Looking Beyond: A Teen's Guide to the Spiritual World (Fireside)

I love all his books!

Love all his books

I am a huge fan of James Van Praagh and If you are in your teens and wondering about your psychic abilities then you will find this book very interesting to read.

My mother enjoyed this book

I bought this book but when i read through it I really had my expectations to high, it is really for high school children, did not really get much from it..

Van Prague is a charming (if somewhat camp) man, and his work is always a pleasure to read. He gives you a sense that he writes quite simply because he cares about people deeply, even without knowing them. This book is intended for a younger audience, but is no less relevant if you are fifty or older. The spiritual truths outlined are universal. Van Prague ansers a lot of questions in this book, and this seems to be the same direction his fellow psychic, John Edward, seems to be heading in with his own latest book, After Life. While the books are similar, I would reccommend reading both for a fuller idea of the afterlife. Between them they offer different answers to the same questions and answers to questions the others miss.

Is there a kindle copy???

I bought this book by mistake, thinking that this is for adults but turned out it is a teen's guide. I was going to give it away to a school library, but then decided to read through it. Alas, it is very simplified and summarized book on spirituality without any extra stuff! I've read many spiritual books, including the author's books, but I enjoyed this easy-read book and I'm an adult. I think this is great for any parents for teenager, then to recommend them to read it. This book teaches a teen value, morale, and trust, all generally good subject. Of course if you are open to spirituality, that is.

I am a Special education High School teacher, a hypnotherapist, Past Life Regressionist and like James Van Praagh, a psychic/medium. I have been asked by many parents and clients about their children and the subject of psychic abilities. I have found that many children are frightened by their innate abilities and so shut down or "vale over" denying their abilities. Often, I have heard them describe what most of us adults call "a gift" as a curse. James Van Praagh has written a very child friendly book, explaining a deep, complex and sometimes frightening subject in a very interesting way. If you have a child who shows interest in the field of Metaphysics, this is a good book to give them and you can gain good insight from it too.

Thoughtfully written for kids. Answers many of their questions in a way kids can understand. Thanks James!

I bought this book for my mature 9 year old son who is a crystal child. He has been telling us about his guardian angels since he started talking. I previewed the book before I gave it to him because he's a little young for a teen book. There was only one page in the whole book that I thought was a little beyond him. He absolutely loves the book and it is helping him so much with his abilities. He has started meditating on his own!

This in a great book for anyone at any age. It is designed for teens who are just getting started on their own life, dreams and desires. The rules of life given in this book apply to all of us. I figured out most of the rules on my own but it would have been helpful to have this when I was younger.
