"It is no small accomplishment that author Susan Martinez has been able to add something fresh and exciting to the conversation about one of our greatest presidents. Highly recommended."
--FATE Magazine
"In rending the veil of imposed secrecy that has, for so long, shrouded Lincoln's life-long interest in Spiritualism, Martinez also touches upon the events of the Civil War, references icons of the time, relays numerous anecdotes about the Lincoln family séances, and quotes voluminously from documents and records attesting to the psychic events surrounding both Abe and his wife Mary. Martinez has produced a memorable account of the life and times of one of America's most beloved presidents."
--Mysteries Magazine
"New Age libraries will consider it a must-have acquisition."
--Midwest Library Service
"Dr. Martinez presents compelling evidence that one of America's greatest and most beloved presidents had been deeply involved in Spiritualism. She deserves the appreciation not only of Lincoln scholars and admirers, but of those who are attempting to enrich and deepen their own spiritual quest."
--Stanley Krippner, PhD, author and current Alan Watts Professor of Psychology, Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center
Throughout his life, Lincoln consulted oracles, and at age 22, he was told by a seer that he would become president of the United States. In his dreams, he foresaw his own sudden death.
Trauma and heartbreak opened the psychic door for this otherworldly president, whose precognitive dreams, evil omens, and trance-like states are carefully documented in this bold yet poignant chronicle of tragic beginnings, White House séances, and paranormal eruptions of the Civil War era.
Aided by the deathbed memoir of his favorite medium, Lincoln's remarkable psychic experiences come to life with communications from beyond, ESP, true and false prophecies, and thumbnail sketches of the most influential spiritualists in his orbit. Surveying clairvoyant incidents in Lincoln's life from cradle to grave, the book also examines the Emancipation Proclamation and the unseen powers that moved pen to hand for its historic signing.
