How could you not love or agree with Sylvia?! Loved this book which is truly a great read for all Christians. The hubby and I enjoy her writings and appreciate her openness.

I love Sylvia Browne. I first saw her on Montel Williams and have been fascinated with her beliefs ever since. If you have an open mind, or just up for some good fantasy reading, this will be a good read for you.

A very interesting lady. Made me want to develop my own psychic abilities.

Updated Review 4/24/2023
It's amazing what a few years can do. I re-read this book, completely forgetting that I had read it prior. What a waste of a book! I don't know how I so completely ignored all the commercialism of her selling other books throughout this one. This also reads like it was hammered out in 2 days, without thought for if there's any substance here. I was shocked to find my review below on Goodreads. Dropping from 4 to 2 stars.

I maintain that there are a few minor conflicts across her books, but they still resonate and I love her practical, no-nonsense tone. This one has a lot of good merit for it's simple principles and engaging voice.

I choose this book because I have become somewhat interested in the Gnotic Bible and hoped for more information about the Novus Spiritus movement.
However, I'm not sure that I can continue reading many more pages since it seems so self indulgent. It seems to be all about the author.

Not my cup of tea.

This is another of the many books that Sylvia Browne has written, this one emphasizing her spiritual organization Novus Spiritus.

A lot of the book covers material she's covered in other books. Most of the material is what would be termed “New Age” in nature, generally dealing with personal behavior. She is a Gnostic Christian, which is where she differs with the traditional Christian views.

For one thing, she says:

”I cannot understand how, for instance, some so-called Christians can preach about Jesus and then turn around and evaluate others to the point of creating hatred and dissent among humankind...They slam other religions and even churches within the same faith; lambasting Catholics or other Protestant sects; they condemn homosexuality, mixed marriages, certain ethnic groups, and the list goes on and on. How on earth is this Christian? Jesus taught us to love one anotehr, be tolerant and peaceful toward others, and to help one another.”

She is also anti-pornography and doesn't support stem sell research. She believes in Atlantis and Lemuria and that humans, as a species, have only about a hundred years left, although she doesn't say what is supposed to happen to end the entire human race.

She talks about the events of 9/11 and is of the opinion that “...people do karmically come down to create a greater good through suffering. ...Those incredible people didn't die in vain; rather, they were like saints who chose to show us that this country was far too complacent.”

I didn't accept that type of thought when Shirley MacClaine referred to a busload of people that died as having chosen that path, and I don't believe that the victims of 9/11 had decided, between lives, to sacrifice themselves so the US would be less complacent.

She also holds with a dual nature of God, a male God and a female God. I have a problem with this since it's so based on human concepts. Assuming that there are other intelligences in the universe, which it seems likely that there are, it is quite possible that some other arrangement of reproduction could have been devised, and that not every single species of intelligent life in the universe is necessarily divided between male and female. Any Great Maker would have created things for all forms of life, and would not be limited to two sexes just because humans are. I'm of the opinion that the Great Maker is beyond the concepts of male and female, composed of those and perhaps other systems, and that he/she/it/they appear to the species that honors them in a manner which that species feels comfortable with.

Although I find much of what Sylvia Browne writes to be basically good advice, I don't find much in this book that is significantly different from what I've read in other New Age-type books. Also, this concept she brings up about humans having only about a hundred years left should have been developed further rather than just say “we're running out of time” and leave it at that.

Very uplifting book. Shows you that all the seemingly random events of your life are not so random.

I iz ove knjige sam nešto naučila

I've read all her books. She really helped me after a the death of a close family member. In one of her books, she did predict the pandemic...something world wide happening in 2020, but I don't recall which book it was.

Makes a huge amount of sense to me

DOE read this - I love her!!! She is such a wonderful writer! Her books bring peace and enlightenment.
