Signs


Book Description

"Laura Lynne Jackson is a psychic medium and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Light Between Us. She possesses an incredible gift--the ability to communicate with loved ones who have passed, convey messages of love and healing, and impart a greater understanding of our interconnectedness. Though her abilities are exceptional, they are not unique, and that is the message at the core of this book. Understanding "the secret language of the universe" is a gift available to all. As we learn to ask for and recognize signs from the other side, we will start to find meaning where before there was only confusion, we will see light in the darkness. We may decide to change paths, push toward love, pursue joy, and engage with life in a whole new way. In Signs, Jackson is able to bring the mystical into the everyday. She relates stories of people who have experienced these uncanny revelations and instances of unexplained synchronicity, as well as those drawn from her own experience. There's the producer whose lost child appears to her as a deer that approaches her unhesitatingly at a highway rest stop; the name tag of an ER nurse that lets a terrified wife know that her husband will be okay; the Elvis Presley song that arrives at the exact time of her own father's passing; and many others. This is a book that is both inspiring and practical, deeply comforting and wonderfully motivational in asking us to see beyond ourselves to a more magnificent universal design"--




I Am Gonna Tell


Book Description

Jane had a pretty good life. She was a single mother, and she worked hard for her three kids. Then she met someone she believed to be the man of her dreams, handsome, gentle, quiet, and kind. Eleven months later, they were married. Soon, her daughter, Michelle began to change; she became distant and withdrawn. Something was wrong, but Jane couldn't figure out what it was. She never thought to look at her husband as being the cause her daughter's moodiness or imagine that it might be somehow related to sexual abuse. Her husband-a young, handsome man with a nine-to-five job, an ex-wife and kids of his own-was nothing like her image of a pedophile.

Brilliant and indispensable.' - Stephen Fry 'Finally, a book about depression that isn't a prescriptive self-help manual. Johnston's deftly expresses how lonely and isolating depression can be for sufferers. Poignant and humorous in equal measure.'
