Book Review by Barry Eaton

The Love of Spirit

by Liz Winter, Balboa Press

Liz Winter is a medium living and working in the Northern Rivers area – like many of us in the area she felt guided by some unseen presence to leave the big city life, head north and start a new life.  Although Winter had started her training as a medium in Melbourne, it was only after she summoned enough courage to start working professionally in her new location that her true purpose in life started to unfold.

For the Love of Spirit is Winter’s personal story, a single mother who battled the odds to help people connect with their loved ones in Spirit, and in doing so grew both personally and spiritually. For the Love of Spirit is an easy read and will certainly help others either in their quest to develop their own psychic abilities, or simply to understand the process and benefits of contacting spirits in the afterlife.

Liz tells of connecting with her spirit guide, White Owl, who is able to communicate with her with clairaudience with words of support, as well as helping her to connect with those in Spirit. Every medium needs what is often referred to as a ‘spirit control’ or a ‘gatekeeper’ to connect our world with the world of spirit and help establish and maintain clear communication. These powerful guides often present themselves in various archetypal forms, such as Red Indians, Buddhist monks and the like, to make us feel more comfortable. White Owl’s relationship with Liz has certainly been a strong influence in her work.

Many books written by mediums and psychics are full of anecdotes about their work and the people they encounter. I feel that these authors are often trying to prove to people that they are genuine, asking for a pat of approval on their collective backs. Not so with Winter – she has left her ego safely locked away with her story. Winter does include some of her encounters in the world of spirit, but this book is essentially a memoir, and this is the true strength and appeal of the book. One story made me chuckle when I read it. Winter was expecting her next client to arrive, only to see a man in a police uniform stride through the door. Like most of us in the same circumstances her heart missed a couple of beats as she assumed she must be in trouble. It turned out that ‘Ken’ was on his way to work and had to come for his reading in uniform. Winter was able to connect with his late wife who had passed shortly after their honeymoon and the messages that she had for Ken helped him to move on with his life.

Liz also writes openly about her own relationships and family situations, taking the reader into her world in a warm and embracing manner. All-in-all For The Love of Spirit is a very enjoyable book.
