Thus begins chapter one in The Ghost Who Would Not Die by Linda Alice Dewey. Ms. Dewey is a unique author in that the stories she tells do not come from her imagination; rather, they come from the spirits who lived AND died.
Impossible, you think. Well, as a paranormal investigator, I believe it is possible. My journey with Ms. Dewey began with her first book, Aaron's Crossing. This story was also a tale communicated to Linda from a spirit. It talks about Aaron's life and death and gave wonderful insight into the afterlife. Being such a huge fan of Aaron's Crossing, I couldn't wait until The Ghost Who Would Not Die became available. Not only do I enjoy Linda's style, I was also looking forward to the added insight I would gain. I thought of that insight only in terms of the paranormal knowledge I would obtain. What surprised me the most: I gained so much more.
Although The Ghost Who Would Not Die is about the afterlife, i.e., the dead, I learned about living from this book. Jacobs, the runaway slave whose story is being told, advises the living throughout the book on the best ways to live your life and to insure that your afterlife runs more smoothly than his did.
I realize there are skeptics in the world who will believe the book is entirely a work of fiction. That's fine. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, this book is an interesting read, and I defy anyone to walk away from it without having gained something they can use.
I wholeheartedly recommend The Ghost Who Would Not Die. From the time you meet Jacobs to the time you finish the book, you will be engrossed in every detail. If you open your mind, you might learn about one possibility with regards to the afterlife. More importantly, I'm hoping you will take with you LIFE lessons as well. I know I did.
"People think it ain't at all the way the Lord promised. But you know, that ain't true. It's exactly what He said--it just ain't the way you took it."J. Johnson
Open your mind, read this book, and enjoy it as much as I have. I leave you with my favorite quote from Jacobs..."I used life, but never made use of life. That's the problem."
