Title: The channeling zone
First published: 1997
Description: "Neither a debunker nor an advocate, Brown weaves together the opinions and life stories of practicing channels and their clients to bring their world and its assumptions into higher relief. He describes the experiences that lead often highly educated, middle-class Americans to conclude the useful information is filtered through the spirit world. He pursues the nature of the quest - the fears, hopes, and expectations of the seekers - and finds its roots in traditional American notions of individualism and self-perfection. The Channeling Zone is a lively journey into the complex social world of the thousands of Americans who have abandoned mainstream religions in search of direct and improvisational contact with spiritual beings."--Jacket.
