Lisa Smartt became curious about some of the things that her father said as he was nearing death, and she wanted to find out if they were typical. So she established the Final Words Project (finalwordsproject.org (http://finalwordsproject.org/)) and began a detailed study of the unusual things that people say in the weeks and hours before they die. Her fascinating book, Words at the Threshold, breaks exciting new ground in the field of afterlife research.

The world's most extraordinary experiment in physical mediumship occurred from 1993 to 1998 in the village of Scole in Norfolk, England. Robin Foy was an organizer of the Scole Group, and its meetings occurred in the cellar of his house. He tells us about the amazing events that he witnessed and gives us insights into how the dead teams worked as they experimented with ever better communication between the dimensions.

Everyone talks about wanting to end wars and fighting, but Ivanhoe Chaput is doing something about it! His brief and engaging book talks about the impulse to fight, and about fighting in all its permutations. He helps us understand the problem, and he delivers some illuminating thoughts about genuine mysteries in human history and development. His is the kind of book that you never forget!

Camber Wilson is a very talented medium who has been our guest once before. She is being mentored by Susanne Wilson, the greatest evidential medium now living, and Susanne feels that Camber shows great promise. Here Camber talks about how it feels to be a medium, what those looking to communicate with dead loved ones should be seeking in a medium, how to prepare for readings and work with mediums, and what we reasonably can expect.

Roberta has been discussing our need to separate spiritual seeking from religious dogmas and her preference for the Gospel teachings of Jesus, but different people will resonate with different teachings. Dr. David Low is an expert on the spiritual practices of many religions, and his book, Universal Spiritual Philosophy and Practice, is an enjoyable spiritual shopper's supermarket!

Lifetime afterlife researcher Mark Pitstick is a polymath in this field, having studied with greats as varied as Brian Weiss and Raymond Moody. He now serves as administrative head of the laboratory in Tucson, AZ, where Dr. Gary Schwartz is working to develop the Soul Phone; and he gives us more details about that project than even Gary has been willing to share!

A hundred and fifty years after the Civil War, race relations in the United States remain strained. Black Americans have made too little progress. Roberta and her friend, Kelley Glover, have examined our racial problems through the lens of love, and in The Fun of Living Together (https://www.amazon.com/Fun-Living-Together-Roberta-Grimes/dp/0692846697) - We Must Learn to Live Together as Brothers or Perish Together as Fools (MLK) they propose a plan for healing our racial problems in one generation.

Chuck Swedrock is the head of the International Association for Near-Death Studies chapters in Tucson and in Mesa, Arizona. As is true of many people, his journey out of fundamentalist Christianity and into a closer walk with Spirit was a long one. Now he is an expert on Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and part of the national leadership of IANDS, and he will share with us both his personal voyage and what he knows about the NDE phenomenon.

Joyce Stewart is a counselor and holistic healer who felt challenged by God to throw away the dogmas of her Christian faith and to trust enough to seek and find the genuine God. Her book, God is Love - a Spiritual Journey from Fear to Love, is a beautiful exposition of the kind of glorious journey from faith to certainty that awaits us all.
