Voices: A Doris Stokes Collection.

[Sampson]

Hi All,
Finished reading this wonderful book yesterday, actually it is a collection of two books in one, the first is called 'Voices in My Ear' and the second is titled 'More Voices in My Ear'.

Both books were absolutely fascinating, I found the accounts of the authors life and the stories about her amazing gift very gripping, the book was very difficult to put down and I finished both books within a week.

From the rear cover are the following descriptions of each book:

In Voices in My Ear, she reflects on discovering this extraordinary gift within herself. Officially informed that her husband had been killed during the Second World War, she was visited at the height of her grief by her long-dead father. He told Doris that her husband was alive and would return, but joy turned to grief when her father re-appeared to warn of the impending death of her healthy baby son: both predictions came true.

More Voices in My Ear recalls how Doris helped the family of one of the Yorkshire Ripper's victims, enabled the late actor Peter Finch to communicate with his wife, and gave hope to the parents of young children who have disappeared in strange circumstances all over the world.

For me the highlight of the book were the descriptions of what the voices had to say, the visions of spirit people, the description of seeing a spirit leave the body of a dying person whilst she was working as a nurse in a hospital, the accounts and stories given when she was put under hypnosis and the conversations that she had with her spirit guide, especially the account of how her guide surprised her by making her have an OBE whilst she was asleep in her arm chair!

Although many of the stories are emotional and heartrending the book is also full of great humour too, one account I found very humorous was when she confronted James Randi on a phone-in radio show back in the late 70's early 80's, really, really funny!

But for me the last chapter of the second book 'More Voices in My Ear' is pure spiritual treasure, I won't spoil this amazing chapter for you, but I would just add that it concerns an amazing account of a beautiful visit to the Astral planes, truly amazing and worth the money alone just for this chapter.

This compilation is 'MUST' reading for any body interested in spiritualism, I could not recommend it enough.

Cheers
