those cases either). Her books, whether anyone believes them or not, only sheds truth about what life is about. She says to take what you want from the book, and leave the rest behind. In this day and age, where some religion teaches taught that you will go to hell if you don't believe, I think it is refreshing that we can have another perspective on things. And I think that's what scares people the most. The fact that there are legitmate psychic's out there who do have a unique gift from god, that don't promote the idea of sin or fear or hell. They are only trying to tell you not to live in guilt, to live in joy and happiness. But of course, be mindful of your actions. We are resposible for ourselves. She teaches to try to understand why the world is the way it is, the pain, the misery, why it gets so hard. That's what I learned from this book. I have an illness, and it's not easy. This book was extrememly enlightening, and like she says, take what you want, leave the rest. She is not trying to push it down your throat. She also gives predictions, and again, psychics aren't 100%, they aren't god, but good ones, are pretty accurate. She has an accuracy way above 70%. Also, psychic's timing of thier predictions can be off as I have read. So for the other comment, about why didn't she mention Iraq, and so forth. She actually predicted 9/11, but she was off about the timing. She predicted it, as I recall, for 1999, but of course we all know it happened in 2001.

Predictions change, b/c we change things when we make a different choice, or so I believe. She does have a newsletter, that releases predictions, and on Montel, they talk about future predictions as well. In case anyone would like to check it out.
But for her book, the Other side and back, it was the best book for me to start with, and I think it would be for anyone as well too. It gave me some answers with my constant battling of health problems. Also, I was lucky to find a legitimate psychic in my city, who believes in Sylvia, who had the same philosophy as hers, but who knew things about me that no one could of knew. I was amazed at his gift. He was 20, only knew my first name, and knew things like my illness, surgeries, siblings, etc. So beleive me, psychics exist.

Thanks.

This review is from: The Other Side and Back (Paperback)

This book has totally changed my outlook on life and death for the better! I no longer fear death and have a more positive attitude towards life. Sylvia is inspiring and her content is easy to follow and makes sense. I found her to be very interesting and intriguing. I really enjoyed this book, it was hard to put down. I have not been much of a reader in the past but I am now! I am reading another one of her books and plan on buying a couple more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Revelation!, Dec 20 1999

By

BME - See all my reviews

This review is from: Other Side And Back (Hardcover)

All my life I was taught that God is cruel and punishing, that a murderer will go to Heaven if he repents, but a woman who seeks a divorce will go to Hell. What kind of God is that? Certainly not one that deserves my worship. In my very cells I KNEW that God wasn't like that, and after reading Sylvia's book, I am finally at peace with my beliefs. Everything she says are things that I instinctively felt since childhood. Instinct. It should have been my first clue. For years, I studied every religious tome I could lay my hands on, seeking the truth, but the more I read, the less I believed. I was completely torn apart, because I had problems believing in much of the Bible, but I knew God existed. Then I read this book, and for the first time, every word rang true. It was as if the knowledge was already there, behind a door, and the book unlocked it. It felt so natural. And best of all, now I know I'm not crazy. Yes, Preacher, I did have a past life, and NO I won't go to Hell because I must pay for the sins of my parents because I wasn't baptized. Sylvia's book explains why there are no coincidences, why I can't walk into an antique store, and why I have knowledge I didn't learn in this life. I no longer fear that my loved ones may go to Hell, nor do I fear death. I am more at peace than I have ever been, thanks to this remarkable woman with God's gift. Thank you, Sylvia! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incomparable.
For starters, I am no fan of the self-help genre. In fact, I have read and analyzed hundreds of self-help books, and this one stands out in a class of it's own - SO MUCH SO - that... Read more
