The Angels’ Diary and Celestion Study of Man

About this book

A grieving mother believes her dead children have found a way to speak from the celestial spheres. The messages arrive through Elizabeth Maud Weatherhead and become the foundation of this remarkable 1903 book.

Effie M. Shirey and Charles Samson are presented as spirit communicators, describing the next life and offering moral instruction to those still on Earth. The publication has an unusually personal history: the children's mother arranged for these communications to appear in print. Its imagined heaven is inseparable from a family's attempt to continue a broken conversation.
