Amazon.com Review
Internationally known medium George Anderson describes the nuts and bolts--if such a mechanical term can be applied to a spiritual field--of his talent for communicating with departed souls in Lessons from the Light, an honest, full-fledged account of the hereafter. Anderson doesn't call what he does "psychic reading;" rather, he picks up or discerns the messages that souls have for him. His description of the afterworld, and accounts of what happens to us when we die, come straight from his discernment of what souls on the other side tell him. Lessons from the Light carries a comforting message of hope for those who are grieving for a loved one, but it's also a valuable resource for anyone involved in postmortem studies. --Brian Patterson

 This is a good book but............, 2008-11-29
This is a good book, but, with all the back and forth asking and answering questions, gathering info, etc. for me, it is just hard to read. But it is what it says it is.

 A Heartwarming Glimpse Beyond The Veil!, 2008-11-12
I have read so many books on the topic of LAD over the years. And I must say, George Anderson by far is THE best author out there. His style of writing is so refreshing, so comforting and so blatantly honest that I can almost feel the 'spirt' contained within the pages of his books reach out and touch me. When speaking of the discernments he has performed, he takes you places no writer has ever been capable of. Not in my literary travels anyhow. I came across this book in my local library just days after losing a loved one, and I almost felt as if I were drawn to this particular book for comfort and a reason to believe. As I began to browse the beginning chapter, my grief retreated and I was filled with an overwhelming sense of peace until the very last page. I am now ordering ALL of George Anderson's books because if this book is any indication of what a phenomenal author he is, I cannot imagine how I will feel by the time I finish all of his current work.

Hope for the Afterlife, 2008-07-30
This book was a lifesaver after a very dear friend of mine passed away from leukemia. It eased my grief and gave me hope. I encourage anyone who ponders what happens to us when we die to take a gander.

For everyone's library, 2008-07-23
I have bought several copies of "Walking in the Garden of Souls" and "Lessons from the Light" and keep giving them away when a friend loses a loved one; although I've read these books several times I am always eager to replace them with copies of my own again. They are comforting from cover to cover and are my favorites of all the books I've read on this subject.

 A Catholic take on this medium. Comfort & hope? Yes. Messages from the other side? No., 2008-05-20
I should start this review by saying that I am Catholic, and have known all my life (even during my period of atheism) that the Catholic Church teaches it is wrong to dabble in the occult or try to contact the dead outside of prayer. Before I started my study of mediums I went to the Catechism of the Catholic Church to read the official teaching. It is short and not too illuminating. In #2116 we read that "Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone." This is contrary to current popular thought but bereaved Catholics who consult the catechism will find this short statement, in the section on the First Commandment.
They may want more. Grief can overwhelm, and if mediums offer solace then even practicing Catholics may turn to them, since it is in the crucible of pain that we discover just how much we really believe the truths or truisms we have signed on to but not previously examined. Part of maturing, whether in the Faith or in life, is discovering, through trial and error, good and bad choices, just how much we really trust the wisdom of those under whose care we have placed ourselves (our parents, our teachers, our churches) and how well-founded that trust is placed.
I started reading the writings of various popular mediums after a recently bereaved friend, non-Catholic, told me of a Catholic co-worker, active in parish life for many years, who was considering consulting a medium after the death of a beloved child. Fellow Catholics had warned him against this, referring back to the centuries-old prohibition against attempting communication with the dead through occult means. Their warnings seemed insensitive to him, and, grief being powerful, did not deter him from turning to alternative sources of comfort than that he was finding within his own faith community.
Not knowing much about mediums, I wanted to know what kind of occult dangers the various working mediums might lead folks into with their readings. Spiritual entities do exist but not all are benign. A major danger of trying to contact the dead in any way other than prayer is that one might indeed make contact, but with spirits whose intentions are malevolent rather than benevolent.
George Anderson's book seems to me essentially harmless. I don't think he is in contact with spiritual world at all. He is gracious enough to provide transcripts of full readings in LESSONS FROM THE LIGHT, so that one can observe him in action. I believe he is an intelligent guesser. He uses a kind of binary chop algorithm to make progressively better guesses about the dead souls he allegedly communicates with. He claims he is in contact with the dead, and then questions the bereaved, asking them to answer only with "Yes" or "No" to his questions.
Here is a clear example, where Anderson is establishing that the dead son of bereaved parents, who have not told him their son's name, is truly speaking to him:
"Without telling me, do you understand why he says, 'A B C D E,' and then stops? The first letter of his name is beyond the E in the alphabet?"
"No."
"Oh - then it's in that cluster."
"Yes."
"Now he shows me 'A B C' - it's not the A or the B?"
"No."
(Laughs) "Then it's the C obviously."
That's a straight up binary chop methodology.
Is he a charlatan? I don't know. Perhaps he thinks he is in contact. Perhaps, like a character on a recent Ghost Whisperer episode, he has paranormal sensitivity of a sort that he augments in a way that he believes he is truly hearing from the dead.
In between his guessing, he dispenses a large dose of comforting wisdom about bereavement and moving beyond it. If this wisdom sounds more authoritative because it comes from someone who has passed beyond, there's little danger that I can see. He does not appear to be channeling any kind of evil spirits. I wouldn't throw the book away, but in good conscience I can't sell it in my book business.
