While still in her tender and formative years, Marilyn Raphael had her first memorable psychic experience. Since then, under the guidance of her spirit teachers, she has worked hard to develop her gifts and has grown into a full trance medium.

A compelling, candid portrait of a modern psychic medium, Angelic Force describes the many challenges Marilyn faces in her work and describes the many ways she has touched and changed people s lives by bringing messages from the other side and by teaching others to open their minds to their own psychic abilities. Without appealing to religious terms or mystical doctrines, Angelic Force helps us clear our confusion about the spirit world and encourages positive thinking toward the various psychic phenomena in our daily lives.

Marilyn's spirit teachers are her angelic force---angels without wings. They include James, a brother of Yeshua; Eileen Jeanette Garrett, one of the most respected medium in the twentieth century and founder of the Parapsychology Foundation in New York City; June, a Chinese medicine woman from the 1500s; and Ernest Miller Hemingway, the renowned twentieth century American author. These spirits have enriched Marilyn s life in a way large and small, and helped her to enrich the lives of others.

From the Publisher:

An Ordinary Woman, An Outstanding Medium
In their book Angelic Force: A Modern Medium’s Communication with the Spirit World, Marilyn Raphael, a full-trance medium from Florida, Sheree Wu and Victor K. Chu, PhD, a Chinese couple form the Silicon Valley, honestly portray Marilyn as not only a world-class medium, but also an ordinary woman.

Like most people learning a skill, Marilyn experienced growing pains while developing her gift. Like any successful person, Marilyn exercised her strong determination in maintaining a daily 2-4 AM automatic writing with her control entity, purported James, for twenty-five years. Like any woman sharing life experiences with her girl friends, Marilyn went clothes shopping with the spirit of purported Eileen J. Garrett and grocery shopping with that of June. Like many people struggling with the personal relationships, she grew from the experience of trying diligently yet awkwardly to write for the spirit of purported Hemingway. Like any bereaved person, Marilyn, though a medium, still had a hard time parting with her own dying mother and misses her tremendously after her passing.

On the other hand, Marilyn appreciates being a medium: "My interaction with the spirits has given me fascinating experiences with others in both the spirit world and the physical world. From the living people in the modern world to whom my spirit friends have guided me, to the spirits of everyday people who lived long ago and the spirits of those who were close to me in this life—each of these encounters is like a miraculous nutrient, which makes my life fuller and richer, like rare dye that keeps my life always colorful."

Besides Marilyn's first-person narration, Sheree and Victor depict their own experience with Marilyn. They guide the readers to their first encounter with Marilyn. Her accurate delivery of Chinese names and words from the deceased family not only shocked the two, but also fascinates the readers from the very beginning. Marilyn’s séance vividly shows that life does not end with the physical death, and love can surpass the boundary of physical demise and the language barrier.
