Story
People who are not in the habit of talking with the dead have a hard time imagining what Matt Fraser’s life is like. Based on the questions he gets, they seem to think he spends most of his time sitting cross-legged in a trance, maybe hovering a few inches off the ground, leaving his physical body behind as he journeys across the veil to the spirit realm. But it’s not like that at all.

While mediums sometimes resist the flow of communications they receive from the "other side", the best of them - like Bill Philipps - know what solace such messages can provide. The truly gifted also know that their gifts are not unique, that they can be cultivated by anyone with a sincere and open heart. Philipps illuminates all of this for listeners by demystifying what he does, sharing more than 20 inspiring stories of people receiving signs, and, most wonderfully, by providing step-by-step guidance that allows listeners to receive afterlife communications themselves.

James Van Praagh is a spiritual medium - someone who is able to bridge the physical and spiritual worlds. Unaware of his spiritual gifts until he was in his 20s, he slowly came to terms with his unique abilities. In addition, many of his sessions with grieving people who came to him looking to contact the spirits of deceased loved ones are explored. From a devastated mother recieving a message of hope from her deceased little girl to communicating with a young man, killed in Vietnam, who doesn't realize he's dead, the theme of hope and peace in the afterlife is affirmed.

Far superior than any other book in this genre!!
Messages from Above by Monica the Medium is without a doubt the most incredible book I've ever read or listened to on this topic. And trust me, I've read more books on mediumship and the afterlife then I could count.
Another reviewer mentioned similarities between this book and a few others written by mediums and I have to completely disagree with them. I imagine that any similarities are mere coincidence.. or could just be that the spirits have communicated common messages and lessons to these mediums that they want the medium to go on and share with all of us regular folk! Not to mention, mediums probably share a lot of common experiences when it comes to the trials and tribulations of having their gift and how it all works. Yes, there are many other books that also delve into signs from Heaven, the afterlife, spirit guides, and whatnot.. just like there are a million nutrition books that all talk about the importance of drinking enough water or not eating a diet consisting of only junk food. When you're reading many books within the same genre and written by authors with the same skills or expertise, there will always be some overlap.
But I think what sets this book apart from all the others is how Monica explains her gift, her work, and her experiences as a medium in the most relatable, compassionate, easy to understand, and down-to-Earth way possible. I personally feel like Laura Lynn, Kim Russo, Theresa Caputo, Tyler Henry, and many others seem to have a bit of an ego and it reflects in their writing...they tend to come off as braggy or know-it-alls whereas Monica comes across as very genuine (also, her audiobook delivery is FAR better than many of the other others who sound completely monotone or who lack any passion in their voice). Monica's book is also the first I've read to really dive deep into the ethics of mediumship and she stresses to her readers more than once how they don't need to see a medium to connect with their loved ones. I also loved her clementine analogy which I had never heard before (the way she explains reincarnation is a bit different than what I've read in other books, but her explanation has absolutely resonated with me the most). I also really appreciated the way she laid out the chapters and incorporated automatic writing along with answers to burning questions throughout the book. Well done, Monica!
As someone who considers themselves a "spirit junkie" I was thrilled with Messages from Above. Of all the books I've read on this topic, this was by far the most organized and clearly expressed. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Monica. It's hard to believe you're still in your 20s! Hoping you'll come out with many more books down the road. I'll be the first to preorder!

Too familiar
So, I’ve been listening to several of these types of books lately. (Not going to lie it is because of Laura Lynne Jackson being a guest on “The Goop” on Netflix. Great overall show).
This book however started to sound quite similar in soooo many ways with the latest I had listened to by Kim Russo (a friend and colleague of Laura Lynne Jackson).
I enjoyed how Monica gave personal experiences, but there were several things that sounded like she had just read/listened to Kim Russo.
I am a believer in the afterlife. I believe you can receive messages and that for everyone who does is lucky to realize it, but I do caution that what Monica says sounds almost identical to Kim in her books.
Take a listen for yourself if you want. As Kim says (as does Laura).... we have spirit guides, but everything is free will.
Happy soul searching.

Wow
I discovered Monica when I was looking for podcasts on wine, and Wine and Spirits came up. Um, is she’s not a sommelier. I quickly digested all 17 of her podcast episodes (please do more Monica!) and then consumed this book in a matter of days. I’ve never read a book with so many answers to so many questions. This has given me so much comfort, and I am suggesting it to so many people. I hope it brings comfort to so many others dealing with loss as it did for me.

Completely Worth It
I’ve never completed an entire Audible recording from end to end...well I hadn’t—until today. Hearing Monica’s words in Monica’s voice drive though the authenticity. If you want a peek behind the curtain of mediumship — listen to this book. If you want first-hand accounts of those whose loved ones have been channeled by Monica — listen to this book. If you’ve lost a loved one and aren’t certain what to think about where there are in your current life — listen to this book. If you’re an Empath coming into your gift (or uncertain of whether or not you’re coming into a gift) —listen to this book. Seriously. You will not be disappointed.
