Description

<p>Do angels, ghosts and demons really exist, or are they a figment of our over active imagination? Can ghosts, demons and spirits harm you? If you don't believe in them they can't bother you right? How can you protect yourself against the paranormal? Do we live once and it's all over or do we come back time and again to live new lives? In this book, you will gain information about the paranormal from a psychic-mediums perspective. As a psychic medium I have gathered a lot of information about the other side. The book covers over more than 40 years of paranormal related information interspersed with my own personal paranormal encounters. Anyone who is interested in the paranormal including ghosts, demons, orbs and hauntings will enjoy the many topics covered in this book. Those interested in spiritualism, new age topics and metaphysics will find many of the chapters such as past lives, possession and death and the soul connection. People who are experiencing their own paranormal occurrences such as hauntings and spirit attachments will find help and information to help them. People of all ages, walks of life and many religions will find something of interest in the book. Even those who do not believe in the paranormal will enjoy many of the thought provoking topics covered in this book.</p>

Story Behind The Book

The Broken Saint began with this question: how would Detective Ryan Miner, a serious Mormon, react when he learned that the main suspect in a murder case is a fellow member of the LDS Church? How would it affect his relationship with his partner, Detective Karen Seagate, whose views on whether one Mormon would lie to another boil down to, "If he breathes, he lies"?

<p>With Broken Saint, author Mike Markel demonstrates why he is one of the rising masters of the detective mystery, his easy-reading style and compelling characters pulling the reader from page to page and chapter to chapter.</p> <p>Broken Saint begins with a depiction of murder that is both compelling and revolting and then hands the story to detective duo Karen Seagate and Ryan Miner, both of whom are familiar to fans of this series. Seagate is at her most subdued in this book, having, at least temporarily, contained her inner demons. (I would not expect her equanimity to last for long given her predilection to work outside the regulations.) Instead, it is her straight-laced Mormon partner, Miner, who must confront challenges to his assumptions about faith and his expectations about those who hold positions of power and influence in his church and his community.</p> <p>Throughout, Markel displays the wry humor that is his trademark, depicting weather, people, and institutions with equal measures of affection and sardonic amusement. The Seagate-Miner series has legs, and I, for one, happily expect to see it continue for some time.</p> <p>--Dennis Meier</p>
