There's more to life than this : healing messages, remarkable stories, and insight about the other side from the Long Island medium / Theresa Caputo / 240 pgs.

Theresa Caputo is the star of the TLC's tv show "Long Island Medium".  She works as a professional Medium who is able to channel and communicate with loved ones that have passed on.  In her book she talks about her childhood, which was very loving and normal, except she had some major anxiety and phobia issues.  After she discovered that she was able to communicate with the dead, she realized that many of her problems were from her being so sensitive to energy field and not because she was "crazy".

The rest of the book she talks about her clients and the information that the spirits had passed on to them.  Most of the stories were rehashed from the episodes on the TV show.  So if you are a fan of the show you will either be delighted that you recognized the story she is talking about, or you'll just be annoyed that there is nothing new.  

Theresa says she only deals with positive spirits and will not acknowledge evil spirits.  The advice in the book is all positive, and she says that when your loved ones pass on they are still with you and are involved in your life.  Whether you believe in her gifts or not, I personally love the way Theresa is able to talk with people who are grieving and is able to get them to laugh and feel a little better.  She is truly a light in this world.

Yes, this is Theresa Caputo aka the Long Island Medium from tv.  Her book reads very much the same way she talks on her show.  I don't think that she is faking.  A lot of what she says agrees with observations of others who have had near death experiences or who are also mediums.  She believes that people can come back multiple times and that the dear departed are able to help those left behind.  She does not go as far out as Sylvia Brown,
but there are similarities. 
      I do like that she only channels positive spirits which is probably why she never sees anything negative on her show.  She does go a little into negative energy, but thinks it should be avoided.  Interesting book.
