Book excerpt: Imagine your departed loved one giving you and the world one last message filled with life-altering insight and wisdom. What would it be like to have the whole world read and bear witness to your loved one's life and death experience as told by them from their place in the spirit world? What if our loved ones offered unimaginable clarity, wisdom, and understanding to all of us here on earth? Through their own life experiences and soul perspective, those in spirit try desperately to assist the living by offering wisdom that can lead us back to the path of love and connection. They want to share their stories so that we on earth can live our lives with peace, joy, love, and compassion. They wish to assist us in breaking the cycles and patterns that keep suffering and pain alive in this world, while shifting the collective consciousness to higher levels of understanding. By sharing their stories, they open the path for humanity to do things differently and to understand how every soul has a destiny and purpose on this earth. Speaking from Spirit is a compilation of twenty-five stories told to author RoseMarie Rubinetti Cappiello mostly from spirits that have crossed into the nonphysical realm. This is not a book on mediumship, although the stories were received through a mediumistic channel. These are stories about regular people, their regular lives, and what they came to understand about their life experiences from a soul perspective after they passed. Along the lines of Five People You Meet in Heaven and The Shack, Speaking from Spirit reflects a different perspective, one that comes from more than just hindsight -- it comes from deep wisdom. A very uplifting read. Maybe it is your loved one who speaks to us all.
