The highly anticipated memoir from the star of the hit series
"Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead"
When Lisa Williams was four years old, she told her parents about
the spirits in her bedroom. Since those first sightings, Lisa has
seen and communicated with thousands of people who have passed
over, listening to their stories and delivering messages of comfort
to the loved ones they left behind.
In "Life Among the Dead," Lisa invites readers into her
extraordinary life, from her childhood in Birmingham, England,
where her grandmother -- also a renowned psychic -- encouraged her
to respect and nurture her talent, to her decision to move to Los
Angeles, where her smash-hit Lifetime television show quickly made
her one of the world's most beloved mediums. Lisa shares memories
of her earliest psychic experiences and her gradual acceptance of
her gift, and recalls many of the amazingly accurate communications
she has shared with believers and skeptics alike. In her
compassionate, down-to-earth style, she reveals exactly what it's
like to live surrounded by spirits every day, and she recounts the
joy she feels in bringing solace to those who have lost someone
dear and the insights she has gleaned about spiritual phenomena,
hauntings, psychic healing, and the afterlife.
Warm, witty, and surprising, "Life Among the Dead" is a
wonderfully intimate account of Lisa's life as a medium, healer,
wife, mom, and TV star who has already won the hearts of millions,
a woman with an astonishing gift for seeing beyond the ordinary and
into a mysterious and fascinating realm.

This thought-provoking study of paranormal phenomena traces the
impact of supernatural beliefs on popular culture and, conversely,
examines the influence of new communication technologies on
research being conducted in the field. Did you know that interest
in UFO research increased during the 1960s as a result of the
Kennedy assassination? Or that America experienced a Satanic Panic
in the 1980s that culminated with the longest, most expensive court
trial in American history? This book reviews the history, economy,
and community of paranormal research in this country, and considers
the deeper meaning behind the philosophies and theories surrounding
the industry. Paranormal Nation: Why America Needs Ghosts, UFOs,
and Bigfoot explores the events that have defined paranormal belief
systems today. From the birth of religious doctrine, to European
witch hunts, to the increasing popularity of the supernatural in
American television programming, the author examines the past and
present conditions that have fueled interest in the unexplained and
considers what this trend means for modern-day America.
"In terms of the written canon of Scripture, the Book of Revelation
is God's 'last word.' Common logic would seem to dictate that a God
who is intelligent, reasonable and articulate would speak 'last
words' that would be easily understood by the vast majority of His
audience. Unfortunately, in the case of The Revelation, the reality
is quite different. For most of the last two millennia of Church
history, Christians have fussed and fought (metaphorically, if not
physically) over the intent, intelligibility and interpretation of
The Revelation. What was given as a source of encouragement, unity
and hope has become a cause of discouragement, division and fear."
In this book, the author presents a series of "portraits" of Jesus
Christ, which are revealed in the successive apocalyptic visions
contained in the Book of Revelation. These visions were not given
to stir fear or confusion but to inspire hope and to give courage
to a young Church - a Church that was struggling with the harsh
realities of living according to the teachings of Christ in the
midst of a decidedly non-Christian world. The author claims that
Jesus is the focal point and central figure of this mysterious and
final book of the Bible. In this manner, he seeks to make the
message of Revelation relevant and reasonable to every reader.
2015 Best Book Award from the Communal Studies Association The
captivating story of the people of Heaven's Gate, a religious group
focused on transcending humanity and the Earth, and seeking
salvation in the literal heavens on board a UFO In March 1997,
thirty-nine people in Rancho Santa Fe, California, ritually
terminated their lives. To outsiders, it was a mass suicide. To
insiders, it was a graduation. This act was the culmination of over
two decades of spiritual and social development for the members of
Heaven's Gate. In this fascinating overview, Benjamin Zeller not
only explores the question of why the members of Heaven's Gate
committed ritual suicides, but interrogates the origin and
evolution of the religion, its appeal, and its practices. By
tracking the development of the history, social structure, and
worldview of Heaven's Gate, Zeller draws out the ways in which the
movement was both a reflection and a microcosm of larger American
culture. The group emerged out of engagement with Evangelical
Christianity, the New Age movement, science fiction and UFOs, and
conspiracy theories, and it evolved in response to the religious
quests of baby boomers, new religions of the counterculture, and
the narcissistic pessimism of the 1990s. Thus, Heaven's Gate not
only reflects the context of its environment, but also reveals how
those forces interacted in the form of a single religious body. In
the only book-length study of Heaven's Gate, Zeller traces the
roots of the movement, examines its beliefs and practices, and
tells the captivating story of its people.
The subject of the afterlife and ghosts is often deemed suspicious
and related more to pseudo-religion, occultism or something equally
distant from science as well as disturbing and ominous. Some people
consider anything that they cannot comprehend or accept to be
impossible while others are convinced that rejecting such problems
makes them intelligent, so that they deliberately ignore them. On
the other hand, supporters of the theory that everything depends on
the brain would explain ghosts by brain disorders, illusions or
hallucinations. However, there are surprisingly many individuals
who have had the opportunity to experience - in a more or less
direct way - the existence of an invisible world and its
inhabitants. In fact, no one can quite sincerely deny that they
exist. There is no point in negating something, just because it
cannot be seen or measured. In this book, the writer relate the
latest findings of physics about the next world and the beings that
live in it. Writer also going to analyse these findings from the
scientific point of view and to describe the spiritual world using
scientific terms. This book will be interesting both for those who
belive in afterlife but need scientific confirmation as well as for
the sceptics who may change their minds after having read this
publication. This book refer to the first publication of Mr.
Tadataka Kimura's book "Truth of soul" published in 2011.
This is the continuing story of James C. Patch and JacobMasterson.
The fi rst book, The Books of James C. Patch: The Barrier
chronicled the adventures of Jacob Masterson as heattempted to
destroy the evil barrier that was preventing spiritsfrom entering
the Utopia on the other side. James C. Patch wasan author living in
the early 1900's when tragedy struck hisfamily when he decided to

Patch was a split-spirit. A spiritthat could split from his body
prior to death and was able tocross through the barrier and see
through his spirit what was onthe other side. While in his spirited
state he noticed millions ofspirits that were not able to penetrate
the barrier. The majorityof these spirits were children who had not
had time to collect alot of memories and those are the spirits that
the barrier preyedupon. Jacob found out that memories were the key
to the rapidpenetration of the barrier and they were able to
connect withloved ones that were already on the other side.
The Book of the Damned has inspired scientists, science fiction
writers, moviemakers, and devotees for almost a hundred years. The
damned data Charles Fort gathered covered so many marvels,
mysteries, and monsters--including unidentified aerial objects,
frog falls, ship disappearances, red rains, earthquake lights, lake
monsters, animal mutilations, psychic explosions, and much, much
more. CHARLES HOY FORT (1874-1932), life-long naturalist and
independent journalist, wrote ten novels, though only one, The
Outcast Manufacturers (1906), was published in the U.S. - critics
said it was ahead of its time, but it was deemed commercially
unsuccessful. Upon his death in 1932, more than 60,000 notes were
donated to The New York Public Library.
The Road to Qua Qua Farm is an inspirational story of a young
couple living on a hippie commune in the early 1970's. Together
with a small band of Hippies from Cambridge, Massachusetts, they
moved to the back woods of Nova Scotia, Canada. The Old Weagle Farm
was over one-hundred years old, run down, and in need of major
repair. This farm would be the ideal place to begin, because it
allowed them to live communally in a healthy environment, free from
the norms, and values they had grown accustomed to. They would have
an opportunity to create, and shape their very own community,
influenced by their own imaginations. No longer dependent on
society to achieve these freedoms, they would learn to live off the
land, barter for things they could not provide for themselves, and
create a new society within itself. They would face challenges they
could never have imagined. Daily living was pushed to the limits
with the absence of electricity, indoor plumbing, and central
heating. Determined to break the mold for the American Dream once,
and for all, their journey led them to this place, and they were
determined to find out why Their Quest was spiritual in nature, and
they would soon discover the dusty road leading to the farm was
just the beginning of a journey to awaken their souls, and satisfy
the emptiness within their hearts. It would be a quest toward the
King and His Kingdom The Road to Qua Qua Farm will compel you to
pursue a journey of discovering for yourself. These true life
stories will inspire, guide, encourage, and help you achieve the
hopes, dreams, and purposes for your life.
Without asking, there can be no answer. "A Woman's Path to Peace"
provides a common background within which the reader can explore
the familiar yet challenging elements of the journey of awakening.
Eclectic yet grounded in the simple ordinariness of an average
middle class lifestyle, this book acts as a bridge between where we
'are' in our humanness, and where the Real World is. Topics such as
pets, kids, and energy healing are explored within the context of
every day life, poignant in its simplicity and raw in its intimacy.
Touching essays are scattered throughout the book to provide the
reader with real life examples of how Spirit reveals itself in the
simplest of moments.
Love Within begins with a story about how humanity was created.
Then, prophecy regarding the path of love and path of destruction
is discussed. The Storyteller then explains how thoughts create and
how to recreate them. Many examples and processes are offered to
release emotional debris (stuck emotions). This story will help
guide humanity out of the unconscious created world into the future
Age of Consciousness and into new heights of love, truth, and
freedom from illusion. It offers you an opportunity to become
enlightened; it will help you remember who you are by simply
realizing there is more to life. There are photographs within this
book in which a sphere (image) was taken without the photographers
knowledge. Jesus states, It is the Light within all things that has
a resemblance of an end and a beginning. Yet, it is over-expansive,
all e-embracing, for if the image were to be inhaled it would fit
within the eye of a needle. Yet, if it were to be exhaled it would
encompass beyond what the mind could conceive, for there is not a
beginning and there is no end to the Light. It is who you are.

"The world has waited a long time for the inside scoop on Roswell.
We need more information from those directly involved, and this
book provides a good deal of important new material."
--Stanton T. Friedman, nucelar physicist
"Jesse Marcel, Jr., has finally set the record straight on his
father's involvement with the Roswell crash. Major Jesse Marcel
recovered pieces of the wreckage and showed it to his family,
including the author, well before the military cover-up that
continues to this day."
--The Paranormal Report
Does extraterrestrial life exist? Have alien beings actually
visited Earth and, indeed, left clear traces of their visits? One
man has the answer...and his son can now break the silence.
"The Roswell Legacy" is the story of Major Jesse Marcel, the
intelligence officer for the 509th Bomber Group (famous for
dropping the atomic bomb on Japan), and the first military officer
to reach the scene of one of the most famous and enduring UFO
events in the recorded history of mankind. This book docments the
recovery of debris from the crash of an extraterrestrial craft and
how the Marcel family became forever linked to the event. It
details what the debris looked like, how it greatly differed from
that of the "weather balloon" that was supposedly recovered, and
the physical characteristics that prove it could have only come
from a technology that was not available in the 1940s (or, perhaps,
even now).
The intent of the writings is to communicate perfectly clear
truths, messages, ideas and feelings not to confuse, because these
pieces were not written for an audience of a select few. They were
written for all God's people to edify every reader. Each verse has
been sung by the voices of the Holy Spirit and the Psalmist which
was received partially or fully in the heart of the Writer from the
Holy Ghost as a gift of love not just for the Lord's ears, the
Psalmist's ears, but for all God's people's ears. Enjoy the sacred
songs and poem.
God came to give messages to a child that "He" did not exist in the
figures of gods and goddesses, which people worshipped around
him.Instead, God explained that "He" existed as a mystery, hidden
from the world, who could not be seen, felt or touched by any one.
Since then the child developed a secret friendship with God.
However, there was an understanding between the child and God that
the child will not divulge this secret encounter with the Divine to
anyone in the outside world. When he stepped into adulthood, God
started revealing Himself in a different way: In the same physical
body two different existences started emerging. One was bound to
the will and ego-bound mind, with whom he could identify himself as
a person, while on the other side, there existed a Divine Being,
who could penetrate the physical state and incarnate in a physical
body - a phenomenon which could not be grasped by the human
intellect. Later in life, as a highly creative person, with wide
knowledge in many fields of science and arts, he grappled to
understand these personal experiences, which defy all scientific
knowledge and reason. The book throws lights on the questions: "Do
these experiences represent a case of a brain damage, resulting in
wrong neural circuitry, which generate the messages of God in the
mind, or does there truly exist God, who is beyond intellectual
comprehension of even a very sophisticated human mind? Without
finding any convincing answer, a nuclear scientist and a
cosmologist, after undergoing intense dilemma and conflicts for
more than fifty years, remains at bay. On one hand this book
reveals a hidden world, which has disturbed, puzzled and created
agony and despair, while on the other hand it has illumined the
mind with knowledge and vision, not accessible through intellectual
process of the mind. It is a story of pain and joy, suffering
followed by profound ebullience of a spirit which is one with the
cosmos and resides in us.
