Why am I passionate about this?

My name is Jeannie Reed. I was an executive for many years and, for many years, an editor and a professional psychic in concurrent full-time careers. Eight years ago, a spirit started making itself known in my apartment in New York City. He's still here. This spirit's presence is not unusual. What is unusual is that he communicates by drawing. Drawings anybody can see. This man died in 1920. I had zero interest in him until now, though I had heard of him, a great artist, Amedeo Modigliani. I am not soft-minded. I doubted this whole thing for a year. Until finally, it was unavoidable.

The books I picked & why

Book cover of The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything

Jeannie Reed Why did I love this book?

I love this book because it's written by a modern scientist looking to understand something outside science. Dr. Kaku is a pioneer in quantum physics. His career-long focus has been string theory. (We are all connected by "strings" of energy.) When he and his colleagues started out, this kind of physics was ridiculed.

Now, we're building impossibly amazing computers based on quantum. So, Dr. Kaku is a pioneer in the quantum world, and now he's looking there to be able to describe God in an inch of mathematical formula. So exciting! And written in a down-to-earth style even I could understand.

What is this book about?

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER ā€¢ The epic story of the greatest quest in all of scienceā€”the holy grail of physics that would explain the creation of the universeā€”from renowned theoretical physicist and author of The Future of the Mind and The Future of Humanity

When Newton discovered the law of gravity, he unified the rules governing the heavens and the Earth. Since then, physicists have been placing new forces into ever-grander theories.
 
But perhaps the ultimate challenge is achieving a monumental synthesis of the two remaining theoriesā€”relativity and the quantum theory. This would be the crowning achievement ofā€¦


Book cover of Another Door Opens: A Psychic Explains How Those in the World of Spirit Continue to Impact Our Lives

Jeannie Reed Why did I love this book?

This book is a great introduction for anybody interested in learning something about the spirit world and its interaction with us every day.

The author is a fine medium who has been talking to "dead people" since he was a little boy. He is honest, ethical, and compassionate. And the book is written not to push, just to explain. To share. It was the first I read on the subject, long ago. It started to matter in my life eight years ago. I'm grateful for it.

What is this book about?

Book cover of Life After Life: The Bestselling Original Investigation That Revealed Near-Death Experiences

Jeannie Reed Why did I love this book?

Dr. Moody spent many years researching near-death experiences. This book is a classic on the subject. It discusses death, after-death, and attitudes about dying...all from the most positive point of view. If, in a near-death experience, people report seeing and talking to long-deceased loved ones, and all in the same way, how can life simply stop at the grave?

Dr. Moody's courageous research helped launch an entire movement. So much is known now that wasn't known before about death, no longer the ultimate experience. Just a quick stop on an enormous journey!

What is this book about?

In this smash bestseller that has sold more than 14 million copies around the world, Dr Moody reveals his ground-breaking study of people who experienced 'clinical death' - and were revived. Their amazing testimonies and surprising descriptions of 'death' and 'beyond' are so strikingly similar, so vivid and so overwhelmingly positive they have changed the way we view life and death, and the spiritual hereafter. Introducing the revolutionary concepts of the NDE (Near Death Experience), the bright light and the tunnel, Life After Life has shaped countless reader's notions about the meaning of the death and offered essential reassurance toā€¦


Book cover of Children Who Remember Previous Lives: A Question of Reincarnation

Jeannie Reed Why did I love this book?

Dr. Stevenson was the founder and director of the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. In the course of his work, he started to encounter very young children who reported details of lives they had lived before. Many, many young children. Rather than dismissing the stories as fantasy, he started paying attention when he realized many of the stories were provable.

He spent decades traveling the world, finding and talking to the children who remembered. (Since his death, Dr. Jim Tucker has continued the research at UVa. His own work is totally worth a read: Life Before Life: Children's Memories of Previous Lives.)

By Ian Stevenson,

Why should I read it?

1 author picked Children Who Remember Previous Lives as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

The concept of reincarnation has been around for thousands of years, and is a part of many religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. In addition to these religious beliefs, many people believe it offers an explanation for the mysteries of life. There are children that claim to remember previous lives as adults or even animals. These claimed memories might affect the development of the child and be incorporated into the child's personality.

This book presents an in-depth look at Dr. Stevenson's forty years studying children who claim to remember previous lives. It is an informative, professional read that dispelsā€¦

Book cover of The Story of Edgar Cayce: There Is a River

Jeannie Reed Why did I love this book?

Edgar Cayce was the first great American mystic. (There may be another, but I sure don't know about it!) This humble, uneducated man would fall asleep and diagnose illnesses and prescribe cures for people who didn't even have to be there with him.)

He talked many times, at length, in sleep, about the unknown life of Jesus, about the soul, about his own memories in Ancient Egypt and before. He was consulted by thousands for questions from the mundane to the earth-shaking. His sons have accumulated every word of the millions he spoke, and these are in books open to the public at their Association for Research and Enlightenment (ARE) in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

What Cayce did is SO astonishing; I couldn't put this book down. And then I read every other word I could get my hands on (books compiied and published after his death).

The Afterlife Book: Because You Never Got a Chance to Say Goodbye

By Jeannie Reed,

Book cover of The Afterlife Book: Because You Never Got a Chance to Say Goodbye

What is my book about?

My book resulted from my attempts to understand what has been happening in my life for the past eight years. To try to figure it out, I used science, religion, art, culture, philosophy, and the stories of some of the many ordinary people who have known the same kind of "miracle" and are willing to talk about it. 

It turns out we are surrounded by spirits every day of our lives! I wanted to know how this can be. I wanted to "get it." I wasn't sure when I started out, but three years later, research done, I'm pretty sure about what's happening here, and how. (I just wish I knew why!)
