This personal account of contact with the spirit realm offers insight into the mysteries of death and concrete evidence that life continues on. For most of his adult life, therapist George Dalzell didn’t believe in contact beyond the grave. But his perspective on reality was forever shifted after his friend Michael was killed. Dalzell had counseled people who claimed to hear voices. Now he was hearing a voice himself—one that was unmistakably Michael. The voice revealed information about Michael’s private life and possessions. Other phenomena followed, including apparitions of Michael and rose petals left in the pattern of an angel. And Dalzell wasn’t alone. Michael opened the channels to seven friends and family members, providing incontrovertible signs that prove he was communicating with them. In Messages, Dalzell adds indisputable confirmation of life after death. His uplifting story can offer comfort to grieving families and calm our fears of passing into the next realm.
