Society has always been interested in the hereafter and life after death, and John and Martha McGinnis' Straight Talk From Heaven is an enthralling glimpse into the Great Beyond. Mrs. McGinnis' clairvoyant gifts enable her to establish connections with ghosts of the past, and this is the McGinnises' second book documenting their spiritual excursions. For those who enjoyed their first publication, this new work picks up where Psychic Readings With The Thinkers of Heaven left off.The McGinnises are able to channel the spirit of Chief Red Cloud, a Lakota Chief of the 19th Century as their spirit guide, and Red Cloud enables them to make contact with some of the most unique figures in world history. Among these are Teresa of Avila, Francis of Assisi, and Joan of Arc, all of whom were canonized for their contributions to humanity. Goethe and Mozart, two legendary figures in German culture, are included, as well as Benjamin Franklin and Frederick Douglass, both icons of American culture. We can see the direct link between this work and its predecessor as we share the afterworld views of some of the deepest thinkers sharing the strongest convictions on the nobility of mankind.Perhaps one of the more intriguing conversations is with Lytton Strachey, biographer of Queen Victoria, who continues as a writer in the hereafter. His dialogue affirms his beliefs and core values of his life on earth, assuring us that physical love does not come to an end in the heavenly places. Rather, it is superseded by a spiritual intimacy that impacts us far greater than our earthly exchanges. This spiritual impact is a resonant theme throughout the narrative, affirmed by personalities as diverse as Mary Magdalene and Marcus Aurelius. We are encouraged to live life to the fullest and seek harmony in our universe in a way that enhances our eternal legacy.For those intrigued by the supernatural, as well as history buffs and New Age seekers alike, Straight Talk From Heaven is truly a heavenly experience.
