truly one of the best books I have EVER read!!!
Lynn has a very down to earth way of explaining expanded thought processes. If you follow what she teaches in her books and tapes you will FEEL the energy buzzing through you, see things in a new way, and be on your way to becoming a master instead of a victim of life. Her books are so powerful that I gave both of them as gifts this year for the holidays to many of my friends and family. Because I Love them, I wanted to give them a chance to develop that awesome sense of power that comes from creating your own reality.(excuse me, your life is waiting is also incredible!

I'm in heaven.
Thanks to Lynn Grabhorn for this book. I have been searching for an answer for the last 30 years, but not until i read this book i realised that i am the answer to all my questions. I have the full responsibilty to get on with my life, but I have a lot of helpers to guide me through. I have just finished the book, but tonight I will start all over again enjoing the content of this marvelous book. I would also very much like to join one of your seminars if possible. Again, THANKS LYNN GRABHORN, today I have found the best reasons to live,myself. Feel free to write me.

Life changing material---thank you Lynn!
Books and literature always add to our lives in some manner. "Beyond the 12 steps" will take you where you've been waiting to go. If applied, the material in this book can do nothing other than positively alter your life, as it did mine. There was a time and place in my recovery for A.A. literature and this book is the next step to a deeper understanding of my sobriety and spirituality. I highly reccomend this book ,it will bring you an abundance of clarity and joy.

Great compliment to Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting
As a huge fan of Grabhorn's book, Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting, and a facilitator of groups learning the technique, she outlines in the text, this work/playbook is a great resource for excerises to support the text. For those disciplined enough to work through it on their own [or with the support of a group] this book give many interesting and powerful exercises which you to bring the steps to life and flip the switch from living life by accident, or deliberately.

Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting
I believe this book should be required reading for any one looking for changes in their life. It puts a whole new perspective on everyday life and our place in it. The down to earth writing is fantastic. I'm going to recommend it to my Psychotherapist.

Excuse me your life is NOW
First review, here goes. Yes, the previous reviewers for this book have nailed it on the head. It is about how you feel, and how that affects your thinking and then taking action upon those feelings. Do things, anything, from an inspirational aspect. What inspires you. I am re-reading this one. There is so much useful information that Lynn touches upon, that it is worth a second read. Actually, I plan to write in a notebook the parts I thought were important to remember. The biggest simpliest change you can do right now is just smile. Yes, just smile. Are you smiling? Now, don't you feel different. Well, that is just a smidgen of what Lynn's book can do for you.

Manifestation 101? Depends how you look at it...
I've read many books on manifesting, but I consider this THE BEST one on the subject because it is an actual "how to" book. The author does not get bogged down in explanations of why it works, but clearly she's done her homework. A good book to fully explain why these techniques work is "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot.

Accurately explaining how to flow energy is difficult, because it is such a subtle thing - but the author has done an excellent job! It is like trying to teach someone how to ride a bike by telling them what balancing feels like, what shifting weight on turns feels like. The book teaches how to sense energy by checking in with the attached emotion around/behind a given situation.

I just finished reading this book, and am looking forward to using her techniques. I wish that I had found this book several years ago, much of what she teaches I learned through trial and error. I feel like this book has given me the missing link in my practice!! THANKS!

My one criticism:
I have to admit that I avoided this book for a while because the title and the cover art are *kinda cheesy* - but you know what "they" say about that...

Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting
I have been coaching people into successful careers for over eight years and have been using some of the techniques in Lynn's book long before she published. Now that her book is out, I have made it REQUIRED reading for all of my clients at whatever level of success they may be, and am adding it to my site in the Rules for Rising to the Top section. Lynn's flamboyant yet sincere style makes this an easy-to-understand and easy-to-do book. With almost a decade invested in this approach, I have learned so much about how to self manage from this book. In just a week after reading it, following a surprising dry spell, my business increased substantially and continues to grow. All of my clients who have read the book are sharing major increases and advances within their own experience. This book is a must read.

life changing
This book is one of the most important books I ever read in my life. It could be summarized in a few words but a lot of things can be summarized in a few words and easily passed over. It must be read from cover to cover to have the effect it had on me.

I attended a lecture by Lynn Grabhorn after I had read the book.

It was okay. But the book itself supercedes the woman's presence and effect. For some uncanny reason she gathered together a volume of thoughts, some hers and some classic (the law of attraction for example) and formulied an approach to living that is indeed capable of changing ones life from mundane to ectastic.

I can't thank her enough. At her lecture, because of a comment I made, she referred to me as "Saint Morris". I'm hardly that, in fact, it was a sarcastic remark. But I don't care what she says about me. Her book is phenominal and if anybody seriously reads the book and examines between the lines they will see that she has created a work that is very powerful.

I am a published author, I wrote Steve Martin: the Magic Years. An authorized biography about the actor. Quite frankly, I wish I could have written a book that would have had the ability to impact lives in a positive way like Excuse me, your life is waiting.

I loved it.

Nuggets of truth
I read the book yesterday in spite of some of the severely negative reviews that appeared here. All I can say is that it's definitely far-fetched and, of course, completely unconfirmable.

Although the book is "out there", there are some aspects that will resonate with Christians. For instance, I don't know that I believe the particular creation story that she put forth; I also find it conveniently unprovable that we all were duped into signing a contract before coming to this world that allows the "dark ones" to oppress us for their own reasons.

BUT, there are some start parallels between her notions of "the birth" and "another dimension" that correlate exactly with some of Christian beliefs. Such as on pages 75-78 when she talks about a worldwide event taking place in the next several years that may appear as though millions of people have died, leaving the rest to endure a world that will be much more horrible than this one.

Christians believe a similiar event will take place in a similiar time frame and call it "the rapture". It's also taught in the Bible and is the subject of the enormously popular "Left Behind" series.

All in all, it's not a contradiction of her earlier (excellent) work. It allegedly explains why some people have trouble getting results with the methods explained in that book. All in all, it's at least not boring. I'm just not sure she hasn't been dabbling with the occult a bit too long.

For those considering this book
I loved Lynn's book: "Excuse Me"; as well as the accompanying Playbook. I was excited to learn that "Dear God..." is available. Although reviews are mixed on this site, I am going to give it a shot for two reasons. First, I deeply respect Lynn's previous work, as most reviewers here seem to as well.

But most importantly, I KNOW something rotten is going on in this world. That is obvious if you do a little further research other than what is being presented in the mainstream media. (Which most people do not, and that is why we are generally oblivious.) I have run out of logical answers for the illogical and irresponsible actions of those who seem to be in power, as well as those who continually go against the grain of what is good for humanity. It appears lately that this world is going to hell in a hand basket, whether you want to acknowledge that or not. We are in trouble--positive thinking or no. We need help.

If this book can give me some clues to why, and what I can possibly do, I am willing to consider them. At any rate, it sounds like Lynn was very brave to be stating what she seems to think is vital knowledge for us right now, in spite of the fact that she knew there was a great potential for backlash and criticism when she released the book. If more people took a stand on what they believed was truth, in spite of the criticism of others, perhaps we would all be better off in being able read all of the nuggets available and then decide for ourselves.

I am willing to have an open mind and review her thoughts, and take whatever value I can from it. I believe it is important that we acknowledge that there seems to be some sort of "negative" force out there (or in here) that needs to be dealt with and championed. Those of us who want to live in the "light" can not ignore it any longer. We need to take action. I will write a follow up as soon as I am finished with "Dear God..."
PS. Thank you Lynn for taking a chance and doing what you felt was right.

Good Metaphysical Book
I was more than willing to take a chance on "Dear God!" because of the respect I developed for the author while reading "Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting." I wanted to see what else she could possibly write after that last wonderful book, which I still find incredibly useful.

I had a feeling while reading, "EMYLIW" that this was a woman who had a few things figured out about life, and was able to explain her findings in the humble way an aunt or godmother would. She certainly is a wise cornball.

There seems to have been no other way to relay the information of "Dear God!" in other than the "kooky" mode, given the subject.

I think this particular kind of book appeals most to someone with very contemporary metaphysical interests, like myself. And perhaps also to people who have personally battled with the dark side of life, in whatever form that may have taken. It does provide a good cautionary warning for those that dabble in tarot, channeling, divining with pendulums, etc.

Grabhorn does appear to be off her freakin' nut, but as David Letterman would say - in a good way.
