Please see below a number of book reviews. Anthony has personally read these books and feels that some of these may indeed help with your own spiritual growth, but some books are just a good read.

The book in review is from a fairly prolific author of recent times. There's a Spiritual Solution To Every Problem by Wayne W Dyer is a book that doesn't come along every day. I have read this book several times and the depth and understanding of energy and vibrations and how they interact with and in some cases against each other by the author is inspirational.
Much of the content of this particular book was not new to me, however if you are looking at a good starter book in opening up your understanding of how the universal spiritual force works, and how it can be practically adapted to your every day life, then this is the book for you. It is easy to read and offers practical and informative methods and theory behind becoming a multi sensory human. There is much discussion relating to energy and how to raise and maintain your personal spiritual vibrations.
As Wayne Dyer states in his book Love Harmony and Service is about putting our collective energies toward what we are FOR instead of what we are AGAINST. Thinking is the source of problems. Your heart holds the answer to solving them.The second part of the book looks at the more practical side of using the information the books first sections provide by incorporating the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi and the references to Love and Hate, Forgivness, Faith, Hope, Light and Joy.
I highly recommend this book and endorse the content. It is published by Harper Collins and I believe is still widely available.

This review is of a very old book on mediums. Science in The Seance Room by Paul Miller. This publication is very old, but extremely interesting. This book takes a close look at mediums in the early part of the last century. The content is derived from the miriade of scientific tests that mediums were subjected to in an attempt to prove or disprove the existance of spirit. It is interesting to note that the fisrt line in this books forward reads like this "Spiritualism is the only religion the fundementals of which can be scientifically proved".
At the time this book was published, much of the mediumship work carried out relied heavily on physical phenomena, such as the forming of ectoplasm, table tapping, spiritual writing etc... Modern day mediums rarely practice these methods however it makes for facinating reading. Although the setting around this book is one of a time long since past, the experiments themslves and the conclusions drawn by the scientists involved are remarkable.
A very interesting read for anyone interested in the history of mediumship and the relationship with science.
Science In The Seance Room was originally published by Psychic Press Ltd 144, High Holborn, London. This I would say is a fairly rare book, however may still be available with a bit of hunting around.

Now here is an interesting and controversial book. Bloodline of the Holy Grail... The Hidden Lineage of Jesus Revealed by Laurance Gardner.
Now if anyone has read the Davinci Code by Dan Browne then you will have a little insight as to what is in this book. I found it to be compelling reading and actually raised many more questions than it seemed to answer, at least for me it did. The book takes a very close look at what we have been told about the life of Jesus and his heritage. Make no mistake, this is not a work of fiction and the author was given exclusive access to some of the worlds most exclusive archives, rarely accessed for much of his information.
Did Jesus marry? Did he have children? and if so what happened to his family are just some of the questions posed by Gardner. Although the questions are to some degree answered, at least in relation to the information uncovered by Laurance Gardner's research, the reader is still left with a sense of uncertainty.
It is a very interesting read and to me at least, the conclusions drawn by this book seem to make sense. I am astounded by the shear amount of information in this publication and the research that has gone into it. This is not light reading and does take a great deal of concentration to maintain a connection to the storyline. Having said that, it is a good read for those long summer days.
Bloodline of The Holy Grail by Laurance Gardner is published by Element Books in the UK and is still readily available.

Death The Ultimate Orgasm by Mike Agostini. Despite the name, this is an interesting book. Unlike many books relating to spiritual issues, this book is written by someone who has very little to do with the paranormal or spiritual based work. Infact, Mike Agostini is a rather accomplished journalist here in Australia. This is another reason I like this book, there are far too few books of this nature coming from Australian writers.
This book looks at many broad subjects such as ghosts, after death communication, dreams and reincarnation to mention but a few. Mike Agostini bases his approach to these subjects through the eyes of people he has interviewed and spoken with. Many of these individuals are well known Australians and tell their stories here. The author speaks largely from an unbiased point of view and represents what others have said in an entertaining and informative way, leaving the final conclusions to the reader. It is interesting and entertaining, particularly as it has a distinctive Aussie flavour to it.
Death The Ultimate Orgasm is published by Vaucluse Press and is readily available.

Destiny Of Souls by Michael Newton I found to be a very interesting and informative read. I was first introduced to Michael Newton through his first book Journey Of Souls. The content of this book as with his first looks at case studies of the afterlife, what its like, who we meet there and goes some way to offer explanations to what happens with our souls when we die.
Some of this content I resonate strongly with while other parts find me wanting. Having said that it is the closest thing to a long term study of the afterlife I have found. Through hypnotic regression Michael Newton delves into our Lives between Lives and the dynamics of the world after this. Much detail on the possible way the afterlife is and our souls part in the greater plan. I must admitt much of what I have learnt in the time I have been a medium resonates with this material although not everything.
It is a good book and I would recommend this and Michael Newton's first publication aswell. It is published by Llewellyn and is readily available.

The Beginners Guide for the Recently Deceased by David Staume Described as essential reading for the predeceased, this book is well written and discusses many different aspects of life after death and spiritual theory in general. It is the way the information is presented that perhaps is the point of difference here. The information is presented as if involved in a virtual tour of the afterlife. This book has much to offer in regards to understanding and developing knowledge of lifes only inevitable destination. The author draws much of his inspiration from personal observations and his studies in the field of science and metaphysics. Working as a naturopath and herbalist David Staume has a good understanding of life and death and the world in between. Although much of this is not new information, it is much esier to read and understand than many books on the same subject.
The beginners Guide To the Recently Deceased is written by David Staume and published by Llewellyn. This book is readily available.

Talking to Heaven, written by James Van Praagh is essential reading if you are looking for answers to the mystery that is death and the after life. James is deservingly recognized as one of the worlds leading spiritual practitioners and his easy flowing writing style makes this book a delight to read. The fact that the reading is so easy with this book is a big part of its appeal, unlike so many different spiritual books this is easy to understand and that makes a big difference especially if you are new to this area.
James deals with Life death and grief here and offers a powerful tool in this book for moving forward after loss and offers a deep understanding of spiritual theory.As stated on the cover of this publication this book is filled with hope and enlightenment about our spiritual future, it is a book that will forever change the way you look at death, and life.
Once again a very good book for new comers into spiritual belief.Talking to heaven is published by Hodder and is readily available.

Embraced By The Light : Betty J Eadie This review is based on a book that has been around for some time now. In my opinion, it was one of the first books that was able to really show from personal experience, what happens when you die. At least through the eyes of Betty Eadie. It is a simple and small book that is very easy to read and understand.
The author takes you through her own death experience, but this is much more than just a study of a near death experience. It is moving and very enlightning, a great book for those just starting out along a spirtual path of discovery.
Embraced By The Light is published by Thorsons and is readily available.

Betty Shine: My Life As A Medium. Betty Shine was an amazing person and medium. A medium who, among mediums, is was considered special. Betty Shine had an extraordinary ability to spiritually heal and along with this deliver messages of hope and love from loved ones past.
This book reveals Bettys life and times. At the cutting edge of mediumship in her time, she offers a rare look at her life and the many difficulties she faced and conquered. This is a very well written and altogether inspiring read. A true account of the highs and lows of life as a medium.
This is the third book Betty wrote before her passing and one of her best in my mind. A good read and after reading this I garantee you will be looking for more of her writting. My Life As A Medium may be a little hard to get your hands on but Amazon.com or other good book sellers should be able to secure you a copy. It is published by Thorsons.

Mountains, Meadows and Moonbeams just the name gives the content of this book away. This book is as the cover states a Childs Spiritual Reader. Many of the books available on spiritual subjects are targeted at an adult audience and the spiritual theory and understanding would be much to difficult for a child to read, but also may be quite hard for a parent to share with their child.
Mountains, Meadows and Moonbeams is dedicated to simple, easy to understand language on many aspects of spiritual belief and terms. It is perfect for parents and children and would ideally be suited to children between the ages of 6 and twelve years of age.
The book itself deals with subjects of why we are here, how we all fit into the cosmic plan, meditation and it also deals with things that children may experience, that may seem different or unusual.
The author Mary Summer Rain has written a delightful, easy to read book, full of illustrations. It will help parents nurture the imagination and creativity within children and help children to understand who they are and how they came to be. It will help with understanding psychic information better, it truly is a great book for children and adults alike, it is published by Hampton Roads Publishing Company and seems to be readily available.

Death & Dying by Jan Rowe: Here is a book that deals with the death of a person from a physical perspective. This is a wonderful book that covers the whole process from diagnosis to death. Jan Rowe is a wonderful soul who spent many years working as a registered nurse and this book comes not only from Jan's experiences but equally from Jan's heart.
A book that is a must have for anyone dealing with the imminent loss of a loved one. Jan covers subjects such as pain management, alternative treatments, intimacy and saying goodbye. Jan has managed to deliver a straight forward, self help guide in a compassionate and caring way.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone facing such a difficult time as the imminent loss of a loved one, friend or family member, it will help a great many people.
Death and Dying is available directly from Whispers From Beyond for only $15.00 plus postage and handling. Please phone 08 9724 1881 for details.
