A Must for Any "Crossing Over" Fan, August 18, 2001
Reviewer: A reader from Virginia - USA
John Edward's personality shines through in his new book "Crossing Over: The Stories Behind the Stories." Readers of his first book, "One Last Time" will notice a bit of a shift in content. "Crossing Over" is chock-full of information about John's path into the public eye as opposed to the consecutive chapters of readings "One Last Time" contained. More importantly, it is written in a fashion that allows the reader to understand "at what price fame" and enables them to see that no matter where you are in your spiritual growth, there is always something new to learn and experience.

If you have been watching "Crossing Over with John Edward" on the Sci-Fi Channel since the first episode aired, you will be familiar with many of the readings mentioned in the book and enjoy the extra background. They are distributed throughout the narrative of his journey from everyday psychic medium to his present status of world-wide acclaim which the show has brought to John and his message.

This book is a MUST PURCHASE for any fan of John Edward or his show. It is full of behind the scenes information and gives a history of how "Crossing Over with John Edward" came to be. In addition, John shares his invaluable spiritual insights and infectious humorous sarcasm. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and when you get to the end you'll be looking for the new release date of his next book.

If this is your first visit into the realm of John Edward's works, I recommend you purchase "One Last Time" as well and finish it before delving into his latest work. "Crossing Over" is a little heavier read due to the nature of material discussed, such as the Leon Jaroff incident and other negative media events John has been faced with. [Note from Reviewer: The March 5, 2001 issue of Time Magazine tried to pass off an article by Leon Jaroff which was an obvious plagiarism of an "Inside Edition" segment on John Edward almost word for word.]

Thank you, September 19, 2001

I would like to thank John Edward for sharing how the TV show "Crossing Over with John Edward" started. It was very interesting to know what he went through to get to the point he is at now. The stories he shared were great. Thank you and God bless.


Crossing Over the Atlantic, September 22, 2001
Reviewer: HM Baggott from Bournemouth, Dorset United Kingdom
Having watched John's show on cable, I have found him to be inspiring. This book is everything his shows are - genuine and to the point. It shows a side of the medium few are fortunate to discover. The narrative is strong and the words echo John's commitment and strengths. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough.
