📝 Description: Amazing Power of Animals

Gordon Smith is renowned for delivering powerful messages to people from their loved ones on the Other Side. But very often it's not just human friends and family members who come through--the animals that have been so close to us in life also continue to visit us after death. There have been many times when Gordon has given readings to clients about the loss of those very close to them, but these individuals can't "hear" the message because pain has closed them down. However, when animals turn up, the barriers just dissolve, and these people can accept the truth of the information that Gordon is relaying to them about their loved ones. In this extraordinary book, Gordon tells these heart-wrenching stories, presenting some of the amazing encounters that people have had with animals in the spirit world and here on Earth as well, including Gordon's own experiences with his springer spaniel, Charlie. This book is full of astounding personal accounts that are a great testament to the power of animals and their unconditional love for us!

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Smith delivers an emotionally resonant collection that prioritizes comfort over rigorous empirical proof. While the anecdotes regarding pets as intermediaries are touching, skeptics will find little here to satisfy rational inquiry. The text lacks academic depth, relying instead on personal faith and anecdotal evidence typical of mass-market spiritualism. It may disappoint readers seeking historical analysis of animal spirit lore or those who prefer detached, philosophical occult studies. However, for the grieving heart open to intuitive guidance, it offers genuine warmth. The writing is accessible but occasionally repetitive in its thesis. It suits those ready to accept unconventional comfort rather than critical thinkers demanding logical consistency.

Good addition to the shelf

I keep coming back to this one. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.
