Lisa Williams (1) (1973–)

Lisa Williams is a medium, psychic and clairvoyant and when I came across her TV show 'Life Among the Dead' on Foxtel I was hooked. I was instantly drawn to her warm personality and watched every episode I could, as she met with people and passed on messages from loved ones who had passed away.

I was so excited when I learned she was touring Australia however her tour sold out before I could get tickets. The next time she toured the country I bought tickets straight away and went with a show more friend to see her 'show' at Hamer Hall. Now, I'm a true believer in her gift and was touched by her ability to accurately communicate messages, names, places and other information that she couldn't otherwise have known.

When I learned Lisa had written a book, I just had to read it. This is an autobiography of sorts, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've read several books by mediums and others have contained explanations of their gift, views on the afterlife and examples of readings that have stayed with them or touched them in some way.

This book is essentially Lisa's life story from childhood to the astonishing success of her hit TV show in LA. It contains a lot of details of her social life that readers looking for the meaning of life will find dull and uninteresting. I didn't, and that's because I really like her and didn't mind reading about her personal life, her love life, her battle with cancer and her journey as a psychic.

Although I've got to say I struggled with how long it took for her to recognise her gift and start to have faith - pardon the pun - in her ability to help people and begin to develop her gift into a full-time occupation. She has now achieved this end and has changed many lives around the world with her abilities and her love and warm character.

Fans of the show will enjoy this book, it was a nice easy read. show less

I was raised in the Catholic religion, so I've always had faith in a Higher Power, however, I've always felt in my heart and soul that the Afterlife (or whatever you want to call it) was much bigger than Heaven, Hell and whatever is in-between. I also firmly believe that there are people in the world that have the ability, or Gift, to communicate with those of us who have already passed on. With all that said, Lisa's book acknowledged these lifelong beliefs that "there has got to be show more something after life on Earth" and "there has to be a reason why we are who we are".

No matter what your religious beliefs or non-beliefs are, this book is fascinating. And, Lisa's writing is easy-to-read and easy to comprehend. Highly recommend for all. show less

After reading Life Among the Dead by Lisa Williams almost 3 years ago now, and enjoying it, I was keen to read her follow up book The Survival of the Soul.

Lisa Williams is a medium/clairvoyant, and I've been to see her at an event in Melbourne and was touched by the events that took place there.

Williams writes about what happens after we die, and whether it's true or not, I guess we'll only find out when it's our turn. Strangely, the information contained in The Survival of the Soul is show more similar to the views held by renowned psychic and spiritual medium Sylvia Browne in her books The Other Side and Back and Life on the Other Side.

Both women claim their information is provided to them by their spirit guides, so if you are a believer, then it should be no surprise that their information is the same.

Atheists, and those with their own religious beliefs are advised to give this book a miss, but I really enjoyed it. show less

I adore Lisa Williams; the book reads very quickly and well, but I was not as enamored as I hoped to be. I want to believe that she is the real deal, but can't be sure without a personal experience. She is extremely likeable and this is a very quick read. Interesting, but not fascinating.
