Synopsis

Discover the miraculous and spiritually healing power that can result from communication with deceased loved ones, when you read Messages and Miracles by Louis E. LaGrand, Ph.D.

A companion volume to his previous work, After Death Communication: Final Farewells, this book examines after death communications (ADCs) more closely, and becomes a vital tool for ministers and counselors who help people in the grieving process.

Messages and Miracles is the result of questions people have asked him since the release of his previous book. It is based on his counseling experience and interviews with people who have had contact with a deceased loved one.

In Messages and Miracles, you will learn how to tell whether an ADC is simply the stress of bereavement or an authentic communication. You will be able to share how it is possible to establish a new relationship with the deceased and talk to children who report the experience. Actual accounts of ADCs that have never before appeared in print are shared.

Messages and Miracles answers a hundred important questions. The author has organized the questions and their answers into six categories:

·The Nature of After-Death Communications
·Origins and Causes
·Types of Experiences Reported
·The Experiences and the Messages
·Positive Influences
·Helping the Person Who Has an ADC

Among the questions answered are:

·What does the typical apparition look like (as reported by the bereaved)?
·How do ADCs change the lives of mourners?
·What types of messages are received?
·How do you know if a dream is an ADC?
·Can a mourner initiate the ADC contact?
·How should you respond to a child who reports an ADC?

The compelling, true-life tales of many people are included. With the answers to these questions, you will be able to bring comfort to the bereaved and have faith in the knowledge that the spirits of those we love continue. You will find Messages and Miracles a book that fills your heart and soul with love and hope.

About this title

From the Publisher

The loss of someone we care about always hurts, primarily, because we can no longer spend time with that person, but it also points out what appears to be our own, unknown future.

Thankfully, there is hope. If we can communicate with those we love and who are no longer here, it means that they, in some way, still exist. That means we will go on, too. This is the secret you will find revealed, with documented proof, when you read Messages and Miracles by Louis E. LaGrand, Ph.D.

This book is filled with joy and hope. It points to the future. As such it becomes a vital tool for anyone who is either grieving or who offers help to those who grieve. The compelling personal stories of the way real lives have been changed as a result of After Death Communication (ADC) will fascinate and thrill you.

You'll learn the difference between ADCs and guided imagery or hallucinations. You'll discover the different types of ADCs, from seeing an apparition to sounds or smells or symbols. Explained are how ADCs change the lives of mourners and the types of messages from the deceased people receive through dreams. You'll also learn how the ADC experience has helped so many get past their grief and how it sometimes changes a person's world view and creates positive spiritual changes.

Messages and Miracles should be required reading for everyone.
