Fascinating Body of Work

This is an excellent book documenting people's encounters with God, spirits, angels, etc. The author has interviewed men and women of all ages, races, religious beliefs, etc. and shows that people from all walks of life have had personal encounters with the divine. Very well written and thought provoking.

Revelations: Predictably Amazing! Steiger Does it Again...Revised Even!

When I first flipped through some of the first few pages of this book, I wondered where Brad was going with it. Was he going to write a book about biblical prophecies and try and link them to past,present and future world events? Was he going to try and highlight modern-day prophets and show how even an "average joe" could predict the future...or was he just going to get some scientists together and make some logical sense out of prophecies, predictions and their fulfillment? Well...it turned out all of these were covered and thensome! Brad Steiger brings together so many experts, gifted people and "ordinary people" together to bring to light what it is that makes prophecies tick and how they have evolved over the centuries. From the holy prophecies of Elijah to the amazing insight of Nostradamus, prophecies are all around us and form the fabric of our society. Brad reminds us how fragile our world is, how important the gifted are and how we can no longer ignore them. If one message pervades throughout this fantastic book, then it would have to be this: BE FOREWARNED. The warnings and messages of hope alike have been coming our way for centuries and if we continue to ignore them, we may be ill-prepared when our time comes...and if Brad's book is a premonition itself...then it appears that we haven't learned our lesson yet.

Just brilliant as ever

It is about time this book came back into print and with such a marvellous cover too. Brad Steiger crafted a genius work with Revelation that explained such a lot for so many people. The work is truly inspirational and reveals the depth of the human psyche and the inner workings in such a way not seen since Carl Jung moved on. Every psychologist on the planet should read what Steiger has written in-order to better comprehend the more paranormal, paradoxical and sometimes pathological aspects of the human machine we call the brain - it does in fact have more to it than we all realize. Excellent work!

***** A Master-Reference on Revelation from a Master-Teacher *****

As a writer myself, I can only marvel at how well this book is constructed and reads as it presents a page-turner of spiritual experiences that are indeed timeless. From the opening to the closing, I could not but be in awe at the overall candidness, the clarity, and the comprehensive manner that Brad Steiger employed as he weaves these tales of truth-seekers into the Big Picture of Reality. More so, I consider this book to be the baseline for all of us that do research into the paranormal realms; it is the gold standard in fact. What a treasure chest to have in one's home library as it will remain in mine until the End Time and, perhaps, beyond! So do yourself a favor and buy this classic that has been reborn to be a collector's item today. It is truly a marvelous work and a wonder in and of itself from a literary standpoint, yet the content is also out of this world, literally!

Mankinds' dialog with a Higher Intelligence has never ended

When this book first came out in 1973 it was a groundbreaking work. It was perhaps the first to bring the idea of continuing communication with a higher power to the attention of the general public. Until this book, the unquestioned assumption was that all such communication had ended in biblical times- and that anyone who claimed differently was obviously mentally unhinged. This book ,however, made a detailed, painstaking study (with personal interviews and case studies) of people in modern times who had experienced the same symptoms of revelation (the Divine Fire.) Steiger interviewed a wide variety of people from respected scholars and churchmen, to everyday housewives and business men, to "Jesus people" and New Age channellers. Then he examined the different types of contact and the different contents of the information recieved. He came to the conclusion that while some of the material seemed to come from conflicting sources, the vast majority appeared to be historically consistent in tone and content down through the ages- a universal theme coming from an outside intelligence. As the book points out early on, why should we think that the era of divine revelation is over? The eastern religious traditions have never made such an assumption. In the Vedic tradition the canon has never been "closed"- it is accepted that valid revelation continues to this day. Only the modern (as opposed to the gnostic) tradition has slammed the door shut in the face of God. And this seems to have been done more in the name of social control and the protection of a bureaucratic heirarchy than for any valid spiritual motivation.
