'The boy who came back from heaven' Co-author says best-selling book is false

    Whenever someone lies and misleads people about an afterlife experience it really disturbs me. Such is the case with a book that became a best seller and was made into a film last year called "The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven."          

     As someone who has genuinely had a gift to get messages from people on the other side since I was a teenager, the moment I read the jacket of this book I told others it was a fake. 

   What's even more disgusting to me is that it was all concocted by a preacher - the young boy's father (now divorced from his mother).  He obviously made up this story to convince people of his religion and profit from his deception. 

    So, I urge people to be careful what they read about afterlife experiences. If it follows too closely to a religion, then it is likely false. 

    I have come to know several genuine mediums who can pass messages on from the other side, and the messages usually never include any religion's references. I've written my own books about my experiences but everything I've written can be validated by others. To do so otherwise is shameful, misleading and abhorrent. Question motive before you believe them. - Rob

'The boy who came back from heaven' Alex Malarkey says best-selling book is false

Mark Woods 15 January 2015

 

The best-selling story of a boy's near-death experience is a fake, according to its co-author and subject.

Tyndale

Alex Malarkey has retracted his story about going to heaven and returning

The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven was written by Alex and his father Kevin Malarkey and published by Tyndale House in 2010. It purported to tell the story of six-year-old Alex's experiences in heaven after a car accident in 2004, which included meeting and talking to Jesus.
    Now, however, Alex – who was left quadraplegic by the accident – has written an open letter to booksellers including the Southern Baptist Convention's Lifeway business recanting his story and taking aim at other accounts of "heaven tourism", a genre that includes Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo and My Journey to Heaven by Marvin Besteman.
Addressed to "Lifeway and Other Sellers, Buyers, and Marketers of Heaven Tourism, by the Boy Who Did Not Come Back From Heaven", the letter says: "Please forgive the brevity, but because of my limitations I have to keep this short.
"I did not die. I did not go to Heaven.

     "I said I went to heaven because I thought it would get me attention. When I made the claims that I did, I had never read the Bible.     People have profited from lies, and continue to. They should read the Bible, which is enough. The Bible is the only source of truth. Anything written by man cannot be infallible.

"It is only through repentance of your sins and a belief in Jesus as the Son of God, who died for your sins (even though he committed none of his own) so that you can be forgiven may you learn of Heaven outside of what is written in the Bible ... not by reading a work of man. I want the whole world to know that the Bible is sufficient. Those who market these materials must be called to repent and hold the Bible as enough."
      Alex's mother Beth, who is divorced from his father (who is a preacher) and who is Alex's caregiver, had previously disowned the book, writing on her blog: "It is both puzzling and painful to watch the book The Boy who Came Back from Heaven to not only continue to sell, but to continue, for the most part, to not be questioned." She claimed that he had not benefited financially from it, concluding: "Alex did not write the book and it is not blessing him!"
  The Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution at its 2014 conference critical of 'heaven tourism' books, though they continue to be sold by Lifeway.
Tyndale House and Kevin Malarkey were approached to comment on this story.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR FROM AMAZON: Kevin Malarkey is a Christian therapist with a counseling practice near Columbus, Ohio. He attended the College of Wooster and earned a graduate degree from Ohio State University. He and his wife, Beth, have four children (Alex, Aaron, Gracie, and Ryan) and attend a nondenominational evangelical church.

Spirit at Work: The Christmas Eve Package!

I often say how spirits influence things to happen to let us know that they're still around. Around Christmastime, I got a call from my friend Cathy who received an amazing sign from her daughter who had passed 6 years earlier. I asked Cathy to write up the event so you could read it first-hand and she sent it to me. Cathy's story appears below:
 
The Christmas Eve Package

In August 2008 my daughter passed away at the age of 40.  Ever since then I get signs from her as she leaves me dimes to let me know she's still with me. 

       On 12/16/14 I found out I have to have a hysterectomy and my big concern is that I'll become incontinent.  On Christmas eve I heard a knock at the door and when I got there, there was nobody there but there was a package addressed to my deceased daughter from a medical supply place.  

   One of my other daughters called them 12/26 and they said the last package that was sent to her was 4/23/08 but it was never marked as received so to open the package and if it was a left wrist splint it was that UPS had just found the package.  So I opened the package and it's an eighty pack of depends.  I started laughing thinking my daughter had sent me a Christmas gift letting me know that I will be incontinent after my surgery.  

    The ship to address inside the package was for a man in Clifton Heights and my daughter is from Philadelphia.  There are no similarities in the name.  

    I called Rob to tell him about this and he told me I have very strong spirits around me and that he feels my daughter diverted the package.  As I was talking to Rob I heard my daughter cracking up laughing and she said "go that's just in case." I had to laugh.  My daughter was a prankster in life and she still is in death.

Pets and the Afterlife/ Scientific Research: How Dogs Know What You're Feeling

In March 2014, I published "Pets and the Afterlife" about how dogs, cats and horses are able to communicate with us from the other side, and how they can sense ghosts and spirits. In order to communicate, pets need to understand our emotions and language, and they do. Every month new scientific evidence comes out to prove the intelligence of our pets. Here's one from SCIENCE Magazine that came out in Feb. 2014. - Rob

How Dogs Know What You're Feeling

 ByVirginia Morell, SCIENCE MAGAZINE 

20 February 2014 12:00 pm

 

    When you hear a friend’s voice, you immediately picture her, even if you can’t see her. And from the tone of her speech, you quickly gauge if she’s happy or sad. You can do all of this because your human brain has a “voice area.” Now, scientists using brain scanners and a crew of eager dogs have discovered that dog brains, too, have dedicated voice areas. The finding helps explain how canines can be so attuned to their owners’ feelings.
    “It’s absolutely brilliant, groundbreaking research,” says Pascal Belin, a neuroscientist at the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom, who was part of the team that identified the voice areas in the human brain in 2000. “They’ve made the first comparative study using nonhuman primates of the cerebral processing of voices, and they’ve done it with a noninvasive technique by training dogs to lie in a scanner.”
   The scientists behind the discovery had previously shown that humans can readily distinguish between dogs’ happy and sad barks. “Dogs and humans share a similar social environment,” says Attila Andics, a neuroscientist in a research group at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest and the lead author of the new study. “So we wondered if dogs also get some social information from human voices.”
To find out, Andics and his colleagues decided to scan the canine brain to see how it processes different types of sounds, including voices, barks, and natural noises. In humans, the voice area is activated when we hear others speak, helping us recognize a speaker’s identity and pick up on the emotional content in her voice. If dogs had voice areas, it could mean that these abilities aren’t limited to humans and other primates.
   So the team trained 11 dogs to lie motionless in a functional magnetic resonance imaging brain scanner, while wearing headphones to deliver the sounds and protect their ears. “They loved doing this,” Andics says, adding that the pooches’ owners were there to reward them with treats and petting. The scanner captured images of the dogs’ brain activity while they listened to nearly 200 dog and human sounds, including whines, cries, playful barks, and laughs. The scientists also scanned the brains of 22 human subjects who listened to the same set of sounds. Both dogs and humans were awake during the scans.
   The images revealed that dog brains have voice areas and that they process voices in the same way that human brains do, the team reports online today in Current Biology. And because these voice areas are found in similar locations in the brains of both dogs and humans, the scientists suggest that they likely evolved at least 100 million years ago, when humans and dogs last shared a common ancestor, an insectivore. Indeed, some think that brain areas for processing vocal sounds could be discovered in more species.
    Still, when voice areas were first discovered in humans, they were thought to be special and somehow tied specifically to the evolution of language. “So what are they doing in dog brains?” Andics asks.
     The answer lies, he thinks, in what the scans also revealed: Striking similarities in how dog and human brains process emotionally laden sounds. Happy sounds, such as an infant’s giggle, made the primary auditory cortex of both species light up more than did unhappy sounds, such as a man’s harsh cough. “It shows that dogs and humans have similar brain mechanisms for processing the social meaning of sound,” Andics says, noting that other research has shown that dogs “respond to the way we say something rather than to what we say.” The similarity in auditory

processing, he adds, “helps explain why vocal communication between the two species is so successful.”
But there were differences, too. The researchers discovered that in dogs, 48% of their auditory brain regions respond more strongly to environmental sounds, such as a car engine, than to voices. In humans, in contrast, a mere 3% of their sound-sensitive brain regions lit up more for the nonvocal sounds. “It shows how very strongly attuned the human auditory cortex is to vocal sounds,” Andics says. “In dogs, it’s more heterogeneous.”
     Yet it is the similarity in how dogs and humans process the emotional information in voices that other researchers find most intriguing. “They’ve confirmed what any dog owner knows—that their pooches are sensitive to one’s tone of voice,” says John Marzluff, a wildlife biologist at the University of Washington, Seattle. Even more important, he adds, is that the study “confronts us with the realization that our wonderful brain is in many ways a product of our distant evolutionary past.”

My first book: Officially "Retired": Ghosts and Spirits

On Dec. 18, 2014 I contacted my publisher, CreateSpace and officially retired my first book "Ghosts and Spirits: Insights from a Medium."  
  I published the first edition of this book 5 years ago this month - in Dec. 2009. It was my very first book. 
  It was a very personal book to me, because it contained all of the amazing ways that my dad communicated to me and my family to prove his spirit was still around us the week of his passing.  It also includes my experiences in detail with the spirit of my first dog, Buzz-Wyatt, who passed in 2005.
  Since I published the book,  I've learned a lot about the paranormal and the book needs some updating. 
 So, although there will always be some copies floating around on Amazon.com, the book will no longer be available.  - My newer books, "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead," and "Pets and the Afterlife" are more up-to-date, and I hope you enjoy those.

Customer Reviews

Insightful and enjoyable

By Samantha Realynn Deshong on January 15, 2010

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

I've read plenty of books dealing with spirits, ghosts and the like while experimenting and exploring my own gifts. I have to say that none of them ever really delved into the detail and personal level that this books does. It offers a more distinctual look at the supernatural elements around us and how they work. The scientific aspect of it was insightful and answered a lot of questions that I had that other books could not. I give this one 5 stars! A must-read for budding mediums and other psychics, or even if you just want a good source of info about the supernatural!

 

Insightful, Encouraging, Educational Read!

By Louis Charles on January 2, 2011

Format: Paperback

Have you ever wondered how we can tune-in to the other side of the grave or why people who have died want to bother with the living?

Rob Gutro, author of 'Ghost and Spirits: Insights From a Medium,' takes his readers on a personal journey of discovery, sharing his own experiences with ghosts and spirits. By taking us on a tour of haunted sites, revealing his own accounts of family haunting, and telling story after story of how deceased people attempt to grasp our attention, Rob's work encourages us to re-examine what many of us have written off to mere coincidence: People in spirit are very near and communicate with us regularly.

Rob truly knows the power and importance of love and forgiveness -- all lessons we can take away from his book. I know you'll be encouraged by 'Ghosts and Spirits,' and I highly recommend it! - Louis

Very Informative and Personal Book

By Jeannie P on October 31, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition

First and foremost I have to say I met this author and had a very interesting conversation with him. He was very articulate and was well informed on the paranormal. He offered me a proof copy of his book if i would read and give my honest opinion on his book. I want to let you all know I do believe in Ghosts, I have seen Ghosts/Spirits if you believe me or not that is your opinion, I will now give my opinion on this book.

Rob Gutro gives you a insightful break down of paranormal activity, ghosts and haunts in the first few chapters which answer a lot of questions that are normally asked about how,what, where and why paranormal activity happens. The experiences that are written in this book are not only from Rob Gutro's personal experiences and that of his family but also of many other people and historical sites. This book is full of experiences that make you go wow and look at things in a different light. This book is not one of those typical haunting books that you can pick up in gift shop which gives historical "ghost" facts, this is something more real and personal. I truly enjoyed this book and for those looking for answers or just wanting something a little different I recommend this book to you.

Q&A: Will a Cat's Spirit Find Me if I Move?

Credit: https://covenstead.wordpress.com/

I received the following question, which likely applies to a lot of people, so I thought I'd share the question and answer:

Q: If I move will the spirit of my beloved cat follow me or should I contact a psychic to guide her to my new home. I have been told she is still with me and knows that I will always love her
 

A: Rob Gutro - Ghosts and Spirits Hi John -The spirit of your cat will find you. The love you share is the energy that links you together. Spirits can find us anywhere in the world. My dog Buzz's spirit found me when I was vacationing in Puerto Rico and led me to a doppelganger to tell me he was still around.

Part 3: My Interview of Randy Russell, Author: The Ghost Will See You Now

This is part 3 of 3 of my Q&A with Randy Russell, author of the book: "The Ghost Will See You Now: Haunted

Hospitals of  the South. "This part of the interview focuses on Randy's personal ghostly interactions and some stories in the book that I found particularly "haunting."
 I recommend picking up a copy of his book. It will really give you a different feel for walking into a hospital...



PART 3: Reactions of Hospital Workers and Hauntings in Rebuilt Structures.

Q: Did you find that medical staffers in the facilities that are still open were reluctant to talk about their ghostly encounters or were they excited to share them?

No reluctance at all, Rob.  More to the point, they were likely to tell more than I possibly needed. Finding multiple employees who knew of a particular paranormal happenstance was the initial challenge.  For every verification that something went on a particular floor, or room, or ward, was accompanied by stories of events in other places about the hospital.  As I talk about the book now that it has been published, employees of medical-care facilities are sharing many more accounts of eerie things that have occurred where they worked. 

 Q: You cited that some of the facilities that burned down and were rebuilt still contain the ghosts that lived when the former facility was still standing. So do you think they're more confined to the location than the actual structure?  Do you think that ghosts see the new structure or continue to live in the past?

I’m not sure that you can burn out a ghost.  That said, all else in your question applies.  Some ghosts are hanging around the location and some the actual structure… and I am sure some ghosts have attached themselves to things, as well, such as a particular bed or chair.  I do think most ghosts “see” a new structure. In fact, it is a new structure, and remodeling of an old one, that seems to call upon the ghosts to become active.  Perhaps they found a way to rest that is being disturbed.

Author Randy Russell

Let me add one word of warning to those who seek to understand ghosts and hauntings.  Do not be too quick to assume that a particular moment of history is at play when you meet a ghost.  In most cases, the ghost is there for you. A ghost is there because you are. Again, it is my personal belief that the only way a ghost exists is through the perception of the living. 

Now, it may be a ghost wants you, or anyone, to remember a particular time in history.  Ghosts may not be stupidly reliving their lives as an unaware imprint on whatever the heck imprints… They’re performing the rote activity specifically for you. Because you are there.

A ghost is showing you what they did and perhaps how they did it.  They know their time has passed.  A ghost is only as stupid, or as smart, as the person who is seeing it.

My New Year's Message to You

    Happy New Year all!  - Some things to consider about 2014 and for 2015: Remember that every year will have challenges whether they be financial, health, relationships or the passing of people or precious pets we love. No year should really be looked as a miserable, because we all learn from our experiences and they make us stronger, better people. 

    We need to learn not to hate, and not to judge an entire people by the actions of a few. Whether it be in a profession or a race or religion. One person doesn't represent all. Just think about this before acting.
   My mother passed just before 2014 started, but I came to terms with it quickly because she lived a good life and added so much to my life - as does anyone you love who passed, no matter how young or old they are. Grieving is a natural part of physical loss, but we need to remember those who passed in our hearts, minds and deeds.
  Instead of self-pity and wallowing in grief- Go out and do good things in their memory: like donating to a rescue, helping someone pay for groceries, cook someone a meal, visit someone in a nursing home, bring a hot cup of coffee to someone working outside... and do it in memory of someone. 
   No matter what the challenges, life is a gift. Appreciate the people in your life now, and discard the negative influences.That can be difficult, though, when the negative people are family members- but those family members need to be ignored. If it is a parent who foolishly "hates" a son because he was born gay, the son needs to ignore the parent until they come to their senses. If you deal with mentally ill relatives, after encouraging help - and they don't get it, leave them alone.
   Care for yourself. There is only one you, and YOU affect those around you. Don't wallow in grief, don't cry over what you don't have, but focus on what you do have. Life and every year will never be perfect. To think otherwise is to fool yourself.
   Appreciate the simple things: a hot coffee on a cold day, a smile from a stranger, a green light while driving, a short check out line at the store, a good book or call from a friend. Hug a dog or cat today. Look at the blue sky, sing to your favorite song. Call a friend. Surprise someone with something homemade- like brownies or a card.
   We wish you all a year of happiness and health in 2015 and if you don't have both or either, focus on what you do have, and enjoy every day.
  Wishing you a wonderful 2015,
Rob Gutro

Part 2: My Interview of Randy Russell, Author "The Ghost Will See You Now"

PART 2:  Q&A WITH RANDY RUSSELL

Q: It seems that a good number of the hauntings were associated with the Civil War and I don't think that many people realize (as you cited) that private homes were opened up as hospitals and may contain ghosts of soldiers. Are you also a Civil War history buff?

I am not a history buff of the war, per se.  However, it’s extremely difficult, if not impossible, when you live in the South to be interested in any aspect of history and avoid coming to at least a minimal understanding of the effect on people and places of the War Between the States.  Private homes used as hospitals were widespread as the last years of the war moved from town to town and county to county.  Churches and colleges saw similar use.    

 Q: Do you belong to a ghost investigation team?

I do not. I am friends with a few paranormal investigators and talk with many.  But I am not a gizmo guy.  I think the only tool necessary to document a ghost encounter is the human heart.

Q: Have you personally had any encounters with ghosts? If so, when was your first encounter?

Great question, Rob.  Yes, I have had many encounters with ghosts.  You know, I think it may be impossible not to. I’ll probably have many more.  I think ghosts are pushing and pulling at us from the beginning so it is terrifically difficult to determine a first encounter.  I’m sure my first communication and/or interaction with the dead occurred when I was very young and I gave it little or no heed.  As with most children, a ghost simply isn’t out the ordinary. It’s someone to talk with when we’re alone.  That is, until adults talk us out it altogether.

All that said, my own first memorable paranormal experiences were aural. I would wake up in the middle of the night to someone calling my name.    

Author Randy Russell

Q: As a medium I encountered a ghost in the Washington Adventist Hospital on an elevator when I went to visit a friend in 2010 and I crossed her over into the light. Did any of these hospital ghosts cross over that you know of? 

I’m sure they do cross over and many have already.  If nothing else, they fade from weariness, I would suspect.  A haunting really isn’t likely to last forever.  Face it, most famous ghosts haven’t been seen by anyone for years, decades even.  In fact, I would suggest that the ghost a person is most likely to encounter is the ghost of someone they know or of someone who knew them. 

 Q: The story of Rachel's encounter with the ghost doctor from the Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital was particularly interesting. Did you interview Rachel or her boyfriend/nurse?  Did the boyfriend believe her encounter? Was that recent?

The haunting was very recent. Rachel is a made-up name for that reason. I also created the dialogue as a part of developing the reported happenstance as a story. The ghost encounter, in this case, belonged to Rachel (instead of the boyfriend).  It is intriguing to me that not all people in the vicinity of a haunting experience it in the same way.  I would say Rachel’s boyfriend may well come to terms with her encounter as a ghost experience, just not right away.  Rachel understood this as it was happening, of course.

 Q: Another story that really stuck with me was that of Beth, the girl who was struck by a car driven by an actor, and who died watching the actor's performance at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee. Did the actor's family not want to be recognized?   Why do you think Beth decided to "haunt" the theatre instead of her home? 

Rob, I could go on and on about this dandy little ghost of a girl in Memphis.  Beth is kind of the opposite of trend in that she is in fact seen over and over again through the years.  It seems as if the theatre was the most thrilling thing she’d ever seen in her short life.  Why leave?  I mean, as long as they keep changing the show… she’s content to watch from her seat in the balcony.
