An Arthur Ford Anthology: Writings by and about America's Sensitive of the Century

Who Is Arthur Ford? the medium ... the catalyst ... the unwilling Elijah ... the man Even those who knew him well struggle with this question. Now, more than a quarter century after his death in 1971, this anthology brings together a variety of perspectives to give us a fascinating picture of an extraordinary and complicated man. He was catapulted into fame by his unrivaled talent as a medium, and his life was shaped by his efforts to understand and make peace with this gift. The veracity of the information he offered during trance was confirmed over and over, yet there always lingered that shadow of a doubt. Are these suspicions well-founded, or is it our own reluctance to accept the possibility that life continues after death? “The great integrity of Arthur Ford made him especially appealing.... Above everything, he wanted to spread the good news of everlasting life, the survival of consciousness after physical death.” —The Rev. Paul Lambourne Higgins, First President of Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, from the “Preface” “This book is a great compilation of thoughts about Arthur Ford. He ... was one of a kind, a great original, and we shall not see his like again.” —The Rev. Canon William V. Rauscher, Past President of Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, from the “Introduction” “As a general observation on the two great sensitives, Edgar Cayce and Arthur Ford, it may be said that Cayce sought to restore physical and emotional health for subjects by guidance and wisdom from the ‘Akashic records,’ while Ford ministered to the spiritual and mental well-being of subjects with information and assurances from deceased loved ones.” —Frank C.
