Spirits Speak: Channeling the Life of Jesus

by Barry R Strohm

Jesus Christ came to the world as the universal energy of God. For twenty-eight years he lived a normal life, experiencing emotions, observing the suffering of people, and even having a married life with children. He was sent to Earth to inform humanity of the one God—but was crucified. Here find in-depth commentary on the life of Christ through the channeled messages of Jesus, the Saints, disciples, and others of that volatile time. Find out how the gospels were selected and how and why the words of Jesus were altered by the church. Learn about soul families and those with his ancestry who are walking the Earth today. Hear warnings that reflect current and dangerous trends, including our political systems, religious beliefs, and interactions with each other. Jesus taught love, and through these messages, we find that his words are still vital to our personal and collective lives in the world today.

What I appreciated most, perhaps more than any single revelation in this book—is that the author never once attempts to coerce belief. And that, for someone like me who has spent decades reading spiritual texts, mystical commentaries, and so-called “revealed truths,” is no small thing. Too often, spiritual literature arrives with a raised finger and a closed fist, insisting that acceptance is the price of entry. This book does the opposite. It opens its hands.

Throughout Spirits Speak, the author repeatedly invites the reader to pause, reflect, and decide for themselves. There is no spiritual arm-twisting here, no demand for unquestioning faith. The underlying tone is not “this is the truth and you must accept it,” but rather, “this is what was received—sit with it, weigh it carefully, and discern with your own inner wisdom.” That posture of humility is exceedingly rare, especially in modern spiritual writing where certainty is often marketed as enlightenment.

As someone who has lived long enough to see spiritual movements rise, fracture, and fade, I found this restraint deeply reassuring. It suggests maturity—not just of thought, but of spirit. The author seems keenly aware that truth, if it is real, does not require force to be recognized. It requires only honesty, patience, and respect for the reader’s discernment.

Ironically, it was this very lack of insistence that made the narrative more trustworthy to me. By allowing space for doubt, the book invites genuine contemplation. By honoring free will, it aligns itself with the very spiritual principles it claims to explore. In a landscape crowded with voices shouting certainty, this quiet confidence stood out. And for an old spiritual book lover like myself, that kind of humility speaks louder than any proclamation ever could.

I came into Spirits Speak with curiosity and a healthy amount of skepticism. What I didn’t expect was how emotionally grounding and intellectually disruptive this book would be. This isn’t a passive read, it demands engagement. Barry Strohm doesn’t ask you to abandon faith; he asks you to reconsider how much of it was filtered through institutions rather than experience. As someone deeply interested in reincarnation, soul evolution, and post-life consciousness, this book felt like a missing chapter to conversations I’ve been having internally for years. The messages—especially from Jesus and Mary Magdalene, felt intimate, compassionate, and surprisingly practical. Whether you believe in channeling or not, the themes of love, humility, and spiritual growth land hard and linger long after the final page.

Let me be clear: this book will make some readers uncomfortable. And that’s exactly why it matters. As a lifelong spiritual reader with a Christian background, I found Spirits Speak both challenging and strangely reassuring. The portrayal of Jesus as deeply loving, human, and focused on soul growth rather than fear-based obedience felt… right. The reincarnation framework didn’t weaken my faith—it expanded it. Melanie featuring this in Unforgettable Reads was a bold move, and I’m glad she did. This book isn’t about replacing scripture; it’s about questioning what we’ve been told to stop questioning.

This book sits beautifully in the space between organized religion and spiritual exploration. I’ve read many channeling books before, but this one stood out because of its consistency and tone. There’s no ego screaming from the pages—just a steady, grounded voice sharing what it claims to have received. The chapters on the apostles were especially fascinating, offering perspectives that felt reflective rather than preachy. Even if you take everything with a grain of salt, the book succeeds in one major way: it reminds you that spirituality is meant to evolve, not stagnate.

Melanie introduced me to this book via Unforgettable Reads, and wow, it blew me away. Barry Strohm’s firsthand accounts of channeling Jesus and the holy spirits resonate deeply with my faith. The depth of insight into soul families, reincarnation, and spiritual growth made me reflect on my own journey. The stories of apostles and biblical figures brought a fresh perspective, particularly Mary Magdalene and Paul. This isn’t just theory; it feels alive and personal. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a contemporary, heartfelt lens on spirituality. Truly transformative.

Our Unforgettable Reads discussion thread for this book was on fire—and for good reason. Spirits Speak sparks debate, reflection, and deep personal questioning. The idea of soul families and repeated lifetimes reframed how I view relationships and hardship. Suddenly, pain felt purposeful. Growth felt intentional. I didn’t agree with every message, but I respected the honesty and courage behind presenting them. This is a book for readers who value dialogue over dogma.

[Cynthia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was raised in church, left it, and later found my way back to spirituality through books like this. The depiction of Jesus here, married, compassionate, deeply invested in human growth, felt more authentic than the distant, untouchable figure I was taught to worship. This book doesn’t diminish Jesus; it humanizes him. That distinction matters. It made his teachings feel attainable rather than aspirational. A bold, controversial, and deeply moving read.

[Diana · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you need absolute certainty and rigid answers, this book isn’t for you. But if you’re open to spiritual inquiry, Spirits Speak is profoundly rewarding. I appreciated how the author repeatedly emphasizes love, free will, and humility rather than authority. The messages from Mary, Peter, and Paul felt reflective, almost like elders offering wisdom rather than commandments. Melanie absolutely nailed the alignment when she brought this to Unforgettable Reads.

[Vivian Rollins · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the most powerful aspects of this book is how fearless its faith feels. There’s no eternal punishment obsession here. No spiritual intimidation. Just growth, accountability, and compassion. As someone who stepped away from religion because of fear-based teachings, this book felt like a safe place to reconnect with God without shame. Whether the channeling is literal or symbolic almost doesn’t matter—the message itself is transformative.

[Tucker Horne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I approached this book as a philosophical exercise rather than a literal truth claim—and it still blew me away. The framework of reincarnation and soul evolution offers a surprisingly elegant explanation for injustice, suffering, and human diversity. The consistency across messages from different figures impressed me. This didn’t feel random or sensationalized. It felt… structured. Intentionally so.

[Bexley Vaughan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve always been fascinated by Mary Magdalene and how history treated her. The chapters dedicated to her were deeply validating and emotionally resonant. She is portrayed not as a fallen woman, but as a devoted disciple and spiritual equal. That reframing alone made this book unforgettable for me. It aligns beautifully with modern spiritual feminism without feeling agenda-driven.
