Droplets of God: The Life and Philosophy of Mavis Pittilla
“Make them go away!” This was the immediate reaction of young Mavis Pittilla when people from the spirit world began appearing unexpectedly in her home. One of these “spirit people” delivered a message that would ultimately save her life. Still, she wanted nothing to do with these visitors and sought help from her local Spiritualist church. There she learned to embrace these new experiences, opening her to a lifetime of service that has spanned continents. World-renowned and universally respected and beloved as a medium and teacher for over fifty years, Mavis Pittilla remains modest and humble. The story of her life reveals a multi-faceted, endearing woman who has overcome tremendous adversity, much of it caused by her own human frailties. Droplets of God is far more than Mavis’s fascinating biography. It is a primer of the foundations of mediumship, the key philosophical teachings of Spiritualism, and of the soul’s journey of self-realization.

About the author
Suzanne Giesemann
55 books112 followersSuzanne Giesemann is the author of eleven books, a metaphysical teacher, and an evidential medium. She captivates audiences as she brings hope, healing, and comfort through her work. Suzanne’s gift of communication with those on the other side provides stunning evidence of life after death. Touted as “a breath of fresh air” with “a quality that is so different from others that it is difficult to describe,” she brings messages of hope and love that go straight to the heart.
Suzanne is a retired U.S. Navy Commander. She served as a commanding officer, as special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations, and as Aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 9/11. Today Suzanne addresses questions about the purpose of life, the nature of reality, and attuning to higher consciousness. Her work has been recognized as highly credible by afterlife researcher Dr. Gary Schwartz, Ph.D., and best-selling author Dr. Wayne Dyer. She serves on the executive council of Eternea, where she is the chairman of the Spirituality Leadership Council and is a member of the Advisory Council of the Academy for Spiritual and Consciousness Studies along with such notable leaders as Raymond Moody, M.D., Jean Houston, Ph.D., and Larry Dossey, M.D.
When Suzanne first began researching and writing the Hay House published book, The Priest and the Medium, she never dreamed that she would one day connect with the unseen world herself. After years of meditation, however, she began to have her own intuitive experiences, which led her to several classes on mediumship and to an intensive course at the respected Arthur Findlay College of Psychic Sciences in Stansted, England. Her eye-opening experiences there allowed her to develop her contact with the unseen world to the point where she now gives private readings, connecting people with their loved ones who have passed.
Her experiences with inspirational writing and inspired poetry are published daily on her blog, www.SanayaSays.com. The story of Suzanne’s transition from Navy Commander to her current work as an intuitive counselor is chronicled in her memoir, Messages of Hope, which is featured in a documentary by the same name.

Incredible book about an AMAZING and gifted woman.
I am so thrilled that Suzanne wrote this book about Mavis, her life and most importantly the evolving of her amazing gift, given to her by "the god source".
I've met/been at workshops that Mavis has taught at, and I can honestly say she is the most connected Medium I have ever met. I am blessed to have been trained in mediumship by top teachers who were originally trained by her.
This book is a must read for anyone being trained in, considering or works as a medium.

Inspiring Memoir of a Legendary Medium
As someone who has just started her journey into mediumship development, I am so grateful to have discovered Mavis Pitilla so early on. She surely sets the tone for the level of integrity every medium should strive for, and carries a depth of devotion and service to God and the Spirit world that is so refreshing and needed in our Universe. Thank you so much Mavis for everything you have done, and what you continue to do for us on the other side. We love you so much!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not sure how I came across it… but so glad I did; I’ve just bought another by the same author.
Not just an interesting biography in its own right; the author did an amazing job of capturing and explaining what is means to be psychic and medium. I’ve never come across anything that explains the mechanics so weak: like, what do you mean you can see spirits; what can you see? She answers.
I read this book quickly and enjoyed picking it up. There were a few bits throughout that were a little waffly but not in a dealbreaker kind of way.

A gift
I always enjoy Suzanne Giesemann's writing immensely but this book was particularly appreciated due to my curiosity about mediumship. I am inspired to learn more about Mavis Pittilla's work given her journey, her leadership, her ability to so clearly explain how to connect with one's soul and her skill at doing so herself. This book felt like a gift to me. Thank you Suzanne and Mavis!

I wanted to know more about people who are mediums, so I thought this book looked interesting. It was not.
The writing style was extremely dry, and that is too bad, because Mavis had a very interesting life. I think the author should have decided between actually writing a biography and touting the Spiritualist religion. Each to their own, but spare me.
I do think if one is adamantly a Spiritualist, they might enjoy this book.

As a Spiritualist who grew up reading Doris Stokes books I loved this book.
I was recommended this book and I am so glad that I have read it.
Mavis Pittilla has led an interesting and transformative life.
I especially enjoyed reading about her values and ethos. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy Spiritulaism/Clairvoyance.

Self promotion late in life is my take on it.
I was disappointed in this. It’s a self promoting biography by an author who’s been hired by several other spiritualist mediums so I guess not surprising. I’d rather read books written without a marketing focus and a ghostwriter involved no pun ;-)

This got my soul’s attention!
What a wonderful read! I couldn’t put it down and am ready to reread it again soon. Thank you Suzanne for this wonderful insight into Mavis’ life and our own soul that wants to be released and lived as it truly desires.

Mavis had a very interesting life but unfortunately, the writing was very dry, choppy, and lifeless. Because of this, the book lacked feeling, and at times was on the boring side. Overall, it gave me an understanding of her life which was the minimum I was hoping for.

So full of key information
I bought the kindle version and read every word in one day, I couldn’t put it down, so much insight about Mavis, but also about what mediumship is all about. Thank you Mavis and Suzanne.

Shallow details
They went here and there. She admired her teacher. She was nervous, but it went ok. She became a medium. Boring details.

Beautifully written account (by a talented medium) of a such a simple yet purpose-filled life, facing every fear to serve the truth of her soul and those in spirit. Really enjoyable.
