NDE: Spiritual Healing - Near Death Experience - Janie Thompson
One thing that often happens with those who have gone through Near Death Experiences, is that they are given an ability to interact with the spirit world. Not just angels and demons, but also what we commonly refer to as "ghosts", the sprits of those who have departed, but for reasons unknown hang around planet earth instead of going to their Great Beyond.
Janie Thompson had a very profound NDE, and when she came back, she found that spirits were communicating with her. Since she had no foundation or training for this sort of things, she did not know what to do about it, and it drover her into becoming a near hermit. Having that ability is NOT a blessing, as you now have an entire other dimension you have to content with, along with your regular, earthly life.
This is a fascinating testimony to listen to.

BOOK: Forever Odd
Sunday, July 29, 2018
Bought this book on Friday, it's book #2 of the "Odd Thomas" series. I listened to the first book on audio, and I'm currently re-reading it in paperback form. Dean Koontz is one very smart man, and is an incredible story teller.
As for what kind of novel these is, it's almost impossible to categorize. Odd Thomas is the actual name of the protagonist, his given first name was, in fact, "Odd." Odd is just a young guy working as a short order cook, but has one very interesting ability: he can see ghosts of the dead, including Elvis. Because of this ability, he can perceive crimes and murders, because some of the ghosts seek him out to bring them justice.
Supernatural crime fighters are nothing new, but a crime fighter who is nothing more than a short order cook with paranormal abilities is certainly not the way these things usually work.
About the book:
"I see dead people. But then, by God, I do something about it."
Odd Thomas never asked for his special ability. He’s just an ordinary guy trying to live a quiet life in the small desert town of Pico Mundo. Yet he feels an obligation to do right by his otherworldly confidants, and that’s why he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death. But when a childhood friend disappears, Odd discovers something worse than a dead body and embarks on a heart-stopping battle of will and wits with an enemy of exceptional cunning. In the hours to come there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope.
You’re invited on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror and transcendence to wonders beyond imagining. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas.
Looking forward to reading this one!
