Having had the pleasure of being in Denise's classes and actually hearing the channeled information live makes me feel even more blessed than the reader of this book. But if you weren't there, the power of Michael's message to humanity still bellows out from each and every page. This book is a reminder of our divine heritage, and is a guide in getting and keeping ourselves on the Path and make each moment of life a true continuation of the spiritual journey. This book is truly a gift from God, and every word is both precious and sacred.

In "A Plea From The Angels" Denise Cooney brings to us messages from the archangel Michael and the spiritual beig called Sananda. I am one who has read a large amount of spiritual literature. I have found that most books contribute either information or guidance. In Ms. Cooney's book I found not only Information about rules of spiritual existence, rules of physical existence,rules of prayer and Guidance in healing my life, becoming a spiritual being,enjoying life, and accepting others, but most importantly when I read this book I felt something rare that I have discovered can only be taken from those peices of work that are true to God and to all things. I felt inspired. So now the question is,is this book right for you? Being spiritual is a choice of life so it is a constant in the way that you spend your time. If you want to read this book to find all the answers you will not find what you are looking for because what you are looking for does not exist.Michael says in this book "Books do not make you God realized....Listening to me does not make you God realized. What makes you God realized is God!" But, if you want to read this book so that you have a good grounding in spirituality that gives you no more or less than what you need to begin dicovering the great world that is beyond this one and most importantly begin discovering the great world we live in that we see through blurred eyes and closed hearts, and you are willing to read it with an open mind, I truly feel that there is no other book more fit for you.

In this story this little girl is curious about her neighbor and this letter her mother recieved. He say footprints coming from her neighbors house to her door. This neighbor hasn't left her house in 20 years. This lady is Emily. Later in the story they decide to go visit her. They went to play music for her. Emily just wanted spring that is why she asked them to play her music n the letter. The little girl keeps thinking about the mystery of Emily when spring has come. This Emily is Emily Dickinson and she is shut in the house for so long because she is writing poetry. She has the little girls mother come to play music becase it inspires her. This is a very good story and might even be true story. I enjoyed it.

The book "Emily" was an ok book for me because I'm just not into mystery books but you other kids may like it. Its about a myth that a person is living in a yellow house and has never came out for 20 years. This little girl, Emily, has always wanted to go there and give the person some bulbs that grow into lillies in the spring. Will she do it? Who knows? You need to read the book to find out what happens next.

"There is a woman on our street they call the Myth. She lives with her sister in the yellow house across the road. Her room is the one up on the left at the front. If you stand on tiptoe, you can see it peeping over the high hedge as you pass. She hasn't left her house in nearly twenty years. If strangers come to call, she runs and hides herself away. Some people say she's crazy. But to me she's Emily..." When our young narrator's mother is invited to cross the street and play the piano for the elusive Emily, the little girl can't wait to accompany her. Emily is nowhere to be seen, but Mother sits and nervously begins to play. "When Mother stopped she turned to me. A sound of clapping rippled down the stairs, and then a small voice like a little girl's. "Dear friend, you put the robin's song to shame. Play more. Already I can feel the spring." As her mother continues, the little girl creeps up the winding stairs to investigate, and at the bend at the top, finds a small woman dressed in white, sitting and listening to the beautiful music from below. From her pocket, our narrator takes out two lily bulbs. "I brought you some spring...If you plant them they will turn to lilies." Quickly Emily dashed off some words on a scrap of paper and handed it to her guest. "Hide this away, as I will hide your gift to me. Perhaps in time they both will bloom." And so as spring arrived, so did the lilies, and a young girl's special poem from Emily Dickinson..... Michael Bedard has captured the quiet and intriguing reclusive nature of Emily Dickinson in his well researched historical story. "In writing this book, I went to Amherst to visit the house where she lived. I sat in the parlor with the piano, visited the room where she wrote. I stood beneath her window and she lowered this story to me." His simple, eloquent, and engaging text transports the reader back in time to nineteenth century Amherst, Massachusetts, to spend an afternoon with Emily Dickinson. You can almost hear the piano drifting up the stairs, and the scratches of her pen as Emily dashes off a poem. Barbara Cooney's beautifully evocative oil paintings are rich in period detail, and complement the text with their quiet settings. With an Afterword to complete and enhance the story, Emily is truly a masterpiece of word and art, and a fascinating story that shouldn't be missed.
