Louis LaGrand makes great strides toward removing the shroud of mystery from a subject with which everyone should be acquainted. Although a self-described skeptic, LaGrand has come to a conclusion in favor of the reality of after-death communication, and stresses its benefits for those in grief, those attempting to comfort the grieving, and those who simply want a better understanding of their mortality and what waits for them beyond death. LaGrand's research is impeccable, and his method of presentation is professional while remaining accessible.
