Messages & Miracles: Extraordinary Experiences of the Bereaved

by Louis E. LaGrand

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.
