The author Dr Jackie Jones-Hunt, in her exhaustive survey of the literature, reviews the mountainous evidence down the ages of personal inspiration and communication from a higher spiritual dimension coupled with its spiritually transformative consequences. It also highlights the tendency and practice of institutionalized religions to reject any experience of personal revelation apart from that which formed its own origin and basis. The book provides a valuable insight into the interrelatedness and cross-cultural nature of spiritual experiences of a higher dimension, both ancient and modern. I feel that the author's extensive research offers a new perspective which could aid the growth of ecumenical and interfaith relations so badly needed in today's troubled climate.

Jackie Jones Hunt has written an exciting and fascinating book by taking some bold steps in her discussions about Jesus as a shaman. Her research and journeys into world religions and the history of mystics leads her in places few have gone. She is suggesting new ways of looking at very old beliefs. I commend her explorations and look forward to seeing where this research will lead us.

This is a remarkable and revolutionary book which sheds a new light on familiar religious traditions. It is comprehensive, thoroughly researched and very thought provoking.

I recommend this thoroughly researched book to all those enquiring into knowledge about life after death. Based on my 50 years of personal experience with Psychoenergetic Phenomena and humans manifesting same, their origin is not in space-time though they yield correlates that have space time manifestations. ... From my personal experiments with these non-space time realms, the physics is real and lawful but it follows rules quite different than those of our traditional space-time physics.

Looks great! It is library material-the information is pure gold. It is really a lifetime reference book. This is a very important book. It is exciting and an astounding shock for many people as it turns the tables entirely on orthodoxy ans shows the mediumistic traits and practices of many eminent spiritual leaders.

What particularly strikes me with this book is the sheer range of topics covered. Not only that the author analyses the evidence for ancient and modern cases of mediumship from an interesting perspective seldom covered. This is definitely an important addition to the existing literature on psychical research.

Dr Jones-Hunt’s book leads us through a fascinating exploration of the main sources of ancient wisdom, from shamans to more recent mediumistic communications. It is comprehensive and highly informative. This book is a valuable tool for all those who wish to reach a holistic view of the meaning of life.

A comprehensive survey of the history of relations between the psychic and the spiritual drawing on a vast range of sources and culminating in an evaluation of the 18^th century scientist and seer Swedenborg.

Although much of orthodox religion looks upon mediumship as the work of the devil, a strong case can be made that messages received through mediumship are the very foundation of organized religion. Jacqueline Jones PhD makes that case, mediumship went by different names in earlier times.

The author Dr J.Jones-Hunt, in her exhaustive survey of the literature concerning the world's psychic sensitives, has gathered together and discussed the most reliable studies made of every type of sensitive...I can thoroughly recommend this book as one of undoubted value to anyone who has an open mind...

This book takes a giant leap towards synthesizing evidential aspects of psychical research with evidence, which would appear to indicate a spiritual dimension. As someone who has researched these matters in a logical manner for over 20 years I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone of an enquiring mind as almost compulsory reading.

It is well written, exceptionally well-researched and offers extensive coverage of mediumship and related psychic phenomena from both a historical and scientific perspective. (Including) an impressive summary of the modern state of parapsychology...Dr Jones-Hunt takes us on a journey through history to decode evidence of mediumship, arguing that not only mediumship is authentic but could be the foundation stone of the religious experience...it is clearly condensed knowledge gained through many, many years of research and experience... a highly recommended volume...one of the only textbooks on mediumship that  combines an academic and scientific worldview with an understanding of spiritualism...

A comprehesnsive and well thought out work, correlating historical and biblical events with modern-day mediumship. A must for the serious student of psychic research.

This is an inspiring book that will enlighten all who have the good fortune to read it. Full of detail and fascinating subjects, Dr Jones-Hunt has surpassed herself in the fluid and absorbing manner in which she captures the reader's attention. This book is a 'must read' for all those studying the paranormal and want to know more. I found it an enthralling read.

I was overwhelmed by the book due to the depth and scope of the research...an encyclopedic foundation stone providing vital knowledge that has been compiled painstakingly by the author. Due to the comprehensive nature of this book it makes life easier for serious students who want to know everything to do with mediumship throughout global history and the science indicating its authenticity.

This excellent book should be read by anyone interested in the many facets of mediumship and, in particular, in evidence for the survival of the dead.

I thoroughly endorse this excellent, original book and recommend it to all to read.

This is a most insightful book which offers extensive detailed research to prove that mediumship is an ancient and on-going phenomenon. It explores the relationship of mediumship and spiritually orientated angelic-spirit communicators of the highest order-throughout the ages and global spiritual philosophies. It powerfully enhances the reader's understanding of humankind's evolving religious/spiritual maturation which still has a long way to go with respect to how we treat each other, other aninals and the planet.

A valuable and original work and a major contribution to the understanding of the complex subject of mediumship. Dr Jackie Jones-Hunt's excellent book is likely to become a foundational resource for all students of psychical research and spiritual studies...A very readable and thought-provoking book which helps the reader understand the "unseen realms" and how like attracts like in these invisible landscapes.

This book is an important contribution to a debate which has continued through the ages: what is the source of "divine wisdom," and is there any difference between the religious visionary and the medium? In an age where religious divides threaten the peace of the entire world, it is more crucial than ever that we try harder to see where all this originated. Placing religious visions into a new context, finding common ground between superficially separate faiths and building bridges between the traditional and the alternative...her well researched and very readable book is recommended...

What I have read is exceedingly good and I am sure will be valued by all who read it...I wish the author every success...and trust that her hard work will be rewarded by the appeal it will have amongst those who are discerning!

This remarkable book presents a vast array of evidence for the survival of all living creatures after death and the incredible mediumship of the world's prophets. The scope and depth of the research is encyclopedic and reflects the enormous amount of work that went into its compilation. I thoroughly recommend this excellent, stimulating, insightful and most certainly 'inspired' book.
