Full Disclosure: lives and lessons in spiritualism - Tapa blanda

The idea of attending a party does not appeal to Cheryl. She is deeply depressed; suffering from grief and guilt, and blaming herself for her mother's death. She grew-up emotionally and verbally abused by her mother, whose own painful childhood left her angry and resentful. After years of her mother’s faultfinding and stinging comments, Cheryl became hypersensitive to criticism, insecure and, like her mother, angry. Worst of all, she felt unloved. In a moment of anger toward her mother, she voiced words she would later sorely regret. When she receives an invitation to her friend's house warming party, she is not interested, but out of loyalty she wearily accepts. She attends the event with many other guests, including a well-known psychic Medium, Rev. Millie Landis. To Cheryl's surprise, she sees her mother there, even though her mother has been dead for over a year. Cheryl is captivated by the charming Spiritualist minister and seeks out Rev. Millie, thinking she has the answers to evict the guilty conscience that has become a permanent resident in her mind, and to help her resolve the lasting effects of a difficult relationship with her mother. Rev. Millie takes Cheryl under her wing. She teaches her the tenets of Spiritualism, the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, lessons from the angels, as she calls them, more remarkable psychic phenomena, and she shares stories and people significant to her in her own life. Cheryl begins to change. She learns to accept responsibility for her own life. She forgives herself and her mother and releases the guilt and shame that have been plaguing her. With Rev. Millie’s help, Cheryl successfully overcomes the resentfulness and insecurity that has been plaguing her, and realizes the love and acceptance from her mother that had always eluded her. Then, the table turns. Rev. Millie is beset with problems of her own; a painful surgery and an incredible attempted takeover of her church. As a pastor, who teaches positive thinking and maintaining faith in God through turbulent times, Rev. Millie is faced with living what she preaches while the church's troubled congregation attentively watches to see how she will manage the distressing problems. During the unfortunate fractious weeks of uproar, Rev. Millie wavers between the human emotions of fear and sorrow and the spiritual attitude of faith and belief. Through her physical pain and sadness caused by people she loves, Rev. Millie, unbeknownst to her, teaches Cheryl her final lesson. Full Disclosure is a book about conquering painful relationships with the love of Jesus and spirit communication. Readers will find hope in knowing that healing is possible, even from beyond the grave, and they will find comfort in the belief that angels and loved ones who have crossed over are always near.
