Forgive me, this is the first review I've ever provided on a book online. So, just go ahead and excuse me for anything I say that isn't perfect in substance and structure.
I felt connected to Sylvia Browne on an early book (From the Other Side and Back) and have read others, not all. However, when browsing choices at B&N, felt this would be "interesting". In particular, I wanted to see how other religions viewed the "Creator".
My filters of a Christian in the Lutheran tradition have been muted over the past decade to embrace warmly others of all traditions. Of course, I have questions and challenges because my own faith journey has it's purpose and mission. However, I have friends of other faiths and this edition was so "affirming" of how we can better interpret others' perspectives and even "jading".
I find God, the Father a loving one. Much more than a mean, destructive, consuming God. I just find Browne a "breath of fresh air" in the American din of religious "telling you what to do", rather than "doing what we are taught and shown by His Son".
One day, I hope we learn to capture the love and service of WWJD rather than the contemptable judgementalism that pervades our faith. However, that exists in some other faiths too.

This book answered many questions I have had about God, history of religion, and why things are the way they are. Sylvia explains everything from early Christianity to how God always interacts with us in our every day life.

Overview
From FATHER GOD Coming from what I like to call "the Divine Sparkler," we're each sparks of the creative force of Father and Mother God. You see, if we have two sides to our brain, male and female, it's the same with the mirror of creation. Our solid, static Father is the co-creator and is all intellect; while our Mother is the emotional, active, and we could say "interfering" God Who makes miracles in our charts (the "blueprint" that each of us chooses and designs for every life we live). We needed to have the intellect to pick our charts, but most feeling was left out - after all, if all the emotion in life seeped in, we might not be so inclined to go back to Earth for another round. God the Father helps us mold our
