What others are saying.
“I honestly feel this book can be a great benefit for anyone who reads it. We all have experiences with divine intelligence . . . experiences designed to guide us along life's bumpy path and direct us in ways that will bring the most peace and benefit to all concerned. The problem is that we often don't recognize these experiences for what they are; and as a result we end up not incorporating their wisdom into our life planning. This book helps us recognize these encounters as true communications from a higher source. It will help you understand and validate these encounters. The author accomplishes this by taking you through her own personal traumatic experience (the death of her sister) and sharing the loving guidance and spiritual support she received along her journey. I particularly liked the personal, case study approach. It makes the work easy to relate to and easy to read. It's not the least bit stuffy or preachy. I highly recommend this book not only as a one-time read but as a resource to keep with you for ongoing inspiration.” – John Frisbie
"Marian, great book! Couldn't put it down...only problem is now I am remembering my dreams and looking at them differently...not sure how to interpret, but gave me pause to look inside and up more! Thank you." – Brian
"This is a great book both in subject matter and in the manner it was written. It is very engaging and I could not put it down. I hope that many people will give this book serious consideration as it could truly help them in their lives. Personally, I plan on circulating some copies to friends and family. Thank you so very much for capturing your experiences and sharing them in this truly wonderful book!" – Kathy
" I will never forget the weekend that I stayed home and read your book. Due to events in my life, I connected immediately. I hi-lighted phrases, sentences, paragraphs and tagged pages. I LAUGHED BUT MOSTLY I CRIED. It woke up memories from my past that I have not dealt with.
Thanks for your prospective, I see events in my life from a different angle now.
You have no idea how our childhoods are so alike but yet so different. Thank you again and again. Healing only comes when the student is ready. I think I am." – Love, Bonnie
"This book showed me my bigger toolbox of God-given gifts I/we can choose to access (Spirit/Faith, Intuition and Dreams) to support a family member dying of cancer and also to live a deeper, richer and more meaningful life. Marian gave me a real sense of what is involved in fully supporting another human being in a healthy, honest and selfless way to pass from this life to the next journey of our Soul." Dan M
"”Dancing with God”…..what a great title for a wonderful book. I have 2 sisters and I cannot imagine having the courage, selflessness and support that is illustrated in this story. It has also helped to open my spiritual side to be on the lookout for daily signs of communication/messages. It’s a book that will always remain on my bookshelf, only to be read numerous times." – Peg S. Hussing
"I finished your book! It was absolutely wonderful and it’s the first one that I’ve read in a long time in such a short time. A powerful story of dying with grace and purpose and the love that allows those desires and wishes to be granted. Thank you for sharing your story!"– Sandra B
"This intimate look at Marian Massie's journey, both physical and spiritual, through her sister's illness has an honest simplicity that will resonate with anyone. The mundane details of day-to-day life are beautifully woven into her emotionally charged, challenging situation making this very relatable reading, all the while taking one into the deeper questions. The author's personal disclosure of recounting a loved one's process of conscious dying is surprisingly inspiring, and of course emotional; sorrowful but also funny at times. I found myself laughing out loud (and crying) and staying up late to read just a little bit more."– Nancy Wells
"Really enjoyed the read. Written more as a conversation between friends...The author was honest to the core, not afraid to share her feelings. Helped me in ways that I thought were just coincidences in life, but were really messages from God." – Anita D
"I finished your book on the way home from Jacksonville tonight. Wow! What an interesting and poignant story! The last half brought me to tears thinking about how it would be to lose my sister or my mother in such a way. Your sister's bravery and your tenaciousness is brilliantly documented; your honesty in reporting the ups and downs of both the mental and physical aspects of the illness leaves the reader with a real connection to you, the author. Well done!:)" – Linda
"Engaging, fresh and packed with insight. The message can be applied to most interpersonal interactions, not limited to end life." – Amy D
“Dancing With God…A True Story” is filled with spiritual advice which can be applied to one’s everyday life. This book is poignant , honest, and most of all it addresses Love and in particular how we let go of our loved ones in death and how they let go of us. I would be remiss if I had not read this special book." – Joan Kellogg – Author Wake Up to the Call of Soul
"Marian Massie has truly hit on something we are all aware of and don't really talk about - our daily connection with God, angels and the universe. Such a heartfelt story of her own connections and how you can notice and tap into these lovely daily miracles and messages. This book is truly a tremendous gift. Learn from Marian's story and tap into your own deeper self, greater gifts, and messages from our daily universal helpers. All I can say is, what a beautiful reminder of our true, divine selves and connection to something greater. Let the miracles begin (or be noticed)!"– Carol R
"Thanks to the open and authentic narrative of this true story, I could recognize signs from my past where God was indeed communicating with me quite clearly. A couple weeks after reading the book, I had a rather profound (and what may have been considered scary before this book) dream that I was able to take note of the messages in the dream more profoundly rather than simply filing it away in my forgotten dream files. In reading this book, I felt the emotions that she encountered along the way and it has awakened some sleeping memories within me." Megha R
"Marian Massie does it again. Her first book was incredible and this book is not only moving but one that you can go back to and highlight and take portions to learn in your own life. The story pulls you in and the fact that it is true is even more special. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn about the true meaning of relationships. A must read for 2011." – Laura S
"Compelling. Uncensored love of two sisters, a must read!" – Jean D.
"I'm not normally a reader of this type of book but I will admit that once I picked it up, it was very hard to put down. Part memoir, part guide, "Dancing With God" shows us valuable lessons about how to make sense of our life experiences and use them for personal growth. Highly recommended." – Mark
"Marian Massie has produced a most remarkable book in describing her family's journey through the years. While open and frank about the situation and her place in it, she includes methods of handling such intimate and personal crises and gives you much to think about for your own future. An enjoyable and insightful read." – Pat H
"You really did an amazing job!!! It was what I needed to read as I begin the journey with my Mom, knowing that I need to just be there for her and allow her to make the decisions on what is best for her, not what I want her to do. That I cannot judge her or her decisions, just support her through this all."– Kelly
