Features & Highlights

  • The highly anticipated memoir from the star of the hit series
  • Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead
  • When Lisa Williams was four years old, she told her parents about the spirits in her bedroom. Since those first sightings, Lisa has seen and communicated with thousands of people who have passed over, listening to their stories and delivering messages of comfort to the loved ones they left behind. In
  • Life Among the Dead
  • , Lisa invites readers into her extraordinary life, from her childhood in Birmingham, England, where her grandmother -- also a renowned psychic -- encouraged her to respect and nurture her talent, to her decision to move to Los Angeles, where her smash-hit Lifetime television show quickly made her one of the world's most beloved mediums.

Four & a Half Stars! Mostly Lisa's Autobiography as a Medium

This book is her (Lisa's) autobiography - focused on her evolution - and not much about mediumship. I want to say - one reason I didn't give 5 stars - is because it is printed on very cheap paper. Mostly - I really like this book - and one I didn't want to put down (I.E. wanted to keep reading). She talks of her grandmother - a well-known English Medium (Lisa too is English). As a child she tried to ignore her gifts - they scared her, and oddly her grandmother was afraid to die. She had many challenges in life - like many of us humans do. She learned healing practices like Reiki. She is anti-psychic hotline (many phoneys). After some personal therapy - her abilities improved. Lisa experienced her own NDE, and later went through some 'life regression hypnosis' - this explained some of her 'irrational' fears, and now is confident that we live 'endless reincarnations' - until perfection has been reached. I guess the only thing I wanted more of - was insight into the afterlife and How Mediumship works. I probably want too much in one book. I truly enjoyed this book - and like Lisa a lot!! I strongly recommend this book!

A Little Bit Disappointed

I had read one of her other books and found it very interesting and I think I gave it five stars but for whatever the reasons were, I just couldn't wrap my head around this book even though it was eloquently written. This is not to say that others might not find it enjoyable however.

Unfortunately, I personally found it to be a bit boring and not a "page-turner" like her other works have been, but maybe my expectations were a bit high? I think the retail price is reasonable enough though that if someone was interested in purchasing it that they should and form their own opinion.

Life Among the Dead

I very much enjoyed this book. It held my interest learning how Lisa grew up as a child, and how she became the world renowned psychic medium she is today. Thank you Lisa, your story was told from the heart.
