review 1: I've been a fan of Chip Coffey since his work on Paranormal State and later on his own show Psychic Kids. I follow him on Facebook and when I learned about the release of his first book sometime last year, I immediately pre-ordered it. At just 250 pages, it's a quick read but it is filled with valuable and insightful information.It starts with Chip's own story and his childhood psychic abilities and experiences as his family moved around the south. Chip also reveals his first paranormal investigations and his first experience as a medium, leading up to his eventual television debut and how he got his own show.From here, Chip spends the next few chapters explaining what it means to be psychic, how to tell if your child might be psychic, and how to control and manage psychic... more gifts. He also spends a chapter explaining the need for psychic protection and how to deal with skeptics.Since the focus of the book is mainly on how to support your psychic child, Chip offers up the stories of many of the children that appeared on Psychic Kids. There are several follow-ups as to how they are doing now, and there are several passages told from the children themselves and their parents. Therapists, other mediums, and some paranormal investigators also lend their voice to the experiences that Chip shares with his readers.While the book is part autobiography, part self-help book, part paranormal investigation, and part psychic guide, I found Chip's own personal stories to be the most rewarding. There's a very touching story about his mother being visited by the ghost of Elvis's mom, and another frightening story about a devil-like creature visiting Chip's family farm when he was a boy. There are also numerous helpful checklists from an explanation of various paranormal investigative tools to the warning signs of demonic possession.Chip has written a book that all of his fans and many readers will find useful and fascinating. If you believe you have psychic abilities, or you have a child who might be psychic, or you have a general interest in the paranormal, then this book is for you. It's a very approachable read, and that's what I've always admired in Chip himself. Fame is not important to him; he respects his abilities and uses them to help mentor others. He is a sincere likable person and his book reflects just that!
review 2: Before, i was a Chip Coffey fan - now, having gotten a glimpse of what made this man such a miracle, i think i could be his friend. This personal view of what it means to know more than you should and feel what it really means to be 'gifted', for better and the horrible side of it all, seemed pure and honest. I appreciated the stories of personal experiences and his own perspectives on them. Could there be a continuation of these stories, with some follow-up stories of these same people? That would be very interesting, i believe, as i'm sure that Chip meets so many interesting people with great stories that could fill volumes, making very interesting reading for many hours. less
