Amazon.com Adventures of a Psychic might not be the next Indiana Jones sequel, but the "adventures" in the title is appropriate, since Sylvia Browne never stops amazing us with her channeling, psychic visions, healing, and even ghost stories. Coauthor Antoinette Mays biographical talents are first rate, however her third person point of view tends to distance the reader from Brownes story. May compensates for this minor shortcoming by expertly weaving Brownes psychic talents with her personal life, from childhood to grandmotherhood, and grounding the supernatural parts of Adventures of a Psychic in the same sort of mundane problems we are all prone to run into. While reading this book, you may stare with an open mouth at glimpses of a world beyond death, and at the same time discover that we all possess a limitless potential, even if we are not gifted with psychic ability. --Brian Patterson Book Description This is the remarkable story of one womans psychic odyssey. It offers illuminating insights into how we can better understand ourselves and our own psychic abilities.

Thank you Sylvia for being you!, July 1, 1999Re´viewer:A readerfrom New YorkI would like to thank Ms Browne for opening my mind to truth. The second coming of her book really opened my mind to new thoughts and questions. We need more people in our world like Sylvia who encourage us to ask questions, use our minds, and seek the truth. I read this book when it first came out under a different title. "MY Guide, Myself," written by Sylvia Brown. This newly packaged and polished version has a new title, an addition of one chapter, ( I suppose a retrospect of the past 10 years) and an addition of an "e" in Ms. Browns (or shall I say Ms. BrownEs) name. I guess only God and her publicist know the reason for that. Which is my first question. Why the "E"? While it was an interesting glimpse into Ms. Browns personal history, I didnt see any extraordinary situations in her life, aside from her psychic ability. What she claims to be hardship would be in her own words "a hang nail compared to a broken back" I see what Ms. Brown has shared with us as less then a hang nail. Hopefully in her next book she will open up and really reveal the hardships of her life. I recognize the author as a multifaceted individual who at this point is only showing us the tip of the iceberg. Please Ms. Brown give us more of your true self. As a person who also encourages others to use ones own intellect and stay true to ones truth, I am encouraging everyone to read this book and ask questions. Not only of your own spirituality and your own truth, but the truth behind the pages of this gifted, charismatic, spiritual teacher. The questions I have, since rereading the book and the additional last chapter are: If the author is against the Dial a psychic hot lines because they take advantage of poor women in the South, why in Gods holy name is she charging six hundred dollars for a twenty to thirty minute reading? Why does the author charge seven hundred dollars to just the people in New York, and less to everyone else? Isnt there a law against that? What makes charging twenty-five to thirty dollars a minute for a reading any more humane then charging three to four dollars a minute? I would also like to know if the Society of Novus Spiritus has performed studies on the demographics of the people who pay for readings from Ms. Brown? What is the Authors criteria for weeding out the poor disadvantaged souls desperate for answers who are willing to forego rent or food to get a reading from this highly gifted psychic? It would have been nice to have these answers included in your book. I also want to comment on what I consider to be a display of total insensitivity on the part of the author in adding the additional chapter. While she mentioned she was supporting twelve members of her staff and fifty ministers, and lives in a constant state of thankfulness - what possessed Ms Brown to omit a thank you to the countless people who have stood by her side, toiled extreme amounts of hours, made Sylvias organization their number one priority, have been her back bone and support for this "magnificent obsession" for years? For a spiritual Society whose motto is "loyalty, gratitude and commitment," shame on you Sylvia, for such a blatant oversight to the people who are supporting you. Hopefully in your new book which I cannot wait to read, you have taken care of this tremendous omission. Thank you for your gift. May you continue to help others on their journey of truth and enlightenment. You have definitely helped me. Please continue to send your message of love, truth, using ones mind, to be a leader, and question all things that do not ring true to our hearts. And most importantly to walk the talk! Bless You!Was this review helpful to you? Inspirational-relief-confident-positive-motivational, January 27, 1999Reviewer:Nardom98@aol.comfrom USAIve read her new book and Im not one for reading I have a short attention span. It was great. Ive also recieved her cassesttes that you offer I shared them with friends/aquaintances and they were really amzazed because everything makes much more sense with the way things happen. I watch Sylvia on Montel ever opportunity recently she did a reading for me over the phone "wow" shes amazing. I cant wait to go to her lecture in Philadelphia and plan to attend her salon. She has really put me on tract and Ive heard alot of motivational speakers that were good but never did I follow through on anything they told m´e to do. Theres something about her thats different. Make sure you order her books,tapes and attend a lecture. Shes a amazing individual.. . . .Read More
