{"product_id":"2940016593548","title":"The Next Room","description":"The Next Room is written by husband and wife mediums Doris and Hilary Severn of the United Kingdom. Doris hesitated about writing because she feared her stories would not be believed, or that, if believed, that she would be considered to be irreverent. But she undertook the project so that those who sorrowed for their departed loved ones might find comfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoris did not develop her mediumistic powers until she was of “quite mature years,” although she was always interested in psychic subjects. The death of her brother when she was nine years old left a deep impression on her; she grieved considerably for him. Later her sister died, and she would dream about this sister who was, “yet brighter, prettier, and more loving than ever.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter what seems to be a near-death experience (NDE) under anesthesia, her abilities began to blossom. Following a second NDE, her gifts began to operate in earnest. It was at this time that both Doris and her husband Hilary became clairvoyant and clairaudient.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir assistance to the departed began with a dear one who had recently passed away. “We learned that the spiritual world is very near us, that it, in fact, interpenetrates this world. We were told of the necessity of prayer for all, of the holy work of the angels in ministering to the denizens of that world, as well as to those still in this life.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot all of their excursions into the unseen world were happy ones. “We learned that those who have passed from this life, having lived without the love and fear of God, do indeed go into a sad and bitter bondage, but that if they repent and cry for help, it is given them by God, through the agency of His angels.” They ministered to a murderous despot, a young soldier killed tragically, and to others in torture in the “Grey World” (a sort of purgatory or hell for unenlightened spirits), encouraging them to enter the Light. Even departed pets appeared to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey learned their Spiritualist lessons over a period of four years. The Next Room, first published in 1911, contains a sampling of their psychic adventures, told from a decidedly Christian perspective. This edition, edited by Lee Allen Howard, is formatted especially for Nook. Improvements include updated spellings, typographical and punctuation corrections, and a linked table of contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you’re looking to peer beyond the veil, The Next Room offers insight and blessing to those who long to help those on the Other Side make progress toward the Light.","brand":"Lee Allen Howard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081627091184,"sku":"2940016593548","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016593548_p0.jpg?v=1763638480","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016593548","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
